George Lucas has a message for those Star Wars fans who were stupid enough to buy the "special edition" DVDs

That message is...thanks, suckers!
In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie and, as bonus material, the theatrical edition of the film. That means you'll be able to enjoy Star Wars as it first appeared in 1977, Empire in 1980, and Jedi in 1983.

I know we can't, but...can we please retire the "George Lucas, Mythmaker" falsehoods now? He's a cynic who doesn't care about anything except separating as much money from your wallet as he can, as many times as he can.

I blame Bill Moyers for the mythmaker myth . . .

There's no doubt he helped spread it, but I don't think we can pin all the blame on Moyers.
