"holy crap that was so badass!"
half of you fans didnt even grow up with the originals and prolly saw star wars for the first time as the SE...

so in a way your generation is all teenage kids...
im not saying that you guys dont count... but you did say that "The problem with you guys is you assume that everybody is either one of you or ignorant."

so there's us... and then there's the ignorant... and thats where you fall into jimbo...
you cannot back up any of your arguments... you simply say "AOTC is awesome because it has a memorable story with tons of action"
"i love all of George Lucas' work!" "I love George Lucas" "Yoda fighting was the best scene in cinema history".... but you leave out substance...

we dont know why you think any of this because you dont explain yourself...

so your right... they're are us and then the iggnorant...
you!

and im not picking on you here... your the one who said it... im simply pointing out who the iggnorant are...

The flaw in your logic is you assume that I like everyone of the changes. I have signed the petition and I hate him putting Hayden in Return of the Jedi. I hate it to death. My opinion of George lowered after seeing this. But for crying out loud why would you rather have matt lines, abandoned cities, fuzzy lightsabers, and dewbacks that don't move. There are far far more good changes then bad.

I think almost everyone will agree with this: we're not against the changes, we're against Lucas pretending like the originals never happened and not releasing them on DVD as well. Those changes seem a million times worse than they actually are because they're completely screwing with what the movies originally were and now the illusion is being made that the Prequels were made first, since Lucas feels he has to bend everything in the Originals to fit his latest vision.

And would I rather have matte lines, abandoned cities, fuzzy lightsabers, and dewbacks that don't move? If all of it's in a thirty-year movie that I loved without computer graphics, I definitely would rather have them. And I'll give you an example to follow, Jimbo; I'll explain my answer. Those original effects used to be the pinnacle of visual effects, and captivated audiences, becoming a major part of the reason why Star Wars is so beloved today. Without those original effects, much of the magic of Star Wars is gone, because instead of seeing the effects evolve with the films, the latest effects are simply being added to the older movies, taking away an essential part of Star Wars: the creativity of the original cast and crew.

Guys, I think we need to start hounding Criterion about this. If enough people complain, we could receive an ally in forcing open the safe where Lucas keeps the prints of the originals. I'd be willing to spend the extra money for a Criterion Collection of the Star Wars Trilogy, even if there aren't any extras except for six hours of commentary in which Lucas is muttering, 'Bastards...what have you done...distributing my work prints to the world...no...not good...bastards...why did it come to this?' and of McCallum shouting, 'You f*cking bastards...you destroyed my well-placed plans to ensure that these movies would never be seen again...damn, you, damn you!'
