I think the LucasBashing really stems from how he kind of pisses on the fans with his issues over the real versions of the OT. I know it's his personal philosphy of film, but it's kind of a douche bag philosophy. I think the personal distaste fans have garnered for Lucas over the SE/DVD fiasco has also colored their perceptions of the PT, whereas instead of being flawed films by a filmamker we like, they become a slap in the face by someone with 'no respect for the fans.'

EXACTLY!!! (well some of it) Ohhh I didnt get want I wanted for the OT DVDs. Everything Star wars is crap and none of it is good! I hate you all! :::holds breath and crosses arms until he get what he wants from movies that belong to someone else::::

And give the "cultural signifigance" argument a rest. I would be amazed if any of you actually care about that. You want "your" vision of Star Wars and thats all there is to it. At least be honest. Cultural significance indeed.

To say Lucas had no respect for the fans is utter tripe. Its more accurate to say that Fans have no respect for Lucas.

I really dont know why you all continue to bitch about this. As members of this forum you all know how to get hold of rather nice copies of the Original Trilogy in all its OH my Lord these scenes need to be replaced/updated glory.

And don't get me wrong I just want to share my favoritist thing ever with people who feel the same way. I want to discuss the latest episode of the Clone Wars every week but I dont DARE go there. Oh No No. Its so frustrating
