Re: This has nothing to do with Revenge of the Sith.
Dear Mr. George Lucas:
We realize you're a busy man and, what to you are, the ramblings of yet another schmuck on the Internet carries very little weight and even less priority. Mind you, if you have 45 seconds of your Lucas-Empire day to spare, I'm sure many of us would appreciate it.
First off, we hope you understand that, as the years have flown by, the only reason any of us have ever kicked up a fuss about anything Star Wars related, is because at one point or another, we became hooked on your little world and I think all of us, if given the chance, would love to simply say "Thank You" for all of the memories it has brought.
I've already used up 20 seconds, so let's speed along.
I thought we could offer you a little proposition. One of those "I'll rub your back, if you can rub mine" type things. This proposition would take a massive co-operative effort on behalf of the entire Star Wars fan base, but a proposition none the less.
I'm sure by now you are all too familiar with, and frankly probably sick of hearing about, various Star Wars fans demanding to see the release of the original SW series be released on DVD as it was released back in the 1970's. And we, as a collective Star Wars bunch, are all too familiar with your stance that those versions, in your mind, have gone the way of the Dodo. We can toss back "ownership" arguments all day... we've all heard them: "Memories belong to the People" vs. "The Movies belong to George" etc, etc. Arguing is pointless at this juncture.
And since you pretty much have the hedonistic power of being able to aquire virtually anything you want (and if not, at least make it appear on screen), there's not much that we, the viewing public, has in our possession that you could possibly want. Ever.
With The Exception Of One.... Tiny.... Thing.
George, please don't hang up on us here, but I'm talking about:
The Star Wars Holiday Special. We know, we know. You hate it. In fact, all of us do. And still, it remains.
George, we know you'd love to be rid of that horrid piece of history.
On the flipside, George, you know we'd love to have the Original version. Certainly we can compromise.
I, the writer, can only speak for myself, but I can give you solemn assurance that I would gladly, and with great pleasure, delete/erase/destroy what copies of the Star Wars Holiday special I do have in trade to see the original versions I remember when I was young. It is the only thing that we, the Star Wars fan base can offer the creator of it all. Give it some thought. We'd really appreciate it.
Congratulations on all your successes.
Signed,
All of Us.
Hahaha...I have horrific memories of all-wookie conversations (unsubtitled) and weird musical and actor cameos, all done in bad colour palette TV.
Good Proposal, made me laugh, anyway...
omg that's hilarious. Who knows, maybe he'll respond...
Where do I sign?
