That’s right George, I’m talking to you: Stop it.

George Lucas released all six movies in the Star Wars series Sept. 16 in Blu-ray format with “never before seen footage” and “all new special features” because we are now in the Blu-ray age of home movie watching. What else did you change in the story this time, George? And how many “once in a lifetime” chances am I going to have to own what originally were some of my favorite films of all time? Because so far, I’ve had five: the release of the trilogy on VHS, the special edition trilogy on VHS, the special edition widescreen on VHS, the DVD versions and now Blu-ray.

I am not going to buy this Blu-ray six-pack, and I don’t think any of you should either. I know you won’t listen to me, especially the diehard fans out there who will buy anything and everything Lucas puts out no matter how poorly written (every line in episode I), badly directed (Episodes I through III), badly casted (Hayden Christensen, you are awful!), and ill-conceived (the horrific mess that is the character Jar Jar Binks–can we have Boba Fett laser beam him in his obnoxious, CGI face please?).

This type of nonsense has been going on since the 1990s. I understand films need to be updated for new formats, but I don’t want the special edition–or the first three films, frankly–because they are total garbage! All the extra CGI-inserted scenes and an extra fire ring around the explosions of the Death Stars add NOTHING to the film overall. In fact, in my opinion, they detract from it.

In the new Star Wars films (Episodes I through III), every second I look at Christensen as Anakin Skywalker I feel myself becoming physically angry with his awful portrayal of the character. It’s not really his fault; he’s just a bad actor. He comes off just whiny and annoying, rather than frightening or intimidating. Besides those monstrosities, there is nothing to improve upon in the original films. The only thing Lucas should be doing is updating the original-cut films into higher definition formats. That’s it! No additional scenes, no CGI-ing in Christensen, and no Greedo shooting at Han Solo first.

All Star Wars geeks know that in the original film, Greedo is a bounty hunter that finds Solo in the cantina in the first film. Originally, Han blasts and kills Greedo in front of everyone after he realizes he’s not going to talk his way about of being captured. He then tosses the bartender some money, says, “Sorry about the mess,” and walks out in the epic, cool way that only Harrison Ford can do. It’s an awesome scene and changing it completely destroys the introduction of the character that is Han. In the beginning, he is a pirate! Not only that, he’s a space pirate! It does not get much cooler than that, and he is a BAD GUY. Space pirate, smuggler, even murderer when necessary! And that is why we love him.

Please George, for the love of cinema, of the classics, and for the love of really one of the best sci-fi stories ever told: STOP attempting to improve on perfection. All you’re doing is messing it up.
