I also think its a bit pathetic to let fans get to him. Kind of defeats his whole saying earlier of "its my movies" But in the same sense I can also emphathize with him on this. Star Wars fans are the worst fans in the world imo. ONLY bitching from them. I mean does an Ewok blinking really mean the end of the world. Does making the planet aleraan blowing up look more realist ruin life. Does adding an actor who was in 3 other movies versus a guy who we barely saw part of his face make the movie unwatchable. Hell only bad things imo in the series for me was the "NOOOOOOOOOOO" and a few of the kid anakins lines in the first movie. Otherwise I'm pretty golden on the rest. If these die hard fans love the original so much, then dust off your vhs and put in your original copy. If you don't have one, then be a real star wars fan and fork over the cash for one. |
Your ignoring that some of his changes to the original movies alters the tone of the movies and changes the characters ... Consider adding Jabba the Hutt and Han shooting second in Episode 4: A New Hope
What people should learn from George Lucas' experience with Star Wars is that it is a terrible idea to modify iconic movies after they have been released, and it is a really bad idea to create sequels/prequels to movies after decades have passed because it is likely that you're in a very different mindset than when you made the original movie(s) and your fans are (probably) in a very different mindset than when they viewed the original movies. The movies aren't going to match up with the originals, your fans are going to be disappointed and probably quite angry.
Another example of this is Indiana Jones 4 ...
If you're on a quest for more money, start over and do something different that stands on its own ...
