revisionist history

Last weekend , at a Star Wars convention , George Lucas came out and said that all six Star Wars films are going to be released on blu-ray HD disc. According to some reports and youtube video , fans were thrilled. then he showed what was going to be on the disc. the fans cheered again. then he told us what wasn't going to be on blu-ray. 4,5, and 6 from 77 ,80 and 83 versions that we grew and fell in love with , will not be on blu-ray. why? it would cost too much to restore them.then came the hate , the sadness , the sorrow. not from me but from stupid people. i don't know what else to call them. Lucas decided to make HIS movie the way HE envisioned it. in the mid 90's he took his first three films and restored them. while he was restoring them , he decided to make changes to certain parts of the films so when all six were completed ,no holes in the plot. then Lucas didn't release the first three til the winter of 04 on DVD six months before revenge of the sith came out. then it happened again. he messed with it again. he took out Sebastian Shaw who played Anakin in return of the Jedi and replaced him with Hayden Christensen at the end of Jedi , when Luke see the ghosts of his father , obi wan , and Yoda. some fan were oh how dare he why would he do this , blah blah blah.

i don't have a problem with people complaining when something is wrong. but in this case their wrong to complain. if he just restored a new hope , empire and Jedi , without adding this or that , then the first three would look totally out of place. and with Jedi , you can clearly see he felt anakin died as a Jedi when he became Vader. that's why he put the younger one there. and i love when people complain that Lucas sold out. he didn't sell out. he made a movie. he made six movies. and he was smart enough at the time to keep the rights to his work.to keep the merchandise rights. now i do have a problem with the new stuff and i agree with some that when Han shoots first , he shoots first. cause it looks odd now. he moves his head and greedo shoots first.that is something to complain about. with me my complaint would be the jaba. not that its a bad job , but that it doesn't add to the story. i remember seeing the original scene and it never worked.glad it was cut. but that's my only complaint. and just because you love a movie , doesn't mean YOU own it. he has every right to do what he want with his movie , and you have every right not to watch it.
