The CNN guy seems to think that everyone has nostalgia for Star Wars as a kid and will keep supporting it out of obligation. But the funny thing is, I don't think Lucas is even operating on that principle anymore. He's assuming that there's a new generation of kids that will support it and the old fans aren't really necessary now and hey, maybe it's true.
I agree, if he had any regard at all for the first generation of SW fans like me, he wouldn't be trying to suppress the OOT now. Us old-timers are an annoyance to him because we REMEMBER the originals, and that mucks up his attempts to wipe away all traces of them. He can manipulate the minds of the young 'uns all he wants, so they are his target audience now.
I won't be going.
EDIT: OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED THAT ARTICLE LINKS TO MY "HAN SHOT FIRST" YOUTUBE VIDEO! :-D

Too bad I can't make any money off it. :-(
