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.

This particular change is the least offensive to a lot of Star Wars geeks. Tusken Raiders are afraid of krayt dragons, and Obi-Wan was supposed to be mimicking a krayt mating call, but the original sound he made was of something else, so Lucas decided to retcon because, I mean, who doesn't know what a krayt mating call sounds like?I watched the revised version, though, and was like HEY THAT'S NOT RIGHT and it has bothered me since!
I personally just like to watch this video and then everything makes sense.

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.This particular change is the least offensive to a lot of Star Wars geeks.

Lucas has said that all of the changes made were to finally bring his original vision of the films to life, as technology wasn't advanced enough in the late 70's/early 80's, but the addition of Hayden Buttholeson, among many other changes, really tore a hole in that statement. 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.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I find it annoying too. I just talk a lot when it comes to SW, you know thatI know it's not a big dealThis particular change is the least offensive to a lot of Star Wars geeks.

I want the blu-ray edition!
There should be a new cut where not only does Greedo not get a shot off but rather than blast him, Han stabs him in the throat. I'm not being an ass either, I really think that'd be awesome!
No.
Why the hell won't that bastard make any of the post-Jedi novels into films or tv shows? My all-time favorite post is New Republic: Traitor. Just behind that is the YJK installment wherein Tenel Ka gets her arm raped off by Jacen's overpowering lightsabering.
Wow. Just wow. Also, what's NT?
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
New trilogy.
Also, Mercen-X, Lucas has said that as far as he's concerned the Star Wars films are all there is to the story. The novels, comics, games, and show are all canon, but he's pretty much done with the series as far as movies go. It's more than a safe bet that the none of the novels will ever be made into films.
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.
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.
