They guy is a self labeled Machiavellian dictator over his films. He admits he's a stubborn ass and wants things his own way, but says he won't apologize.

 

Why should he?

 

Because we put him on the map, without our money he'd be nothing. Also, he's treating us like 2nd class citizens.

Amen. It's time to vote with our wallets and stop giving this tyrant the funds to stroke his massive ego. I say we we rip everything he does from the internet and give it away for free on street corners. Don't buy that $200 Millennium Falcon from Hasbro, no matter how cool it looks - break it in the shop so no one can buy it!

Explain to your kids why you now hate George Lucas and by extension Star Wars so much. My little brothers like the PT until I challenged their perception. Kids aren't that stupid. All they need is guidance. Now my brothers see the trumped-up, firework display of a toy advertisement those movies are. They too are disgusted that Greedo now shoots first. Lets educate this new generation instead of creating new little cash drones for Lucas to feed on. Lets take back the history books and fill in some truth.

Best case scenario? I hate to say it but the only way we are ever going to get a remastered OOT set is if ol' George finally has that diabetic stroke he's been working on so well for the last 20 years and dies, making way for some people on the ranch to grow some balls and give us all the movies that made us fans in the first place.

I know this sounds harsh but Lucas has been behaving like a stubborn, spoiled and petulant child in regards to our beloved OOT. He has insulated himself from the fan community and surrounded himself with yes-men. He know full well that the reason the first trilogy were so successful was that they were a collaborative product being the result of many critical viewpoints and that still stings The Beard. His ego cannot allow this.

I for one will not have my memories held for ransom by a despot.  Vote with your wallet and forgo anything Star Wars related until George has no option but to do some serious soul-searching, discover what he has become and atone for his sins.
