Then they very politely asked why he wouldn’t make the original versions of the movies available on DVD/Blu-Ray. They stressed that they don’t mind the retroactive edits (doubtful, but they were being nice), they just wanted good digital copies of the original cuts, too. Lucas’s response? An eyeroll and a huffy, “Grow up. These are my movies, not yours.”

What I have come to understand about Lucas is if you don't follow his vision 100%, he DOESNT want you to be a fan.

Think about it, he has been pulling this shit since 1980, except we were the fans who followed his vision back then so we never saw the way he treated the Star Wars 77 fans.

If you loved the Original Star Wars, everything changed in 1980. Vader became Lukes father, then a bigger smack in the face was Luke and Leia being siblings! Then Obiwan becomes the biggest liar as everything he says in the original is contradicted. Now the movie is called Episode IV: A New Hope, as it isn't referred by Lucas as Star Wars anymore. The only reason it was still listed as Star Wars on the VHS sleeves was because FOX owned the rights, but after they gave up the rights to SW for the right to distribute the PT, every release after was A New Hope.

Star Wars was never sold seperate as you had to buy the Star Wars Trilogy, or fuck you he could care less as you have to see the movies 4,5,6. Fast Forward to 1997, everything changes as we (OOT fans) are pushed aside like the SW 77 fans. The SE comes out and the OOT is nowhere to be found in good quality again. The PT comes out, and now the Saga is 1-6, and either you see it like that along with updates to the 4-6, or fuck you, that's the way the movies are now.

As much as I disagree with Lucas in his way of thinking, he has always had contempt for the fanbase that doesn't look at things his way RIGHT NOW at the moment. Right now, in his mind, the OOT crowd is old news, and he doesn't want us as part of the fanbase anymore, hence why he won't release the OOT the right way for us to enjoy it.
