How the fucking hell does this keep happening? I mean seriously how? I'm half tempted to declare all these mistakes an elaborate conspiricy and that this man isn't the real George Lucus. I mean what other explaination can there be for the guy who made Labrinth, Willow, Indiana fucking Jones (though granted he wasn't alone on that) and god damn Star Wars (As well as a dozen other awesome things) being as completely incompetent as he has been for the past 13 years or so?
Simple. He worked with other, non-retarded people on those projects. Somehow they were able to channel his strengths. When left to his own devices, however...
I'm not kidding, either. The more behind-the-scenes documentaries you watch on Star Wars, the more you realise most of the good elements (perhaps apart from the visual design) were forced upon Lucas, or at least done without his input. ESB is a prime example; it's not a great film because of George Lucas, it's a great film because of Irvin Kershner.

OH SHIT HE ADDED ONE WHOLE WORD. GET TO THE BUNKER~!
Jokes aside, I don't see what the big deal is. It's his movie, he has the right to change it or not. If you have a problem with it go to Skywalker Ranch and hold him at gunpoint B|
I will never understand people like you. Let's go step by step.
1) I, and many others, would like a Blu-Ray release of Star Wars.
2) However, as noted in (1), we want (a) "Star Wars", not (b) something else with the name printed on the front.
3) Unfortunately, we're getting (b), so now we don't get (1).
So now you have a group of people who were looking forward to something that they're not getting anymore.
This is entirely ignoring the fact that this edit is flat-out retarded, and ruins an iconic moment of the series beyond all belief. Lucas does have a right to change things. We have a right to express our opinion of his ridiculous changes, too, so what's your problem?
