It's a week today that the original Star Wars trilogy comes out for the first time on DVD. I have mixed feelings, although I believe they're leaning more toward the negative than the positive.

From early reports, George "Fuck The Fans" Lucas has apparently made some more changes to the films -- over and above what he did in 1997 with the Special Editions. I don't necessarily have a problem with him making modifications to the movies, but only so long as he releases the original unaltered movies as well. Shit, I'd buy both versions. Hell, I'm a regular retarded Star Wars lemming. Release the original dirtied cut, the cleaned-up THX cut, the Special Edition and the new edition and I'd probably buy them all. That's what kind of idiot I am. I love my Star Wars.

However, that love is disappearing more and more each day. The prequel movies have been satisfactory, in my opinion, even if there were some dumbass things in them. But Lucas just pisses me off more and more, and I find myself becoming an ex-Star Wars fan.

Wait another couple of years and I'll probably learn to despise the films -- unaltered original trilogy and all.
