1. this site's mean objective, and one many members on here agree with is to get the OOT released on DVD and now Blu Ray. It not just to get the original Star Wars released.

This is true, but why does that mean Anchorhead has to like ESB and ROTJ? The movie he loves isn't on DVD or Blu-Ray, either.

2. I could find you multiple posts where people claim the ESB is their favorite Star Wars film. They actually prefer it to the first movie.

I say again, why does this mean Anchorhead has to agree?

3. the story wasn't over at the end of the first movie. Vader was still alive, the war between Empire and rebellion wasn't over. Luke had yet to fulfill his promise to become a Jedi. What is wrong with wrapping all that up?

Nothing is wrong with it. It's just that Anchorhead disagrees with the way in which it was wrapped up.

Besides, just because everything wasn't "wrapped up" neatly by the end of the first film doesn't mean it didn't work brilliantly as a stand-alone film. Despite what George says, when he wrote the first film, he never intended to make sequels. I've read the original treatment and script, the stuff about him taking out the middle part and making a trilogy out of it is B.S. - he wrote Star Wars, that was it. He later decided to make sequels, and leave room for movies set before the original, as well.

4. When this first started it seemed like Anchorhead had a problem with the whole OOT, not just ESB and ROTJ. He even said he'd prefer the Han Solo books over it. Why piss on the first movie?

I believe he feels that the way the "saga" has continued from 1980 to today has tainted his opinion of the original film, and that because of this, he now prefers the radio drama and the Han Solo books to the films themselves.

Why does this bother you on such a personal level?
