Bullshit.
I've never seen any pro-SE fanboys here saying only the SEs should be out and flaming you guys. If this is the case than please PPOR. Just post one link of someone saying they only want the SEs and that you guys suck.
I saw the movie in the theaters 10 times, and not once did anybody ever boo.
Secodnly, if the movie was generally hated, then why is it the fifth highest grossing movie of all time? $431,088,301 to me indicates a successful movie.
Not only that, but even the majority of the critics liked it. According to rottentomatoes.com TPM scored higher than 60%

Hell, people laughed at AOTC when I saw it. There are just so many goofy moments for people to take it seriously. Nobody made up stories...
Again, nobody booed. I don't believe you when you claim people booed because I'm looking at the hard facts here.

How can you even support and respect a man who puts out so many versions of "his" films?? You can't even see the original theatrical cuts of Episodes I and II on DVD for Christ's sake. And the way he talks to people who want the O-OT on DVD...
"They're on VHS, if anybody wants it..."
First of all, what a jackass. He KNOWS that thousands want them on DVD!!
Again, I'd like to see the O-OT on DVD, if for no other reason than achieval. But Peter Jackson put out his extended editions of LOTR on DVD, so I don't have a problem with Lucas doing it.
I have a problem with the SEs being the only versions avaibale.
