I just tweeted it at Rian Johnson. Anyone know of any other high-profile OOT partisans within the organization?
EDIT: spelling.
I think going with the longer post, rather than the shorter one, has significantly decreased its readability and shareability. Which is a shame honestly, as it could have picked up some real heat.
Not too late now…
Why not both? Short letter in the image with a link to the long one on the site.

Excellent idea!
What time of the day were the first public screenings of the movie here in the States?
I say we give ourselves until then to make any final revisions. We could always repost to twitter (I hearted and retweeted but that was before I noticed the apostrophes).
Also, congrats on getting me to register on reddit just so I could upvote the post althor linked to.
I tweeted the current version at the Collider Jedi Council guys. I think our best hope is probably to get this picked up by someone who’s better at Twitter than we are.

Well, there’s Mark. I only bring him up because of his thoughts on the franchise over the years. He was singing the praises of “real sets” regarding TFA, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard his thoughts on the SE. He’s obviously a good friend of George’s though, so he might not feel comfortable with this even if it’s in Disney’s hands now.
Phil Tippett called the SE “bullshit” just a few years ago and still ended up working on TFA recreating the holochess. Is he on social media?
As I thought, the reddit thread is full of scumbags.
You shouldn’t link the thread directly here, though. AFAIK, that constitutes brigading and can result in deletions/bans.

Facebook comments arent much better. Lots of “get over it”.

I just loved how the very first reply in that reddit thread talks about how Kennedy said she wasn’t going to touch George’s versions when that has nothing at all to do with restoring the original versions.

To be fair, the majority of people even here seem to be dead set on interpreting it that way. Hell, poita just posted the same yesterday.
Other than that, we’re just getting the same old parroted comments about how the film is destroyed, or how Fox would never allow Disney to sell something that would make money for both parties.
All of the Facebook comments I made referencing it have been deleted. A couple of them had quite a few likes and a few positive replies.
I posted the written version below this

I’m telling you, this issue will go ignored and unaddressed by the powers that be until 2020 at the earliest.
I hope this gains some traction, though perhaps the best course is to use the short form and leave this one on the front page.
JEDIT: Is there a way to navigate to the front page anymore, or are the forums the new front page? This is most confusing.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

I am not much of a twitter user. How is it going on there? I would think if it got some attention it would be there. That is where news happens now.
Not well. Between Harmy’s post and the OT.com account’s, we’re only looking at about 115 retweets. we need to get it in the hands of someone with a following. Hello Greedo? Red Letter Media?

What about celebrities who love Star Wars? Patton Oswalt? Kevin Smith? Cant you tweet it at them and they might retweet it? Was it tweeted directly at Kathleen Kennedy, Disney, and Lucasfilm? What about Mark Hamill, Rian Johnson, or Simon Pegg? All it would take is one celebrity retweet right?
Pegg is a good idea. I already tweeted at Johnson. Are we doing the short version or what? I almost tweeted the long one at Patton Oswalt a couple hours ago but I thought it would be better with the stripped down message, should it materialize.

Kevin Smith said back in 2011 that he totally understands George looking at his films and saying they’re not finished, so he’s not exactly anti-SE in that regard.
That said, I do remember him howling with laughter on that same episode of Hollywood Babble-On when they played the clip of Vader’s “No … NOOOOOO” that had just been added to the end of RotJ.
Didn’t I say reddit was a cesspool? Cesspit? Open sewer? Something like that.
Thanks for all the effort you and others put into this, SilverWook.
Quite the embarrassment.
Why are you always such a dick? I’m tempted to switch the forum back to the original October 2015 layout just so you’ll rage-quit the site again.

Just off the top of my head, you might try these guys, although they don’t have an enormous amount of followers, but both are OOT fans:
