It makes me sad that a whole generation (at least, those whose parents don't care enough to bring them up on the ORIGINAL OT despite the inconvenience) will never see the beautiful films that ANH, ESB, and ROTJ once were.
And the films are *still* beautiful. Honestly, no Executive Meddling will change that. At all.
And while we're at it...*sighs* This isn't your fault; let's say I'm slightly exhausted, sleep-deprived, and I've just seen this mentality around the Internet a lot, not just STAR WARS, but other instances: not everything new is bad. CGI did not murder your family in their beds, CGI is not responsible for why most films suck nowadays, the new films do not suck (just look at BLACK SWAN, THE SOCIAL NETWORK, TRUE GRIT, TOY STORY 3, TRON LEGACY, and so on and so forth), and honestly, most of the films back then were So Bad It's Good at the very least. While we're at it, George Lucas does not deserve to die, Jake Lloyd does not deserve to become a heroin addict for playing Anakin Skywalker (especially since a lot of aspects of Anakin were *completely beyond his control*), and the prequels did *not* rape your childhood. Honestly, the only reason the prequels were hated in the first place is because "everything new sucks". Because that's the way of the Internet. If it's good, and it's new, they're guaranteed to bash it. After all, narrowminded idiocy is the way of the Internet. /end rant. I'm very sorry; I'm just not in a good mood today.
