I haven't checked over at TFN but they must be loving these comments by Lucas. That is the sad thing about the internet is that it has made fans pick sides and defend stupid shit like this. I guarantee they are continuing to use the old line, "Well, its his movies and he can do what he wants!" I guarantee if they took a poll of ALL Star Wars fan the majority would want both versions and as much extra material on any boxset because that is the reason you buy a boxset, you want everything!
Just because there are a few extreme people on both sides (a few idiots on our side who have to wish death to Lucas), and (a few idiots on their side who love it when Lucas wont release the OOT), fans like me in the middle have to suffer. Lucas is actually listening to both extreme sides on the internet (for some reason I have no idea) since he and all of us have never talked face to face! Just listen to his daughter on Twitter, you can tell she is caught up on internet talk cause she is reciting all the talking points.
As much as I love the internet for the many tools it affords me in life that I didn't have 20 years ago, its pretty destructive because its gives many people a forum to talk and hide behind a computer, and they would talk MUCH differently if we were all face to face.
Sadly, George Lucas has bought into the internet bitching of a few, and lumped us altogether. Pretty sad if you ask me.
