You need to work on your sarcasm...especially if you throw out the rape thing.

Well, it's hard to express "sarcasm" on the internet. Besides that, english is not my native language and my culture is totally different from yours, so it's natural that we have different views on such things.

Yes, it is connected with our chilhood (therefore these can be seen more than just movies), but now, in 2011, it's time to let go. I accept that I can't have everything in my life, and that my childhood is long gone. Many of our childhood memories are connected to this movies, but we won't regain it, if SW will become, what it once was.

I will never agree with this. The point seems to be totally lost on you. I adored Star Wars as a child and I love it as an adult, but to just go 'ok it's shit but at least it's something' is ludicrous. The point isn't the fact that he has fucked around with it so much that it's making less sense than ever before, it's the fact that he's dismissed the original, awesome movie (remember, the cool one with the ace sound) to the point where he's actually physically destroying any remains of it. Anyone with a brain within their head can see there's something seriously wrong here (despite the many, and potentially illegal aspects of his actions).

This, and only this, (the EU and Prequels can fuck off, IMO)is why I'm feeling in anyway 'down' about Star Wars.

What you said here does not contradict anything I said.

I am not a member of this site since yesterday. I was a reader already in 2004 and joined here two years ago. I totally understand anything about preservation of SW and knowing some things, I will not cry if OUT is not released by Lucas ;).

I'd feel the same if it was "Citizen Kane"... important cultural stuff deserves to be preserved.  Just "let it go" is not the purpose of this forum.  That's why there are people here doing their own preservations/restorations, and the various efforts such as the webpage(s) and facebook page, petition, etc.  It's not about whining, it's about acting.

There are three other forums I belong to with similar aims for other topics (not Star Wars), just so you know that it's not just some weird SW fixation.

I hope you were not responding to me. Because if you did, then all my effort of posting, being active etc. on this site makes no sense. I know exactly what and why we are doing it. I was just responding to people doing nothing and whining. Strangely, but people who are doing something (like Adywan, Harmy, you etc.) are not whining, but people who does nothing, are talking bullshit like (GL raped my childhood etc.). Personally I'm involved in preservation of SW on another site (you know exactly what I'm talking about ;) ) and that's why I will not cry if OUT will not be released.
