I mean no offense by this, honestly, but both of you (Easterhay and thecolorsblend-I've enjoyed your insights) need to quit worrying so much.

As the Star Wars landscape has changed, so have a lot of people's views. With the announcement of the sale to Disney, I've seen a dramatic shift in what people think of George Lucas, and I never thought that would happen. While most people agree that they want him to stay out of their ST, a lot of people have gone back to thoroughly loving him for the OT and his support on fan projects, and simply regard the PT as an affair that we're all just trying to forget about. He gave away his right to release the OUT, so there is no longer any reason to be angry with him that it's not being released.

Likewise, compare the hate of the PT now to 8 years ago - Fanedits have risen that damn near make these GOOD movies, even if they'll never reach the level of the OT. People who used to believe that the PT was unsaveable are now the very people who are trying to save them, making as many suggestions as possible to every edit thread that pops up. Consider how many people are waiting in the wings for the PT Revisited that refuse to watch them right now.

People are almost never prepared to change their minds, but it happens all the time. Everyone just needs that one well worded argument to penetrate their minds and fester for a while. Likewise, even now I'm trying to change your opinion on this forum's ability to weather different opinions. While I understand your choice not to mess with what you believe is the "status quo", I think you are misreading the situation. Let down your hair, sir. Enjoy the party :)
