It's like "Oooh, everybody's favourite character has to be a good guy from the beginning to the end... He wouldn't shoot without it being self-defense". Lucas is such a fucking idiot. That's mind-blowing the capacity he has to misunderstand so radically what is good about the movie he made, a long time ago. Every time he does something nowadays, it's ruining a part of what made Star Wars so good. | ||

I don't have a copy of the original. They were not even released on DVD without the ten billion shit he added. So, yeah, I care. | ||

Those were the times. You could also look for the 1080p upscaled HDTV version made by "ATOM". No "Nooooo's" in there, except for where they belong. Hahaha! So ironic--> http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2011/09/george-lucass-1988-speech-about-preservi.php | ||

You are aware of course that there's been a 2008 DVD edition of original, unaltered Star Wars episodes IV-VI? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Original_unaltered_trilogy_(DVD) Not the best quality but still better than VHS. | ||

As the review from redlettermedia said perfectly "he is a business man first and a film-maker second and I wont say he is a bad business man." Where I feel he lost his soul is purely conjecture. Is he a good businessman or did he just make one good business decision in his life that made him a billionaire? (attaining the merchandising rights for Star Wars) Releasing both the originals and edited versions on DVD and Blu-ray would be good business. It would be milking the franchise to its fullest extent, but it'd work, as more copies would be bought. Yet he doesn't do it. I think its always been more about ego for Lucas then business sense. He lost interest in filmmaking as an art and became obsessed with the technology side of it, hence the prequels. He resented the reaction the prequels got from the majority of fans and that's affected his attitude towards them. I feel like his refusal to release the unedited originals on DVD or Blu-ray has a lot to do with that. Spielberg was able to throw up his hands and step back. Fans reacted quite badly to the changes he made to ET, but he acknowledged their viewpoint rather then just dismissing them as angry 30-something basement dwellers. Certainly hasnt made him any less rich. | ||

Also, i dont get the hate about Phantom of Menace, i liked it. I thought it had some cool stuff even though the characters were a bit boring. People always think they know better, but they probably dont. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Oh, and to that review that constantly complained about plot holes and such in phantom - watch IV V and VI - FULL of plot holes and things that dont make sense, talk about bias O.o People are overrating the early movies soooo much. You can easily get the original versions on DVD anyways, so there really is no reason to care that much. | ||
