let me stand next to your fire

i've always tried to maintain my respect for george lucas. despite a disappointing episode 1 and an average episode 2, i'm still looking forward to revenge of the sith. i didn't mind most of the changes in the special editions, except for greedo shooting first and a few other minor changes. however, this may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. if these rumors are true, i don't know that i'll even buy star wars on dvd. these changes are apalling. i don't know why he sees the need to drag the sparkling memory of the original trilogy through the mud that is the prequels. i do like the prequels, but they're nothing next to the originals. apparently george doesn't like the new movies being considered crappy compared to the old ones, so he's decided to crappify those too. yes, crappify.
