People ragging on George Lucas has always bothered me for one main reason. You say he's destroying the OT. Did you forget that he created the OT? Everything that happened in those movies was his idea. Maybe at the time he didn't have the technology to have certain special effects, or after making the prequels he realized something he forgot or decided to update something to better reflect his vision. My point is he is making these updates to make the movies how HE wants them to be and since he created them, he cannot be wrong.
Believe me, there are one or two updates that I'm not crazy about, but I don't get all whiny and say I'm not going to buy my favorite movie set in the best video format to date. Are you really going to avoid seeing these films which you are obviously passionate about in HD, all because of an additional word that will affect about 2 second of a 2+ hour movie? Get real.
