Our friend Cameron from Den of Geek is the latest to take up the mantle of George Lucas defender in the wake of all the Blu-ray "No-Gate" hoopla. Here's a snippet...
"So now fans are venting their ill-thought out and insensitive ramblings at George Lucas once more, for his decision to add a few blinking Ewoks and some slightly different noises. That's what it boils down to. If the person who created this world wants to change fairly superficial elements of his films, then no one is fit to question this. Sure, you may not like it, but firing off illiterate abuse at a man who has proven himself as a filmmaker is the mark of a bitter teenager. It's unseemly behaviour.
Money is often the reason why these people think Lucas makes these changes. I mean, money? Seriously? Are you aware of just how much this man is worth? Not to mention owns? Do you realise how much he'll actually make out of this release? The profits from the Blu-ray set will be nothing to him, especially as a considerable amount of money has already been spent on producing the set.
Lucas makes these changes because he wants to. I have no issues with the changes; they are, as I say, superficial. The stories are exactly the same. If you want the original, unaltered films, then they are out there. If you're a fan, you've probably got them already - and in more than one format. Do you really need a Blu-ray version of a film you've seen hundreds of times? Really? (The answer, in my opinion, is no.)"
