Star Wars

[Clueless Morgan]

I suppose I'm more of a casual fan and not a die hard one.

Same here.

I'm a casual fan but was introduced to the extended canon by a coworker who was an uber-fan; I think he had a podcast that he and a friend of his did where they reviewed the books. I am offended on behalf of him and the other super fans when Lucas monkeys with the films.

George Lucas needs to stop fucking with Star Wars. This constant updating and "fixing" shit needs to stop.

I appreciated some of the "fixes" that Lucas did when he went through and updated some of the scenes back when he first did it; when he fixed the smudging out the wheels on Luke's speeder and CGIing windows in Cloud City and a couple things like that because it added ambiance or updated what they couldn't do with SFX in the 70s.

But I'm largely on board with the "stop fucking with them" crowd, especially when they CGI'd Hayden Christensen into RotJ as Anaken.

That being said, I do not have high hopes for the new movie, and the prequels have left me bitter. Unless I'm really wowed by previews, I probably won't see it.

I'll see them in theaters once, not on opening weekend, though.
