I think people might be actually somewhat okay with the prequels as spinoff EU material if George Lucas treatment of the original 3 star wars films was taken out of the equation.
But after the 2006 non anamorphic transfers people are going to hate everything George does to the ninth degree until those films are given the treatment that they deserve and as the film industry expects and the fans.
I will not buy or support another Lucasfilm product unless it be a completely remastered and restored version of the theatrical release of the original trilogy from their original film elements.
Its nothing personal i don't hate George Lucas as a human being, but i have a right as a consumer to demand higher quality products for my money.
When sub par b movies and pornos get better treatment on dvd than the original motion picture star wars trilogy that made Lucas rich, you know something is fundamentally wrong.
Nobody seams to care what the fans even want. Millions of people worldwide want to see these films and show them to their children in the best quality possible, and what do we get for being loyal to George Lucas for 2 or 3 decades a slap in the face with the gout.
