Fans launch a criminal investigation against Lucas for "raping their childhoods." Or if they haven't yet, I'm surprised.
Lucas should copyright his name so he gets a residual every time someone uses it. He'd make more money off that than anything else in his career.

Whenever I think of all the shit Lucas says, all the arrogance and outright stuppidity he expresses, and see his crappy movies--everything after EMPIRE, with the exceptions of a few parts of SITH--I loathe him as I would a crack dealer for filling the lives of so many with such worthless, life-avoiding shit. Then I consider his first three movies, and his great talent, and remember why I just can`t hate him for more than a few seconds, because he is a freaking genius who just lost his way when he could have been Orson Welles with mainstream success. I just can`t dismiss the quality of his first 3 directorial efforts, they are masterpieces. When I see this trailer, I wish everyone over 13 who dresses up like Star Trek or Star Wars people should be required to use only actjal working weapons at conventions, and the bunch of retards would wipe each other out in a weekend. I`d rather watch Rosie O`Donnell eat three buckets of KFC Extra Greasy without the assistance of napkins than see this movie. WORD!

George Lucas keeps saying these are basically children`s movies, and you know who I`ve never heard bitching about these movies? Children, their intended audience. You know who can never STFU about what Lucas does to his own creations? Chronologically-adult males who should have learned long ago that these are entertainments for summer movie nights when they were kids, and maybe occassional revisits over the years, after they have grown up and moved on from childish junkfood diets of escapism and moved on to literature, higher forms of film art, and music, and realistic adult interactions with the world and entertainment products. if my dad ever went on and on because they were colorizing a Flash Gordon short or something, my mom would have had him committed. Nowadays, someone who treats this stuff as the kids`s stuff it is is considered heartless; in the past they`d be considered an ordinary adult of average maturity who has a grip on reality.

I think 98% of the changes are kinda dumb, but it's not because I'm a "NO CHANGES EVER" film purist, but simply because I find the changes were unnecessary and don't really work (and the CGI is, in all honesty, pretty cartoonish). But I just don't buy them; the last real copies I have are on VHS. The theatrical cuts will come out in acceptable quality eventually either on Blu-Ray or some other format, and until then there are lots of other movies to watch and things to do.

I think it's less that, and more people who act needlessly stuck-up and give their opinion more weight than it deserves. Better grips on reality needed all around, seemingly.

This thing writes itself.
I don't think Zoe Saldana would be on board, though. She's never struck me as the embittered type, nor one inclined to schadenfreude. I'd be impressed if she could stomach more than a few lines of the dialogue.
