I have a suggestion... first, welcome back, Ken. Your presence here is actually a wonderful opportunity for us. Let me try to explain...
Many of us are perplexed at how so many people could think that what GL is doing is ok, and why they would think we are so stupid in demanding that the originals be restored. Ken is one of the people giving the blu-ray a 5* review, waxing on about it without having seen it, parroting the lines we hear over and over, and appears from our vantage point to be one of George's utterly vacuous minion conduits for his revisionism. HOWEVER, what sets Ken apart is that he is willing to come here and discuss it with us without calling us idiots. If you think about it, that is rather remarkable. This is an unique opportunity to try - and we all know it won't be easy - to pick his neurons and maybe just maybe learn the source of what to us is an incomprehensible but frighteningly widespread hypnotic trance.
Ken may be the only "regular" on this board who actually seems willing to stick around and try to convey a firsthand view from the "other side", without calling us names. He may not always be eloquent, but he is often more polite than we are.
I am reminded of those sci-fi movies, where the humans capture a space alien and try to keep it alive so they can communicate with it to learn their motivation. This is one of those chances! Let's not squander it... instead of needling Ken into leaving again, instead of laughing at his grammar, and most of all instead of trying to convince him that we're right, let's try and avail ourselves of this chance to do meaningful research into the minds of GL's contemporary fanbase.
Ken, if you're willing (and I hope you are), I'll start...
Ken, would it bother you at all if George Lucas never releases the original versions of the OT again? Start with a simple Yes or No, then you can add explanation if you want.
No Puggo because desbite all of the changes made to the films through the years it's still star wars yes it may not be the way we all remember it but it's star wars. And anything to do with star wars is ok by me. GL is the one who created this saga and without him there whould not be more star wars films, books , comics , eu stuff etc today without him. I like this whole SE VS OT debate it's fun star wars talk.
