Another big problem , I think, is Rick McCallumn (?sp)
I agree. I, too, wonder why nobody in Lucasfilm seems to be standing up to Lucas. I mean with all the rumored changes like Hayden in Return of the Jedi and Boba's voice being changed, I'm wondering why none of the prequel actors who are going to be replacing the original ones (or in the case of Boba Fett, the voice) are protesting any of this. Do they all support it? Or are they all afraid of standing up to Lucas? Or does their contract say they have to do all that stuff, or what?
What might be a good idea is to express our unhappiness about the box set to the Jedi Council at starwars.com. I've seriously considered asking them why Lucas refuses to release the originals and why this box set isn't even being labelled as "Special Editions" (or whatever they are now) and so on. That might actually be our best chance of letting them know that we don't want the SEs, since the actual people from Lucasfilm that actually work on Star Wars are the ones that answer the questions there. If we can get this through to them, who knows... Maybe they'll listen, maybe they won't (probably won't, unfortunately), but it might be worth a shot. Especially since there's that letter writing campaign thing today to Lucasfilm.
