I really dont understand this anger towards GL. He bloody WROTE Star Wars. He made it up. He produced them ALL independently (which I have to add is next to impossible in those days, and absolutely impossible these days. Its a miracle those movies EVER got made. So with that fact alone he should be given the highest respect possible). He picked the stars for the original. Let alone all the stuff he's done for film making.
So, they're his movies. He can do what he wants with them. I understand that things have changed and that ep1-3 are radically different from ep4-6, but so what? They're supposed to be like flash gordon. Supposed to be corny. Not taken seriously.
Seriously folks, they're just movies. Thats all. Plain and simple.
The new trilogy doesent tarnish anything with the old trilogy. His changes to the old trilogy dont change it at all in any way as well. If you hate the changes, dont go out and buy the copies that have em. Go buy the originals on Laser disc or vhs. Cripes, they're still around.
But this whole thing that GL is destroying Star Wars is just plain stupid. If anything, its the fanboys who have taken it so far to make it next to godly, thats destroying it. In the 80's it was cool to like star wars. Now its cool to hate the new ones. Bah. People just take it too far.
Its that whole l337 thing I guess. Meh.
