Frankly, I wish the powers-that-be would just leave it up to the individual fans to decide for themselves which versions of the films are canon. Forcing "official" versions on everyone is just elitist bullshit that serves only to alienate fans.

I agree with you. I think that, especially with the prequels and SE's, just let people make up their own mind. I can't blame Disney though for wanting to retcon the EU since it gives them a lot more freedom with making their movies. I just make up my own canon and backstories, and ignore the ones I don't like; honestly, I wouldn't have anything bad to say about the prequels or SE's if I just had the OUT available in HD. All of my hate for the SE came from the fact that I couldn't have the OUT on anything but 20 year old vhs tapes.
