After way too conveniently waiting until he’d gotten everyone’s money by assuring them that he’d never release the original “Star Wars” trilogy in its original, unaltered form (meaning that they’d might as well go ahead and buy the digitally-“improved” version), George Lucas has gone back on his word.
Son of a BITCH.
Harry over at Ain’t It Cool News is gushing about how, “finally, George Lucas kicks ass and I can love him completely,” but, dammit, this just pisses me the hell off. “In response to overwhelming demand,” my fanny. Lucas looked at the books, said, “Well, looks like we need a new record to set,” and – to keep busy until the reported “Star Wars” TV series kicks off – decided to fleece his longtime fans out of a few more bucks. Oh, and did I mention that it’ll only be available for three months? After that, it goes back into the Lucasfilm Vault, alongside all the unsold “Willow” action figures.
The only thing…the ONLY thing…he can do to redeem himself in my eyes is to officially release “The Star Wars Holiday Special” on DVD.
Happy Life Day, everyone!
