OK now hold on a minute. First you come in here and post a crazy idea about filing a lawsuit against George Lucas because he's said contradictory things over the years about the OT. Now that in itself isn't bad. You're sort of on the mark with all the other crazy ideas that people here come up with. But you didn't stop there. You kept baiting people to get into this discussion with you. And instead of discussing the issue in a civilized manner, you go off and insult everyone who disagrees with you.

I don't know what kind of people you think we are here at OT.com, but we don't sit around all day thinking of ways kill George Lucas or steal his money, which we have so eagerly given him over the years. (I'm speaking in general here, I can't account for the occasional wacko such as yourself or random forum troll.)

So does it really come as a shock to you that people are treating you this way? You're bringing all this on yourself kid. Even if this whole thread was supposed to be a joke (which you failed miserably to convey it as), you clearly have an agenda that would say otherwise:

George Lucas, you're a fraud. Everything that made the Original Trilogy great was other people’s incentive. You're a talentless hack. You constantly contradict your pathetic excuses for why your prequels suck, changes to your gay special editions, and why you won't release the unraped originals respectively. I have more than enough evidence to sue your fat ass for everything you got and win. Why don’t you just admit you’re a selfish, greedy, coward? I’ll see you in court: Lucass.
If that is supposed to be a joke too, you're again failing miserably at conveying your humor to the rest of us. So why don't you lighten up a little and quit with the Lucas bashing. You're not making any friends among your fellow Star Wars fans.

The best post in this thread came from Obi Jeewhyen, which I think deserves another read:
First off, if you haven't already ... it's beyond time to get used to a good many Star Wars fans making the larger body of Star Wars fans look bad. With no offense meant to anyone here ... there are a whole lot who are so geeky, so socially misfitting, and so ultra nerdish that it could potentially be embarrassing to be associated with them via the fandom in common. We must all learn to let only ourselves embarrass ourselves, and not be remotely tarred by what anyone else does vis-a-vis their Star Wars mania.

Practice laughing at your fandom, other fandom more radical than your own, and your place along the spectrum. Watch the Triumph the Insult Dog bit until you can laugh at yourself and Star Wars fandom in general. It's healthy.



Secondly, speaking as a legal professional, there is no case to be had against George Lucas for contradictory commercial speech. You can't even sue for false advertising, though you certainly have a Better Business Bureau claim. I suppose if a zillion of us buy the upcoming DVDs, we can each claim damages of $40 and seek to get certified as a class action.

But don't hold your breath.


Your best rebuke against LucasFilm's bad faith business practices is to withhold your money from it from now on.


I intend to lead by example.

Might I recommend making a stop at dictionary.com on your further journey through the internets.

The original post, while a little silly, did have potential for a good hypothetical debate (i.e. Has Lucas become such a liar and lost so much respect for his fans that a lawsuit could be successful), but then you flipped and showed yourself to be a highly strung angry teenager.

I'm currently 'up north' and I'm not all that impressed. With the exception of Minneapolis this whole part of the world blows in my opinion, and has more than it's fair share of 'intelectually challenged' people. I was recently asked if we have farmers in England, and if we had cows and pigs (of course the answer is no - the only creatures indiginous to the UK are blue giraffes and man-eating dragons). I have never been to Alabama, but my experiences with Nanner Split have done far more for my opinion of his state than Badasskeith has.

I’m appalled by the way some people have treated me here. I know that sounds hypocritical, but listen to me. Some people here like “Blackmage” & “Nanner Split” think they’re so above me that they are too good to respond and give me these obnoxious pictures. When someone does that before giving me some rational it just makes me think of them as some people I explained above. Just like you people think I should be smart enough to generalize what is happening around me I expected you people to do the same thing with my negative comments. I’m not saying the difference between Blue States and red states is night and day, but you have to admit when your state has voted majority for a person like George Bush (or republicans in general IMO) it really makes people want to generalize. So if you’re so offended by me insulting your home state, at least say you’re not advocates of the bush administration. There is just as (well, almost) as many things wrong with the economy in my area too. My mom is a teacher for urban public schools and I know that they are not doing very well for a lot of special needs kids. The thing that bothers me is I just wish the blue states would’ve separated with the red wingers in the civil war (just kidding).

Is the reason why you people think I’m being so stupid is because I’m trying to fight against a multi-billion dollar company? Because I know it’s pathetic, but perhaps in a world of justice it could be possible. I just wish you people would help me find some good contradictory quotes from LFL to help me rally up a good defense and to just go along with this instead of having ego maniacs hammer me with criticism to ensure their feeling of superiority. I would like to also here you knowledge on lawsuit cause I don’t know much, but these days, I don’t think it matters. (Depending on how much money you’ve got.) But I have really appreciated the ones who have given me respectful responses.

I know I’m beating a dead horse and a lot of you are sick of talking about stuff like this but I was hoping I could find an audience who would still like to talk about this.

Hey mr. ego. nanner split. Since you think you're so cool why did you even take the effort to respond to me if I'm so stupid? Looks like some insecurity to me. Did my insults make you cry? I'm so sorry you little baby. Why don't you just admit the only reason you won't respond to this thread intellegently is because you're too lazy along with your other cronies to type a responce and you guys have no knowledge on laws or the constitution.

Hey "Blackmage" since you're too lazy to type anything why don't you just dig yourself and early gave and jump in. I'll refill it for you. I'd hate to see how much your family has to wait on your lazy ass.

I posted those pictures for my own enjoyment. They made me laugh. You're the one that took offense to them, so that gives the impression that you're the one with the insecurity problem.

And you're right, I don't have much knowledge on laws. But neither do you, or at least you don't seem to, when I read some of your posts. At least I know when to keep my mouth shut when I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

It's like Mark Twain said: It's better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you're a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.

And quit triple posting, noob. There is an edit function, you know.

You are not trying to insight a discussion about a lawsuit, you're baiting other forum members. I don't have time to sit here and babysit all day, so I'll give you two choices. You can either choose to come back and try again next week, or you can take your own advice and leave altogether. Until then, please note that you have been relieved of your posting abilities.

Blackmage and everyone else: give it a rest. This thread has gone way overboard.

Okay come and get me bashers I would be all for taking on a company as big as lucasfilm if they were guilty of cutting down rainforests or poisoning baby's milk, but not releasing a movie in anamporphic with nice packaging? It matters to me but does it really matter to the general population or the future of mankind? As Mierl already said, there is a possible class action suit here, and I suppose as someone who has given Lucasfilm far too much money over the years I would probably be game to sign on, but then again, nobody was holding a gun to my head when I bought all those products. I think the case is weak, and we would probably lose. You seem to think anyone but us actually cares about this stuff - a jury would laugh.

I didn't read Zion's post until after I had responded to Keith. My bad. I will now stop posting here.

I bet you live in a suburban home with your right wing ego thinking you're so fucking special and smart. You don't have a clue you faggot so why don't you shut the fuck up and go play with your xbox and your gay friends and live your spoiled sheltered life pillaging off of the working class. You lazy, clueless fuckhead.

...Hey Nanner Split's, I see you live in Alabama. One of the stupidest states in this country. The state with the most right wing and ignborant people. I bet you hate fedral taxes. Guess who pays for your fucking bridges, Highways, and police protection. Us blue states. Guys where we have the best education statistics in this country? Here in Minnesota and Massachusetts. Guess who pays the most fedral taxes and gets the least in return. And you dumb fucks pay the least and get the most because we have to cover you people's lazy, spioled, dumb asses. I hope you get shipped over to Iraq and killed you worthless peice of shit.
Here's the original:
