So...what did I miss....
Oh.

I'm not sure why people are shocked, given what happened in the SE previously. Han stepping on Jabba's tail. Gringo shooting first. The worst musical act ever. Hayden's creepy uncle stalker head on Shaw's body. Gungans yelling "Wesa free!"
Not to mention the screwed up deliberate decisions regarding color and sound.
A bunch of new, terrible changes should have been expected. And make no mistake, they are indeed terrible. But they shouldn't be surprising.
I'm still on the fence regarding purchase, but nothing I've heard in the last few days has made a difference to me regarding that decision.
I probably knew that some changes were going to be on the set, but I am still appalled that he changed them for a third time. I don't care if there were technical "improvements" to the films. They should not be tinkered with at all once they are finished. I cannot purchase this shit. This is an affront to everything tasteful about society. I have to say this, but this PTSE nightmare has lasted longer than the Third Reich for chrissakes. I know it stupid for me to compare GL to Hitler, but IMO he has finally deserved that moniker in terms of filmmaking. Now don't get me wrong, GL is not a murderous dictator or plunging the country into a hellhole. He can make as much shlock in the vein of the PT as long as he is alive. But when he has to change the original movies every seven fucking years I lose a little of my faith in humanity.
