The most interesting thing happened today. I was at school talking to a friend younger than me, and he, knowing I was a Star Wars fan, asked me if I knew how awful the changes they were making to the Blu-Ray were. My immediate response was a surprised one of "You know of the Blu-Ray alterations?!"

My friend is not a Star Wars fan by any means (doesn't even own the movies), yet he explained to me how he'd read on the web about "George Lucas adding Vader saying NO!" He definitely agreed that it was a completely unnecessary change. He also mentioned how awful and corny "that sound Obi-Wan made was."

Anyway, the point of the story is that the general populace, even the younger generation, are becoming more and more aware of the changes and how bad they are. The internet articles do a good job of expressing distaste, enough to convince regular people. By spreading the word of the distasteful changes, most people will come to the logical conclusion that they are necessary and extraneous; we just happen to be more vocal than most. Really, the true minority is the adamant supporters of the Special Edition...

Furthermore, did I mention that we're both high schoolers; so, yes, we are very much the younger generation... As I said before, don't generalize the younger generation as not being cultured! Please!
