The purpose of this site has changed. The last petition written in 2009 was ignored in the 2011 release. Instead of writing another, the forums now cultivate a culture of doers/makers/redoers. If you want the petitions to be the purpose of this site, then spend the time rewriting it to fit a new goal.

No one's forced to do anything. Not Lucas to preserve this stupid film or the public to preserve the stupid film. They choose to do it.

GL has proven not once but several times that he and all the companies he funds is not up to the task of preserving this stupid film. Why you want to go back to him for the twenty something time expecting a different results is well....
