Besides the quality issue, how else did the GOUT not help people remember the essence of the originals?

The way in which he issued the GOUT was a clever ploy to "prove" how poor the original one was. Now, most people walking the street believe Lucas' BS, based on the GOUT, and are thankful that he rescued it with the SE.

Plus, he relaesed the GOUT as a bonus feature (the real shame of the GOUT), and did not even take the 5 minutes to make the DVDs anamorphic. Lucas treated the originals like second-class citizens. It is an appalling and unfair treatment to these three films. The very thing that made him an undeserving billionaire and he throws it out like a used condom. What a fucking monster.
