SW on blu will sell like mad. It doesn't matter what version, because the general public will not care. "It's new, HQ, HD, and looks great! What's your problem?"

I used to have respect for the people of the New Hollywood. Then they got lobotomized and emasculated or burned out or destroyed.

I can understand people not wanting to bash GL for the fact that he did make these wonderful films. That was my mentality until the butchering of THX and the 3D plan.

That people have stopped caring is a sad sign that Lucas is not only winning, but that he is making his victory lap in destroying film history. 50 years from now people will think dated 90s CGI was actually from the late 70s.

Plus, with the implosion of the New Hollywood movement, American film began its slow inevitable decline into Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and Avatar. It will only be a matter of time when Transformers 5 wins the Oscar for best picture. It's gone to the point where Hollywood filmmaking is on the same level with Uwe Boll or the Friedberg/Seltzer duo, and is dead as a doornail, even though they rake in billions through high ticket prices and manipulating people to see their shlock.

People who decry SW for ruining Hollywood are laughing all the way to the bank now...
