I wonder how forgiving I would have been with the SE changes had GL not taken a big shit on SW with the PT. Greedo Shooting first, the zany robots scene on the approach to Mos Eisley, Jabba turned into a cheap hood who can literally be walked on by drug smugglers, these are all pretty bad and turn the movie into things that I prefer to not watch. But I don't feel like I would have cared as much... like I would still be carrying as much of a grudge about it, had those changes not been followed up with the PT.

In a theoretical world where there is no PT, GL not making the OOT available is still a huge problem, but I don't feel like I would feel this strongly going on 2 decades later.

Especially given the fact that in my mind, thanks to Harmy, the problem of OOT availability is no longer an issue.
