You know what i find laughable they actually had an offcial tenth anniversary issue of star wars insider on the phantom menace. A magazine which i stopped buying or have not had a subscription to going on 4 or 5 years.
I think i followed the mag all the way up to the 2004 dvd release. And i had bought a few issues since then on and off and had a hyperspace account which i let expire in 2006.
No Restored original theatricals for the 30th anniversary anyway, and just more prequels spinoff nonsense and the selling of bad merchandise and action figures. I swear the only people i know who still buy this garbage either collect action figures, dress up like dorks and go to conventions or have small children who watch the cartoon clone wars.
But how many actual non saga films and film fans does the prequels have. I can honestly say i am not one of them and i am ashamed to own the dvd's.
See i would have paid to go to any of the last 3 star wars celeberations except Lucas would not allow them to show the original theatrical movies at the screenings they held. So i skipped it out of a mindset of protest that did actually very little. He still has people buying his table scraps. And eating up the fact he has ruined the only good films he ever made by adding cgi to them.
Me peronally i was going to actually but the first season of the clone wars show on dvd until Lucas held off the season set for these 4 episode ripoff anthology travesties that are bare bones, incorrect aspect ratio and out of order random episodes. Now i think once the set comes out i won't buy it since he thought it was wise to anger people with the typical LFL release strategedy.
Its like the bad recut droids as a movie. No comeplete season of episodes just recut garbage. He also tampered with young indiana jones so i refused to buy those overpriced dvd sets too.
I am going to get rid of the destroyed versions of thx 1138, american graffiti and star wars. And have to watch laserdiscs to get the non molested versions. Gotta love the likes of Lucas and Disney. Its like Dr Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy in star trek said " I know engineers they love to change things",lol.
