Strawman.
And where does that come from?
You know, that works for those who like the PT only, too. And yes, there are people who do.
Speculation.
No. You are the one who has no argument when you say that "Lucas wants people to like the PT as much as the OT so that the entire saga can thrive." One doesn't need to like both trilogies the same, to accept it as one saga. Besides, that kind of argument (or lack of) is in the same extreme as Lucas gushers excuses.
Another strawman.
Again, I'm not sure what you're trying to prove. You've been following my posts a bit too closely. Obsession?
It's plainly obvious that Lucas wants all six movies to stand up together. He knows many people dislike the PT. Your logic is inherently flawed. "One doesn't need to like both trilogies the same to accept it as one saga." This is nonsensical and irrelevant. I'm not talking about acceptance. I'm talking about what people are willing to spend money on.
Your "Strawman" in response to my comment about creative input to the PT/OT is idiotic. The OT had Kurtz, Marcia, Kazanjian, Kirschner, Marquand, Kasdan, and other people heavily involved in the creative process. The PT had Lucas writing a first draft and making a movie from it. Your denial is borderline childish and irrational.
Are you claiming that Lucas doesn't want people to like the PT alongside the OT? Are you saying that having people enjoy the PT/OT together is not beneficial to the viability and profitability of the film saga?
If you think that a majority of fans prefer the PT, then you've got your head buried under the sand, kiddo. Look at sales figures for individual trilogies on dvd, for example.
Stop quoting my posts. If you feel like expressing your irrational denial, head to blu-ray.com.
