They did this to make our lives miserable. This is what I have been saying about LFL for a time now; the manipulate our nostalgia for these films to sodomize us over and over again because we are the addicts and they are the dealers. There is an infinite demand and and an infinite supply: the suppliers can do whatever the hell they want with the fans because they cannot let go of SW. No one can. They always sink lower and lower and it will never stop.
I think some of us need to calm down a little...... "they did this to make our lives miserable" - Ridiculous comment!
No matter how much we want the originals, they ARE just films. Take a look on the front page of any news channel to see what really IS important, and the true suffering many people are going through......
Just films? Tell LFL that; they believe that the PT is the greatest work of art since the Illiad, and every film in the franchise is designed to be a drug and not a film. I hate to admit it, but even ANH and ESB were products to control you on a subconscious level and make money for LFL.
The shoddy treatment of these films is one of the reasons the world is so miserable today. Granted, it is a small part of that misery, but is part of the great skyscraper of misery that is the modern age. Look at how low Hollywood has gone today: they are making movies out of board games, for fuck's sake. They are making movies on par with an Ed Wood movie every week now. They have not made even a halfway decent film in 10 years. It is so bad I can't even remember the last time I went to a movie theater because there is so much shit in our multiplexes. All they care about is the opening weekend profits, so they make a movie not on any original idea anymore but just a remake of a remake so that it will have familiarity with the audience. It's no wonder that American film is dead and there is absolutely no hope of it ever recovering in our lifetimes. You no longer have an outlet of escape like you did in the 30s and 40s, during the Golden age of Hollywood; nor do you have a generation of great filmmakers like in the New Hollywood era to see a work of art. That is why part of the world is so miserable today.
