its very odd reading board members putting forward suggestions that are far worse than anything old George could ever imagine, is this what Star Wars has come too? I sincerely hope Disney has no plans to remake any of the movies, not even the bad ones.

Think of it this way: could Disney possibly do any worse than the prequels?

When you look at it like that, the only way to go from there is up.

I actually really like SKots idea, and I have expressed similar thoughts in the past.

I'd much rather have the old films left the hell alone, disconnected from all the fluff. And hey, if that were the case, I'd probably be able to get behind and maybe even enjoy some of that fluff. I would have much rather had a whole new Star Wars series back in 1999, than having the new one that was made pull the old ones down with it.

Kind of like how you have all these 2003 Battlestar Galactica fans who watch the old series and feel it is boring and unwatchable. More power to them. It is cool you can have old fans and new fans and they are all happy and get what they want. The thing that suck about the prequels was rather than old fans/new fans living separately but harmoniously, you ended up with burnt old fans pissed off because they weren't allowed to have the movies they liked in any quality standards beyond that of 1993.

This is actually really exciting. I have a hard time imagining Disney not eventual releasing the originals remastered on Blu-ray. This is the best news in anything Star Wars related in a very, very long time. As much as I hate to see a company like Disney gobbling up every other little entertainment company in its sights, this is one company I am glad to see them buyout.

Thanks George, I kind of love you again.
