the way you carry on about how great Thunderdome is I would expect you to at least respect that others like stuff outside the narrow view of what is considered cool by interner hipsters...pthhhh
I don't understand your over-reaction. It's a joke, guy. Are you Lucas in disguise?

PEACE!
I love Thunderdome, I love the original Star Wars (Jedi is my fave!!!!!!!). I don't hate who Lucas used to be. I hate what Lucas has become in the nineties. That's it.
And you're right about the Internet BS. I like you.
I am oversensitive to this issue, Sorry Uncle Entity, I have been reading this site for years and only felt compelled to join to answer this post, Lucas does not need me to defend him, I am just so against how people who do not like certain things he did make him out to be a complete idiot when he in fact has given the world a great gift with star wars. It is just how people assume the whole world shares this opinion when in fact the majority of people actually like it. IMDB rating for Phantom Menace is 6.6 while thunderdome only gets 6.2. But guess what both of those films are my favorites, I love the Pod Race, for many of the same reasons I love fury Road, craziness and speed, and it is FUN. George Miller made all of my 4 favorite movies, but he also made Happy feet and Babe-total silly CGI stuff. George Lucas made all of my next 6 favorite films, both are great legendary artist, please just show him the respect he deserves as an INDEPENDENT artist. Sorry to get personal that is silly, it is just this site has been my last refuge of internet forums, free from that and to see it seeping in sort of alarmed me....sorry
I admit that greedo shoots first looks silly and was unnecessary, but most of the rest of the special edition stuff really does look cool and I love the Jabba in ep IV as it appears on the Blu Ray, it was terrible at first until they redid it. But most of it was done as an experiment to learn and test, and improve the CGI tech, and the whole film industry has benefitted from it, Fury Road was only possible because of the revolutionary technology that was funded and driven by George Lucas and ILM back in the 1990's.
so it is not that people who do not like it are wrong, they are fully entitled to hold an opinion, what I disagree with is the assumption that everyone agrees with that opinion, based on Blu Ray sales alone it is proof that Star Wars is much beloved, even the prequels, and seriosly if you have not seen the Clone Wars, especially season six, then really hold your judgement on what Star Wars was and became under GL, because those final episodes are some of the best thing from all of Star Wars .
Ok ive said my piece, sorry to be hostile about it.
I can sell you a set of 'lops for next to nothing.
