I'm not even sure it's a case of wanting money, if he made the original editions available in any way he'd rake it in after all. I just think it's some OCD-type thing he's got with the whole series and never being totally satisfied.

I know it's not a big deal :( I watched the revised version, though, and was like HEY THAT'S NOT RIGHT and it has bothered me since!Quote:

I like the version where they replace everyone with ewoks and all the guns with walkie talkies.
Speak for yourself, I haven't purchased anything Star Wars in years.Quote:

Doesn't hold up, and he's doing the exact same thing with the 3D releases of the NT. Dude just likes making money, and we're all stupid enough to keep giving it to him.
Assuming Lego and Lightsabers count then I have bought Star Wars stuff in recent years. But movies? Last ones I bought were the re-releases that did have older cuts of the original trilogy in addition to the special editions. I don't even own the new trilogy.Quote:

The Timothy Zahn trilogy would have been perfect for a new film series, way better than the troutty prequel trilogy. But no. Lucas had to write his own, crappy original story. :colbert:
Lucas needs to be entombed.
The Expanded Universe is generally better than the prequel trilogy in every conceivable way
Crimson Empire, YJK, NJO, hell even Dark Forces, Shadows of the Empire, and Force Unleashed are all better than IIIIII.
If Lucas decides to release updates of the prequels that remove Binx, fix Jake Lloyd's, Hayden Christianson's, and Natalie Portman's horrendous acting (though Ewan McGregor also had some moments that made me grin for the wrong reasons)... it's possible that I'd buy those. The original trilogy which we now own on DVD, we own strictly because our vhs copies went to shight.
I think the thing I understand the least about this change is, why wouldn't they remove Ben Kenobi and put in Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan? I mean, if you're going for their "young person" actor.
Probably just has to do with him returning to the Light side and that was his last form as a Jedi. Obi Wan never went bad. Or something, I don't know. That man is on crack.Quote:
