From
the force.net: "A little something I noticed today while browsing in Barnes & Nobles oday might be of some interest to other Star Wars fans. It's not much, but in Robert J. Emery's The Directors: Take 4, there is a chapter dedicated to George Lucas and his work. In it, George Lucas discusses his revisions to the Classic Trilogy that we are all familiar with in the Special Editions. However, at the end of that section, Lucas mentions that when the Classic Trilogy is released on DVD he will finally be able to release the films in the way he had originally intended. He doesn't come out and say it directly, but I think it is fairly safe to assume that he intends to make additional changes to the Classic Trilogy. Either way, there are some good things in this book would recommend the series to any interested in filmmaking."
I have this to say, perhaps Lucas can stop tinkering with the original trilogy that was a masterpiece and create an episode of the prequal trilogy worth watching. It seems to me no one close to Lucas has actually had the nerve to say to him, "You know George, Episodes I and II are really bad. Bad writing, bad acting, bad plot."
