and mouth rape us

Okay, can we not do this? I don't care how "butchered" these films have been since 1997, let's not compare some director's editorial ego trip to an inhuman act far more people than you might realize have been subjected to. Call the SEs shitty, call Lucas a jerk, insist you'll only watch some third-hand beta tape of Empire you found in a flea market, but don't be immature and insensitive and compare it to sexual assault, no matter how metaphorical you're being.

Maybe I'd tone it down if it was Howard The Duck or Police Academy that was being destroyed, but the destruction of the OT is like blowing up Mt. Rushmore. So Lucas deserves it, and much worse things I dare not post on this thread.
