I tried to perform a public service and got shot down for the effort. I wrote an honest (I thought anyway) review of the Star Wars Blu ray prequel trilogy set. (I was stupid enough to buy the entire saga on Blu ray but it's alright. I have the original, un-fucked with trilogy on DVD.) Amazon wouldn't accept my critique. Here it is in it's entirety. What do you think?

This review is from: Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I - III) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
George Lucas is like the GOP. He will not apologize for anything. I get it. It's not show-art it's show business. Certain moments in time have a profound effect on an individual. That's why old people are always saying how the music and movies of their time were the best and everything now just sucks. Part of my opinion is based upon logic like that but, in truth, there was no reason to do Star Wars like Lucas did. Oh, wait. Money. I forgot. I won't go into all the things that are wrong with these movies. (For the best thing that has ever come from these movies see the Plinkett reviews at Red Letter Media. If they sold them on Blu ray I would buy them.) Until George decides to start taking his meds again and release the original (without all the stuff that people have been vomiting over) trilogy on blu ray I'm just going to continue to exist in a world free from the Star Wars prequels. I'm going to continue to ignore them. George, here's a fan boy quip: When you do release the original (un-f**ked with) trilogy on blu ray, include the Star Wars Christmas special as an Easter egg. Then, we might forgive you.

People sure get pissed over the Star Wars trilogies...I can understand the need to better ones work, but some changes they've made in the edits just look...forced and awkward. maybe it's because we spent so much of our childhood memorizing every move and line of dialogue in the futile attempts to grow up to be han solo.
