generalfrevious your right about that as fans of SW their is nothing we can do to change LFL's mind on the issue of the OT. The only thing we can keep doing is to send letters and e-mail's to LFL about this issue but it will still get us no where.

Which is why we should have never becomes SW fans in the first place. Or better yet, Lucas should have never set foot in film school, and should have gone to business school. He would still become a billionaire anyway.
Better to have never known and hate than loved and lost.
gf, all this talk about "we shouldn't have loved it in the first place", isn't it a bit late for this? not to mention it's completely illogical to say it, you can't go back and change history, unless you personally know Doc E. L. Brown (if you do, please let me know)
and furthermore, you make it sound like it's the fan's fault, this way. and it's not, IMHO.
I don't regret being a Star Wars fan back in the day, in the early 1980s -- they were good times.
Using "shoulds" is not a healthy way of thinking either... though I understand why you feel that way.
I am very greatfull to be a star wars fan I will allways like star wars no matter how many changes and or allterations are made to the films. It's not the fan's fault. No one can perdict the future.

I never intended the words to mean it was the fan's fault. But with the advent of the PTSE and GL's refusal to properly restore the OOT, it seems like being a SW fan was a bad bargain in the end.
The problem also, 15 years ago the negatives for the OOT were in appalling shape, and Lucas chose to bastardize it by making it into the SE instead of just simply restoring it. And we honestly don't know if the OOT was made into other film elements. It seems like time travel is the only way to preserve the OOT nowadays.

Either that or a few mouse clicks over in the preservation forum.

Kenkraly2007, the more i read your post's the more im convinced you are George Lucas or even someone from Lucasfilm.
Trust me I am not GL or someone from LFL. I am just a fan of star wars that's all.
"We never should have been Star Wars fans in the first place"?
What an incredibly stupid thing to say! Sure it can be real tough being an oldschool fan these days, but that doesn't change the fact that the original films are awesome and that we all got tremendous enjoyment out of them, and that most will continue to do so. I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Even with all the needless difficulties and rubbish that's been going on, I still love the original movies and always will. The fact that so many people here continue to put so much effort into preserving them is inspiring and amazing to me, and it seems the height of foolishness to go telling people to give up and not bother with any of it.
It's like "Eternal September" again, instead of the AOL people migrating to usenet, it's now the "I Like" web2.0 generation migrating to forums....
I echo that setament too I will allways like Star Wars it's been my favortie film series and it allways will be.

I think you ment sediment.
"These movies try to keep children; stupid children forever.
And that I think is wrong" - John Simon
"Obviously George Lucas is pouring old wine into new bottles and getting kids drunk on it." -Joseph Francavilla
"The vision which once burst across the screen with boldness and vigor has grown parsimonius and withered. The sterility of repetition has replaced inspiration, and the middle section of the Star Wars saga ends as sad and brittle as a dropping Christmas tree in January; its ornaments bright with a promise that has passed." -Michael Mayo
"Lucas actually has Yoda yawn himself to death. With Yoda, we identify!" -Steve Dimeo
"Return of the Jedi is not the "master's thesis" of a master filmmaker, but the dead-end narcissism of a filmmaker trying to disguise his hate of the whole process with the collaboration of an audience self-hypnotized into believing this is the Real Thing."
'Star Wars is at least 40 years out of date as science fiction" -Time Out
"I'm not as bothered by the film's lack of resolution as I am about my suspicion that I really don't care." -Vincent Canby, New York Times
"The good news is that George Lucas and co have perfected the technical magic to a point where almost anything and everything - no matter how bizarre - is believable. The bad news is the human dramatic dimensions have been sorely sacrificed" -James Harwood, Variety
"[The audience] cheered the Lucasfilm logo. They even cheered Rupert (talk about an evil empire!) Murdoch's 20th Century Fox logo. They cheered the slogan, 'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...' Truth to tell, there were more cheers at the beginning than there were, almost two and a quarter hours later, at the end." -Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle
"The Force against dullness is finally goosing George Lucas" -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"I'm actually lost for words: amazed that I've held a candle so long for so little and appalled by how irrelevant this marathon enterprise has become." -Jame Christopher, The Times
"I've discovered that most critics themselves are cinematically illiterate. They don't really know much about movies." -George Lucas
and that applies to all of us. SUXXX !T BYTCH3Z
