I am a huge Red Sox fan and each year that goes by, I have more faith in the Red Sox finally winning a world series over the odds of the OT getting released. This is a man who's company edited guns out of the hands of the men in ET and replaced them with Walkie-Talkies (yes Spielberg and Lucas are in cullusion for cartoon PG kiddieness). This is the man the releases not the director's cut, but the "GEORGE LUCAS DIRECTOR'S CUT" of THX 1138, again with new CG and promised that the theatrical cut is gone. And he means it. I think Luca$' attitude is the more we serve up fanboy hate, the more he steals it away and makes it "his project" of supposed genius, though leaning now towards self-delusion. No, my friend, Star Wars has gone the way of Jar-Jar and Company. It is far more Roger Rabbit now, having live actors mixed in with CG, then the reverse. The brilliance of Star Wars is now mixed with Naboo Celebrations (Jar-Jar actually goes "WEEESA FREEEE!" in the ROTJ now). My friend I hope you do have that much patience...there won't be that cut until after his death. Now there are people working on that cut and soon there will be excellent copies of edits and that will be as good as it gets. Don't worry you'll have more CG goodness in Ep. III coming, lunchboxes, toys, and YES A TV SERIES!!!!!

Keep waiting. And welcome to the board. Most of us our bitter here and "A New Hope" means magnoliafan edits here and not the crap getting released on 9/21.
