A Jehovah Witness would say "I can't get over how much you are trying to censor our Bible".

"I can't get over how much you are trying to censor my version of the Noddy books."

"I can't get over how much you are trying to censor our version of The Sound of Music."

"I can't get over how much you are trying to control our Region Protection Control."

"I can't get over how much you are trying to limit our control of the media."

In answer to you calling my posts "trolling" and threatening to get Jay onto me, let me quote this from mverta's original posting:Originally posted by: Jay
I'm going to let this post stand for now, but it's crossing the line a bit. Why?

The 2004 editions are a completely new product. You can buy them in the store.

I thought this forum was about preservation? So does Jay. The difference between Lucas and Mverta, MeBeJedi and Zion isn't much. They all want new fresh digital effects. They all want to do it their way. The only real difference that I can see is that the end product will look different from each one.

Why don't I want all-new digital effects? Why am I happy with the imperfect originals?

Because that is how they were made. I don't want to re-paint other's work. I don't want to be given re-painted or edited work. I want to enjoy their original art. Movies, books, music, paintings - are all art. Most artists go through different artistic periods - that is if they continue to produce art. This is the case with Picasso, it is too the case with Lucas. If he had made the prequels at the time the originals were made they'd have been very different. Letting modern-day Lucas edit classic-day Lucas' work with new material is the problem, it is why we don't have the originals currently available in a home-video format.

This site was made, as far as I know, to say to Lucas "we want to see and enjoy your original, unaltered work". Lucas has seen this site. And he's decided that he wants to do it his way. He might look at these message boards and discover people don't really want to enjoy his work anyway. They all want to do it their own individual ways, separate to his original ways or his current ways.

Well, I for one do not want to see it YOUR way MeBeJedi. And I don't want to see it YOUR way either Zion. And I don't want to see it YOUR way Mverta. And if you're going to make your own version with fresh digital effects Laserman, well then I don't want to see it your way either.

In fact I don't want to see it Jay's way, I don't want to see it Spider's way, I don't want to see it Rikter's way, I don't want to see it Dr_Gonzo's way - and I don't want to see it My way either.

Would the man who made Star Wars please stand up? Please stand up.
