Like CO, I've finally had enough of this nonsense too. Lucas has flipped the bird at the original films - the ones that MADE his Empire! - one too many times.

P.S. If anybody from Lucasfilm - or indeed anyone that knows the bearded one - happens to visit this site, it would be awsome if somebody had the balls to say to Lucas, "This (release) is wrong. These films were created via a LOT of talented people. Many of whom have had their work erased from the trilogy.

Yes, it was the originals and the original fans who made his LFL empire, and he just continues to give the big middle figure to both.

And since 1997, it's been a sore spot that the talented artists who worked their asses off to make the visual effects of the OOT get remembered and disrespected by having that work replaced with inferior CG effects and additional useless scenes.
