I did MY part...gave a crappy review and rated it as one star.

Let's "stay on target," people! This is our chance to "strike back" in some small way at Lucas!!

This is pretty ridiculous as well. It's not going to matter. Lucas publicly rebukes those that want the OT. He doesn't give a hoot about all the one-star reviews in the world. The group of people that would take the time to "vote with their wallet" is so small compared to the general buying public who thinks having Star Wars in HD is "pretty cool". That's all that matters.

Actually, I didn't have to waste much time at all to vote with my wallet at all. In fact, it took no time. I've spent no time not buying these movies. It's great.

But I really hate this mindset. Forgive me for saying so, or don't, but it's a pretty lousy attitude to have. "You're not going to win, so why bother trying?" Gee, maybe because we believe in something? Maybe because, even if we can't win, we're at least sticking to our principles. Maybe because, even if it's a tiny dent in George's pockets, at least we know that he didn't get our money, that at least there's a few ten thousands of dollars he won't have to finance that much more CG shit on the screen. But, seriously, Star Wars "fans" are some of the most defeatist and frustrating people I've ever met! It's amazing they ever get anything done if they have that kind of attitude in real life too!

I'll wager that wrongfully and intentionally attempting to sway the general public's idea of something is not a good principle. And furthermore, the thing that most of us want is accessible right here on this website. I've been enjoying the OUT for some time now, in versions that indicate they were created with a lot of love and care. The obsession with getting a single man to do what more creative men are doing already (and better) is silly.

So you're saying we shouldn't complain because there's fanedits?
