Since the BluRay announcement of the SE's only last week, many of us here have just put our hands up at Star Wars. Being a SW fan is the ultimate catch-22. If you buy the Bluray SE cause you want to still somewhat enjoy the movies, you are funding Lucas and his hatred for the originals. If you don't buy them and stick with Non-Anamorphic, you are sacrificing yourself to watching a crappy transfer of the movies you love.

So if anyone had the ultimate choice: If you could go back and time and convince George Lucas to stop making movies after 1977, would you do it? Now you are giving up Empire and Jedi for all you OT fans, so this is not an easy question.

But we would essentially be getting a BluRay Star Wars movie next year like one of Lawrence of Arabia, Citizen Kane, or Wizard of Oz. A single classic movie with a great transfer to the original version, with loads of interviews in the context of 1977, remember Vader is not Lukes father now, and no Lucas revisionism. We wouldn't be arguing about the SE, the PT, is Jedi the start of the downfall of Star Wars? It would just be the Classic Star Wars that we would all buy, and not think twice about.

Actually i wish he stopped making films after 1989. Then we would not have made those terrible prequel movies and crystal numbskull.

In terms of film fans what is worse than being a Lucas fan. Watching 2 of your favorite film franchises destroyed in a 9 year span of time.

If that was not bad enough he has erased the original versions of his films from existence, from when he made good films. If that was not bad enough he replaced them with versions with mickey mouse cgi in them, might as well take a crayon to a classic painting.
