They are only viewed as attrocities because Lucas has been unwaivering as of yet to release anything but these versions of the films on DVD. If he simply made the originals available at the same time with some minor film clean up then the fuss wouldn't be as bad. When putting together all 6 films and trying to make them all sync up when they were made 28 years apart of course there are going to be changes. I don't mind him trying to make everything mold together like this. And I understand that this is supposed to be the definitive version of the Star Wars Saga: The Rise, Fall and Redemption of Anakin Skywalker. It also makes sense that Lucas doesn't want to further confuse people with multiple versions floating around at the same time. There are plenty of people who would be confused. However, the originals should still be made available. If not now then somewhere down the line. There are multiple reasons to make the changes and there are many reasons to preserve the original vision. I bet if you took a poll we see that the main problem here is not the changes themselves but the disreguard for the previous work. I don't see these changes as a problem. People would still be making noise if none of these changes were made and the original films didn't mesh well with the final product - none of which we have seen yet. Additionally, this is the first time something like this has ever been tried. I say cut the guy a little slack, enjoy the DVDs and wait for him to open his eyes and release the OT. But that's just me...</blockquote>
