If he does do and Ultimate Edition, won't you people just keep whining? I guess I don't understand why this is such a big deal. I guess I'm not a true fan if I'm not selfish and think that everything the director does has to be all about me. Who cares what he wants to accomplish as an artist. He shouldn't change anything because that's the way I like it, even though I didn't create it and he did. It's his child, not mine, so I should be the one to decide what should be done with it. Yeah, that seems logical to me (note the sarcasm).

Now that I've figured out that I'm arguing with a bunch of 40-50 year old cronies this is what I have to say.

1. There is nothing on the Internet about The Ultimate Edition except a possible amount of changes that I have read on TheForce.net which is not all proven and is mostly a fan's wishful thinking.
2. George has never said he was going to do an Ultimate Edition, ever. This is all fan based decreed news spread across the Internet to spread disillusion. What Lucas is going to do is actually make a series based on the time period between Ep's III and IV, the Jedi Purge, which is more believable, and more frequently mentioned on the net. There was talk of a series before TPM even started filming.
3. And if they do do an Ultimate Edition, will you continue to whine? It doesn't matter apparently because he will never release the original's on DVD. All of you should just get over it and realize that your time is over. The 70's have ended, the 80's have come and gone. Quit living in the past. The time is now. The SE's are the final versions and even if they do make an Ultimate Edition, you'll just continue to whine about how different it is from the SE's.
4. You'll buy the DVD's anyway, no matter what you say you know you won't be able to resist. The only way this could work is if you boycott buying the SW DVD's which is less likely to work then this petition. George will never even look at this site. All he cares about his finishing his creation, wether you all like it or not.
5. I actually believe myself that both version should be released together, simply for preferable reference, because one, people like you make every other SW fan look like the stupidest people on the planet, and two, because you wouldn't open your mouths and crap wouldn't come out making SE lovers like myself angry.
6. And that's all I have to say about that.

None of this is meant to offend by the way, Mr. Jay. Go ahead and delete my account if you choose. This is my final word anyway.

Being a dick is what I'm best at.

Apparently there is no getting through to your brains. George says that the SE's are the final versions, and yes they what the movies would have originally been, but there was no way he could do the things that he did in the SE back then, don't you get it? SE is the final version of the films. The Version they were supposed to be, so yes maybe he does owe you money for showing you a incomplete work for 20 years. Thats your prerogative if you further wish to show everyone you have no life and spend too much time thinking about the OT. First of all, most of you treat the SE like a set of brand new movies, they're not, they just have added scenes, that's it, scenes that George would have had in there if they had digital technology back then. Face it, the OT is gone and you'll never see it in a different format other then VHS. So you better take care of your tapes and VCR's because your whining, will solve, NOTHING. All of the arguements are based on your own selfish desires. You don't deserve respect, you're not the artist, you're the audience. I think I've said enough here, long live the Special Editions, the FINAL and BEST versions of the films.

And changing a photograph by replacing the Face of someone is far different then making the ultimate version of a movie, that you wanted it to originally be anyway. If you replace the face of your girlfriend with your wife, does that mean it was supposed to originally be her in that Photo? I don't think so.

And my final word is, that if George had been able to make these scenes to what he orginally wanted, then the OT would be the SE. So stop thinking you know all about George because you don't. He was a man who was able to finish his work and continue it, I bet he doesn't give a rats arse about how much money it makes as long as he completes the sextology.

May the Force be with you, whiners.

Well excuse me if I don't jump on the OT bandwagon. I could care less about Top 100 lists, or anything like that. What I care about is that George has achieved his ultimate goal and I praise him for it. It is true that he wouldn't be able to make prequals or even the SE without us, but without him we wouldn't have Star Wars in the first place, did you think about that? He could have kept it all to himself and not shared it with the rest of the world if he wanted too. I think he has full right to make decisions about HIS creations. After all when you paid for those movie tickets it became HIS money didn't it? The SE's are the better versions because they are what he envisioned. He gave his reasons why he wasn't able to release them that way back then because it wasn't possible. If you had bothered to watch the documentary's on the OT release in 1995, the first time it was Remastered for VHS and the SE VHS releases, both Gold and Silver Widescreen editions, you would have realized that. Wether your complaining about the added effects, or the narrative changes, they really don't effect the overall story that much. It's the exact same story, in fact. And if you really want the OT that badly, go buy it on VHS, they still sell the 1995 release versions. I've been watching these movies since I was a kid in the 80's and I've always loved them, the SE's made them that much more special for me because I actually got to see them in theatres. You people whining and carrying on like this just ruins it for every other SW fan, and you give us all a bad name.

And yes, I do have a right to talk to you like that, this isn't about who's more mature then who, its about giving George the respect he deserves. So shut your traps, you only have 50,000 out of 235,000,000 Americans, and 7 Billion world citizens, who are all potential Star wars Fans, it will get you...nowhere....period.

Hopefully you morons will shut your mouths after reading these articles. Leave the man alone, get a life. Personally he should release both the original format and special format on one DVD set, then maybe you’d all stop whining, but since he won’t do that read these articles and shut your mouths, your stupid petition won’t get you anywhere.
