I enjoyed the original movies, and I enjoyed the prequel movies. So if that's a sign of George Lucas "raping" the series, then he needs to get a boner more often.

I don't love all the new stuff, but I like a lot of it.
It's not that hard to just avoid stuff you don't like. Most people do it every day!
One of the things I find really funny about some Star Wars Critics I know personally, is that they can't open their mouths without trashing everything made since 1984, however, they watch and await every single tiny Star Wars Product that comes out like a little kid waiting for Santa Claus and buy everything the second it's available. Toys, Games, Videos... you name it. They live and breathe Star Wars.
So what is it? Do you hate it? Or do you love it but want to sound cool by bashing it. Make up your minds!
Most humans are smart enough to stop paying for something (or stop investing time in it) if they hate it. But this particular group of people seems to be masochistic.

This is why I re-found my love for Star Trek. It's been messed around with so much that I stopped caring and just started enjoying.

Most musicals made from movies are actually better than the movies. I, for one, welcome a Star Wars Musical. Don't knock musicals until you actually watch one. And no, crappy high school productions don't count. When I think about hairspray, you may have a point. However, Star Wars is more Sci-Fi and Action. The musical formula isn't gonna work. Are they gonna sing instead of a saber fight? or any other action sequence? Here's an example

Yeah I'm gonna hate this musical but I'm kinda with DP here. Lucas created Star Wars and if wants to turn it into a stinky pile of turd then that's his business. Us being fans of the series doesn't give us any ownership of it. exactly mother f***ing right

I sense another South Park rape episode in the future. Give Matt and Trey more ammo why don't you, George.

But he can't destoy his own creation. He can only modify it since anything he does changes what he created. He can only if he injects it with a lethal dose of poison..

OK, folks, Ol' Bob's gonna go an a bit of a rant here, so bear with me.
<deep breath>
Now before anyone says anything, I'm not one of the "George Lucas destroyed my childhood, wah, wah wah" Star Wars fans. However I do find his treatment of the original versions of the trilogy to be saddening. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the man, but I consider him to be incredibly selfish. The DVDs released in 2006 with the theatrical editions are proof of his pettiness about the original versions. These are glorified bootlegs. For companies like Lucasfilm and THX to be releasing non-anamorphic laserdisc transfers from 1993 on DVD in this day and age is simply not acceptable. It seems like the decision was made to put as little effort as possible into them. As someone mentioned there are plenty of fans who hate everything that's come out since the OT ended, and I'm not one of them, I actually like the prequels. Also, I don't mind 90% of the Special Edition changes. But I strongly believe that the original versions should at least get the same kind of remastering and what-not that the latest "No, THIS is how I always envisioned it, Really!" Edition. Maybe when the series comes to Blu-Ray we'll get something that has both versions. One can hope!
