I know, right? These blu-rays will KILL US OFF THIS TERRIBLE PLANET.
Maybe not that extreme. But we'll never see the OUT in the quality it deserves. The damage has been done. They were already deteriorating when GL started making the SE, and 20 more years' worth of damage has been done to these movies. It pisses me off that of all the Blu-rays that will be released in the coming years, the OUT will never be there. We shouldn't resort to preserving these films ourselves, something every film studio has done to all movies that have survived to this day, but LFL ignores because they can't tell they are making a new movie every few years based on the OT, and telling people it is SW, and saying you can go fuck yourself if you don't agree with GL. It's like watching your children slowly die of cancer. I know some of you are going to be upset about that, but that is roughly what is happening to these movies. The quality of these Blu-rays is utter shit and no one can say that because LFL has a gun to their head and telling them to say only good things about this release. Did anyone expect this nightmare scenario 25 years ago? No. No one seems to understand this: I wouldn't be so upset here, on this website, if GL had done the proper work in the first place fuck up the OT with all these SE changes ... Deleted... And he continues to show no remorse.
I don't really agree agree with his decisions, but I don't want him to die....
He does it because people will buy it. Simple as that.
Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.

Because f**k you, that's why.
That made me laugh pretty hard. That would sum up a lot...
And actually, George Lucas dying MIGHT actually be a good thing. I mean, I try not to wish death upon people, but it wouldn't hurt. I think he's the reason the OUT isn't being released; if the tyrant dies, then the other people might think, "Why the hell not? Sheesh..." and release them finally, without GL stopping them.

I would hope Lucas has his "Noo...NOOOOOO!!!" moment and casts off his greedy, egomaniacal demons before he leaves the world. Maybe in some years he'll have a change of heart and realize he was a bloody fool. I don't want anybody to die for my personal benefit, though.
But, in considering the SW property, let's all remember that Lucas owns SW, and when he passes on he'll make all the necessary legal arrangements to prevent the UOT from being released by ANYONE. If his daughter Katie really will inherit the LFL empire, then it will only be tougher for UOT enthusiasts. She is her father's daughter and fanboy hate will only increase her resolve to not release the UOT.

If only Mel Brooks made silly CGI changes to Spaceballs every couple of years to spoof what George is doing. ;)

Having lost a loved one to cancer, I can't help but find your analogy a little bit distasteful. There are better ways to make a point.

By my rough estimation, 7.4 out of 8.7 frevious posts are distasteful. It's like listening to a teenager moan about how awful life is because of a hangnail. Except the teenager says the hangnail is worse than cancer. Or Hitler. Or rape. Or {fill in wildly inappropriate comparison here}.

Well, if he does something like that, then we'll know for sure that he's not just doing this crap because of a neurosis or anything. We'll know he's just being an asshole, because that would be a bigger dick move than simply refusing to release them while he's alive.

Is losing three films comparable to a hangnail? And I don't want Lucas to actually die; I was only venting my frustrations at him. And I'm 25, not a teenager.

Then act your age.
On a scale of hangnail to cancer, the Star Wars films are much closer to a hangnail.
Seriously, stop giving us a bad name around the rest of the 'net.
because no ammount of technology or cgi can fix what is inherantly wrong with the prequals, so he has to dumb the original trilogy down.
I wonder if he truly thinks that the prequal movies are the superior trilogy?
Obviously they are more in line with his 'vision'

Were still losing the films; I can deal with the prequels existing, they are just bad movies. But destroying films because one has a vision to continually update them? Why do I get the feeling the Frink would just laugh off the worst tragedies in human history? A loss is still a loss, how in the hell is that insignificant?

Yes, I think he actually considers the prequels to be the superior films. Young George Lucas would never have thought so. But he is not alone; I think Peter Travers from Rolling Stone said that ROTS was the second best film in the "saga" next to ESB!

You must be trolling now because you can't possibly be this clueless.
Cancer, rape, torture, genocide...these are all tragedies and I do not laugh at any of them. Star Wars is a tragedy in a certain sense, but compared to these other things, it is merely a movie.
Incidentally, what's the worst thing that ever happened to you? And you can't answer anything having to do with Star Wars because your judgment is clearly warped in that case. Who is the closest person to you to have died? What is the worst thing that has happened to someone close to you?
My wife and I had a tragedy once. And if you think what has happened to Star Wars is even one-tenth of one percent as horrible as what happened to us, well...you are a sad, sad person.
Honestly, I'd rather deal with a hundred Lucas gushers than one of you.

I hope some warnings have been given out with some of the recent outbursts on this thread.
Raping a memory, an environment or a cultural artifact is a valid statement (it may be incendiary but the word has uses beyond more common sexual and legal usage).
But salacious innuendo implying that Mr Lucas has abused his children is not only sick but from all accounts a total inversion of the truth.
This site and these forums were designed to right a wrong not wrong a father and a family.

It may be correct from a dictionary definition standpoint but its use is wholly unnecessary and distasteful in my opinion.
