The reason I did this was because over the years I've heard many horror stories about this forum and people getting verbally assaulted and ultimately banned for expressing their opinions on the original trilogy.

Double standard
Name one person who has been assaulted or banned for expressing their opinions here? We have plenty here who love the PT and even enjoy the SE, they are more than welcome and we respect their opinions. You won't find banned members or deleted threads just because someone said they think TPM is a superior film to SW. That is hardly a double standard. Let's not bullshit ourselves too hard while trying to defend TF.n, okay? Overzealous bullshitting of yourself has been clinically proven to cause severe brain damage.
And are you sure about your sig? I am pretty sure TV's Frink didn't say any of that.

The problem with the Adywan's cut is that it is tailored to satisfy the fans (not all fans of course) and ignores Lucas' vision to some extent. For example, Han shooting first, this is the classic fans versus Lucas issue. Forr example, Adywan's edit sets forth the fan position of Han shooting first, ignoring Lucas' take that Han Solo was not a mercenary. I agree that 2004 DVD scene looks odd and out of place and the original scene flows much better. However a true "fix" in a future edition should not be replacing the old scene but to completely redo the scene, remove the weird frame jump, etc., so that Lucas' vision is fulfilled.
who knows what is Adywan's take on TPM, in his edit he might just give the fans exactly what they want and completely remove Jar Jar, ignoring Lucas intent for Jar Jar beyond the comedic aspects of the character.
