Lucas is missing the point. I understand his dissatisfaction, but Star Wars is not his to change. How many other people contributed to that trilogy, yet only his opinion is valid? If Lucas created Star Wars 100 percent, why are the prequels so inferior? Cause it's clear he's only working with yes-men this time around.

And as far as the VHS copies of the Original, they're out of print. You should know that George, you put them there.

Updating Special effects annoys me, but I can live with it. Changing actors is absurd. Luckily for Lucas, dead people can't put up much of a fight. As far as added scenes, they really destroy the pacing. I'd say Jabba's scene in ANH is more detrimental to Star Wars the Greedo shooting first. The scene is pointless and inane. Doesn't Han say exactly the same things he said to Greedo?

It's also odd when SE fans say 'you should be happy your getting Star Wars at all' when refering to tomorrow's dvd. Am I getting Star Wars? I consider tomorrow's dvd as much Star Wars as Lucas will after he comes out with all new 'improvements' in a few years.
