Dear GL
Dear George Lucas,
Please, don't make this the official "Shit On GL" year. There are many people out there who love Star Wars. Young and old. Those who saw the last two are itching for a kick ass finish. And now that you've wet our appetites by putting out the first trilogy out on dvd, we can do nothing but sit and wait, and ponder how your universe is going to play out.
Now, having said all that, I also understand your need to make money. I mean, come on, who out there makes three versions of the SAME FUCKING MOVIE? At first I thought that, "hey, maybe he just wanted to redo some of the old ones so that he can really make the movies in his own image." However, if this was the case, then you'd have just put them out on VHS, calling it the special collectors edition long ago. Now I realize that, "hey, he's not just anal about detail on the way his movies are seen, but he's also a money grubbing freak and will cast just about anybody who looks good in a robe to play parts that are WAY above their talent." (Having said this, I also realize that there are a couple of good actors in all of the Star Wars movies. But seriously, Haden Christensen for the part? COME ON Lucas. HE FRIGGIN SUCKS!!! Who cares if he's a pretty boy, he CAN'T ACT.)
As much as I understand that the SW universe is really your only way to make money in the movie industry, please don't kill this "last" movie. I know my plea may come a bit late, but with the amount of money you're goiong to make from this last one and all the DVDs/VHSs that you're going to sell along with the video games and action figures and all that other shit, you can at least respect yourself by going out with a bang. Could it really be that hard to make it a GOOD movie?
Sincerly, a fan of this sci-fi shit,
