Someone hold me back from jumping out a window. I dare you to check out the official SW Facebook page. Here's one post:
Why are some of you guys mad about the original trilogy being editted? I mean, it's not like they were so awesome or anything... I personally prefer the new trilogy, since they're newer and have more action in them, and i'd like the originals to be reeditted and made just as awesome. I've watched the uneditted versions of the originals, and frankly i didn't like them at all, but maybe that's cuz my generation don't like movies that were made in the 70s.
They're not joking. -_-
Yeah, the prequels are awesome, and it's not like all that awesome action in the prequels, like a chase in an asteroid field, Obi-Wan cutting someone's arm at a bar, the star destroyers, the set were Dooku is holding Palpatine in ROTS, the speeder bikes, etc, were all ripped off the OT... Oh... wait...
On another subject, I'm kinda amused by the reaction to the blu-rays, while the NOOOOOOOO!!! is indeed a horrible change and ruins the scene (and I swear it has to be George giving us the finger, why else would he add the most ridiculised moment of the prequels?), the movie was ruined long ago, it's no worse than Hayden's ghost. Or Boba's voice in Empire. It's strange that for some reason this is the last straw for some people.
I did not plan to buy the blu-ray set before I knew of rocky R2, blinking Wicket and yelling Vader. Not sure why anyone can be surprised the movies have been ruined some more. As I said in another post I'm surprised there aren't more changes and also a bit surprised at what he did change.
