I just don't understand when he says this is how he wanted the OT to be when they were released?! That's bullshit! This 2004 edition is how he wants the films to be NOW to fit in with all his other insane marketing decisions, ie the Droids and Ewoks releases, the PT.
I wish I didn't care so much what came out of Lucas' mouth, he is really making me angry now, once upon a time he had my full respect, that is very quickly flying out the window as we speak.
Shame George, shame.
