But seriously, I'm also part of the "young" generation (I'm 23) and I do give a crap. I saw the SEs of ESB and ROTJ before I ever saw the originals but I gradually realized how much more interesting the OOT versions were and later even how crap some of the SE changes were.

Well when I started mentioning the younger generation, I wasn't exactly thinking mid-20s .. Not that you guys are "old" or anything :D

I was more thinking the mid to late teens of today. The ones who are growing up with Optimus in 3D and Captain Jack and Potter mania. This is what constitutes as the best of the best of today. This is the yardstick by which other movies are measured - in their eyes because its all they know - or rather, it's all they have.

Star Trek does not mean "The good of the many outweigh the good of the few, or the one" to this generation. We're talking more than 20 odd years of generation gap here. It's like what I mentioned, what if a good movie that will be remembered and revered by people with significant disposable income in their late 20s 10+ years from 2011 must have loud explosions for example? Seriously, just look at Star Trek...

I can imagine if GL decided to remake ANH, and not just tweak it, we'd have a make out scene between Luke and Leia or Han and Leia (and not just a "hint" of under-current), racing towards the exhaust port would have been much more action packed, Vader and Obi-Wan's fight would have been flying all over the place (think Yoda vs <anyone> in the prequels)... I can't imagine Megan saying "You came in here without a plan for getting out? some rescue.." to the same effect.. Hot and action-movie-worthy Megan may be, but she can't pull off such a dialogue I believe.. Still, if SW was remade, and they cast Megan + Hugh Jackman as Han and Zac Efron as Luke, it would be like printing money..
