Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)
Time

Frink, everyone knows you went to clown college.

As far as the paradigm shift goes, I agree it is irreversible.  However, I am not the same person I was when I was a younger fan.  I don’t have the anger that the SE’s and prequels have redefined what I grew up with.  Sadness, maybe.  I just want a good (HD) release of the OOT and I can happily let the rest of the SW fandom have their inferior Official Original Vision of George.

Shrinking Star Wars?
Time

Yoda meeting Chewbacca.  Absolutely unnecessary.  Chewbacca.  Also absolutely unnecessary.  And of course Han Solo was featured in the rough draft of the script and some concept art was done.   To me, the idea that Lucas actually seriously considered this is a huge strike against his shrinking universe and it isn't forgiven even though he jettisoned the idea..

One idea that I would like seen looked at with a little more depth is R2 and 3PO.  Although they were introduced in the wrong places and with the wrong people, I am torn whether they should be in the prequels or not.  Lucas has stated rather early on that the story would be viewed from the eyes of the droids.  I do like this idea, but I am not sure if the prequels can be about Ben and Anakin and the droids.  I'm not sure how this all would work.
