These bloggers only write about stuff that stirs the shit. The altering/suppressing of the original versions is so much worse than the prequels but it's easier to say people are just upset about a fictional world and make everyone involved sound like an unreasonable nut.

Too bad, since presenting the preservation angle can stir shit too, that always brings out loyal superfans who will say they are purely his work, he has the moral right to do what he wants with them, etc. etc.. (Which ignores the fact that the trilogy he's altering is made up of one movie that he didn't finance and 2 that he didn't direct.) Anyway, this one's better:
