You seem to be under the naive impression that if we all act nice and cozy with Georgie Porgy, that he'll suddenly change his mind, delete all the SE and SSE crap, and happily release the OT versions. Sorry, but that ain't gonna happen until Lucas dies (if then) as he wants the SSE 2004 version to remain the definitive one, at least until he decides to change it again.
But one thing is sure, Lucas will never release the OT. He has stated this, and it is the only logical course of action for a madman intent on combining the two trilogies. If you believe otherwise, then have fun in your fantasy land.
Me, I live in the real world, where Lucas is an insane despot and where the OT is something you burn to DVD-R.
No, I never said that giving Lucas a big hug was going to help. I said that calling him names and attacking anybody who comes on this board with differing opinions definately WILL NOT help.
You know how many people I meet in a day who have no idea about what's going on with the OT? If I called everyone who liked the re-inserted ANH Jabba scene an "idiot asshole fanboy etc. etc.", I wouldn't be very well liked. (But then again, we're talking about real life here, not the anonymity of the internet...). Instead, I tell them about what Lucas has been doing with the changes, and his refusal to release the original edits on DVD, and their usual response is something along the lines of "No shit? I didn't know that. That's fucked up." And suddenly, we have somebody with that seed planted deep in their heads. We have another convert and supporter. I then direct them to this site and the rest writes itself.
You, Sam_Lu, I've seen personally attack just about every person who comes on these boards with a differing opinion. It doesn't matter if they support us but still like the SE's, you throw demeaning remarks their way for not spending their lives hating Lucas. It's childish and purile. Hell, you're accusing me of living in a fantasy world, simply because I don't agree with your personal take on the situation. Are you this lacking in fundemental social graces?
Christ man... Lucas hasn't been able to stay the course of any statement he's made so far. Why do you think that the promise of money can't sway him on the OT issue? If you really don't think anything can EVER be done, then you must realize that all you're doing is wasting bandwidth bitching about it, right?
Nevertheless, now that I've droned on about the idea that maybe treating everyone like shit isn't going to get anything done... I'll leave you all with this very special message:
Love,
Rebel Rouser, the Rockabilly Retard
