Fuck Lucas, Fuck Him Right In The Ear
Well, you've probably already heard about it but I didn't until just now. The story broke on The Digital Bits and on Video Business Online on 17 May and 23 May respectively. (Ain't It Cool News also did something on it but I can't stand the gimboids so fuck giving them a link.) To sum up, George has decided not to give us the cleaned versions of the original trilogy but to give us some rips off of old laserdiscs. And they're being thrown out as bonus content with the "Special Edition" versions (more like Special Olympic versions). The wacky reason given is that they have basically lost the cleaned version as they were "taped over" for the new editions. Evidently Lucasarts can't afford a decent hard drive. Anyway, I think that this was the last straw with me and them and if they don't change their minds or reveal this as some sort of fucked up prank then I will have to declare a 10 foot Anti-Star Wars Zone around me at all times. It won't actually ever make a dent in the flood of cash that pours into Lucas' coffers but I'll be taking a stand nonetheless.
On a completely different note, I have the most horrible feeling I'll be seeing a lot of this sort of thing at A-Kon this weekend. And they laughed when I predicted that I would be spending a lot of time in the pool just to escape...
