That's a gross generalization. I happened to love the special edition.

Just where do you get off saying that GEORGE LUCAS, the man who CREATED Star
Wars, has no right doing what he wishes with the movies? That's like saying
you can write a story, but once someone else reads it you have no right to
change it. Your opinion is complete and utter crap in itself. Maybe if you'd
open your narrow little eyes you'd see that these supposed "errors" aren't as
such at all.
As far as Luke's scream in Cloud City? He was hardly "peaceful" in the
decision, as you put it. He could either jump or be taken prisoner by Vader.
Which would you do? All the changes HAD to have been okayed by Lucas himself,
and he can do whatever he chooses with Star Wars. It's HIS. We're just lucky
enough to have been blessed with it.
