Was the Star Wars Blu Ray set ruined by George Lucas?

It's still Star Wars. The story and characters are still all there.
Honestly it's just that old people consider Star Wars the greatest thing ever, and any change to it makes it horrible.
Star Wars was never perfect.

I think it is more the fact the changes are just really badly done, not very well thought out and mostly cosmetic.
yeah Star Wars was never perfect, but they really haven't changed much of anything to make it better. So the older generations look at what has changed and just ask, WTF would you do that? it was fine to start with! (in terms of the things they changed) Hence why all the hate...
It would be interesting to see the newer generations who have only known the "new" star wars and show them the old one and ask them if the changes really added anything.

I'm actually of the generation that grew up on the Special Edition. I was 7 when it came out, and I was able to see Star Wars in a theater the very first time I saw it. That was awesome. I was happy with it for years, but I was always curious about the original cut. I finally got a chance to see it a few years back, and was shocked at just how much tighter the pacing was; forget stuff like Han shooting first, the additional scenes took a tightly edited film and made it a meandering mess. Ever since that time, the Special Edition just doesn't interest me.

Just because I want to brag some more about my good luck, check out what I found in the basement.

Spoiler

Unaltered, original cuts of the old Trilogy. I don't need a Blu Ray player.

I actually still have those too.

Yeah so Was the Star Wars Blu Ray set ruined by George Lucas? Is it worth getting?

I bought it, Just got half way through Ep 1 though, man that is a booooooriiiing movie.

Haven't had time to watch the rest of the movies yet.

PS: I am one of those that dont really care about Lucas' constant altering of Star Wars, I don't think the movies needs the remaking, I just don't mind it all that much
