Quite honestly, I have zero desire to ever watch Star Wars again. I like the universe that Star Wars created and there is a lot of potential for great storytelling in there, but I don't care for any of the films or comics or novels or any of the stuff out there anymore because it's been done over and over so much and for me, Lucasfilm and Fox constantly putting out new editions every 10 years is just like Disney reprinting Bambi and Snow White over and over again and saying: "we've opened the Disney Vault again for a limited time only!" except that they keep changing stuff to the point where one day, Bambi's mom won't die anymore.
I don't get why people care about the integrity of the originals so much (even the original versions are highly flawed) but I get why people think everything could have been better and why people think Lucas is a bozo. I think enhancements can be a good thing...unfortunately, all the enhancements and additions are crap and don't add anything meaningful. The whole 6 movies (well, maybe minus ANH and ESB) should just be remade from scratch with a vastly changed story.
I just wish all the money and attention spent on Star Wars being recycled over and over would be spent on giving us other science fiction franchises that were actually decent.
