Which won't happen until Lucas is dead. Did you check out the other
interview at CNN.com?

http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movi....ap/index.html

"The special edition, that's the one I wanted out there. The other
movie,
it's on VHS, if anybody wants it. ..."

"I'm not going to spend the, we're talking millions of dollars here, the
money and the time to refurbish that, because to me, it doesn't really
exist anymore. It's like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I'm
sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it. But I want
it to be the way I want it to be."

Translation: I'm rich, bitch! So I'm going to spend millions updating
my earliest feature film and all you SW fans can suck my lightsaber.

Well, **** this. For the rest of my life, no matter how much PR or
advertising he puts into this bullshit, I am never, ever buying any Star
Wars related items or merchandice ever again. Give me the original,
untouched, un****ed with version that I can find on ebay anyday.

Biting your nose off to spite your face has never been more obvious. Continue
losing, dipshit.

You hole wipers really don't have a lfe do you. Star Wars is a movie,
Ace - Only a movie. Get a life - even going out and exposing yourself to
small children in the park is better than obsessing about a fourth rate
kiddy film.

It won't even happen after he's dead: he butchered the original negatives to
create this latest version.

Or attacking people you don't know in film-related newsgroups in order to
compensate for your own lack of self-worth.
