[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 1306629, member: 1015"] Ah well, that's where we'll have to disagree. I was satisfied for the most part with the Special Editions back in '97. Granted, I could have done without Greedo shooting first, but I wasn't going to let it ruin my entire opinion of the Special Editions and claim that George Lucas was raping my childhood. I don't think it was such a bad call. You stated that most Star Wars fans would rather see the Original Editions rather than the Special Editions on DVD. I've never seen any evidence to support your claim (and before you ask, no, I haven't seen any evidence to say that most people would rather see the Special Editions on DVD), and was wondering if you could back it up in any way. My point (that it's become fashionable to hate George Lucas) is supported by newspaper and magazine articles, comedies like South Park and the Simpsons, and late night talk show monologues over the past 5 years. The internet also supports my point, but the internet on a whole tends to be a very pessimistic place so I didn't list it among the others. When The Phantom Menace came out, intital reviews started saying things like "It was good, but not as good as I'd hoped it would be" and "It was kind of a letdown." Pretty soon, you couldn't attend any sizable gathering of Star Wars fans without hearing comments like "Lucas raped my childhood!" and "He's lost it. He should hand over the prequels to somebody else." Even non-genre fans can crack jokes about George Lucas and get laughs from other non-genre fans. [/QUOTE]
