At this point, nearing 50, I don't have any interest in the film Star Wars anymore. My 2006 GOUT is enough for me, which I last watched five years ago. Lucas has contaminated the franchise to the point of it being toxic.
Someone pointed out the other day (sorry, I forgot who) that this is the only film in history that has this much fanbase hatred and venom. Lucas has once again broke new ground - he's actually managed to turn his own fanbase against itself.
I'm only here to support the cause, expose the decades of lies, and to discuss my personal Star Wars canon with fellow nerds. Which, by the way, has been largely formed & guided by some of you here. That's a big deal to me, in case I don't thank you folks enough. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be a Star Wars fan anymore.
Truth be told, if a proper release of the original Star Wars were released, I wouldn't rush out to get it. It's not fun anymore. It's become work to be a fan.
Foster, Daley, and Zahn are Star Wars now.

I'm with Anchorhead. All of the beauty and magic that that Star Wars has brought me is pretty much gone. I just don't give a shit any more. I want the OOT. That's all I want. I didn't buy the GOUT, and I haven't bought a single Star Wars product in years. I didn't watch the T.V. show, I won't go see the rereleases, and I won't go buy the BR or anything else. The OOT isn't coming ever again. And that's the only thing I want. I'm at the point where I just no longer give a fuck.

MikeOT is right. The OT just isn't the same anymore. I'm at the point were I'm not really excited by the films. I hold onto the memories I had when it was just the trilogy, but Star Wars isn't Star Wars anymore. Star Wars has become a whore and George Lucas is the pimp that collects. Sure, he fixes her up real pretty, but at the end of the day, we just want all natural.
