   Someone else coming along making idiotic, ill-fitting changes is   
   already a fact in many other franchises which have been ruined into   
   confused and conflicting messes.

   Nope. If you really cared about the franchise then you wouldn't want it   
   to be changed ... that's what a "fan" is - FACT.   
      
   Making idiotic ill-fitting changes creates (at best) a confused mess of   
   conflicting sub-franchises and ruins the real franchise - FACT

   George Lucas is the creator of the franchise, which means he's the only   
   person who has any moral rights to make changes to it - FACT.   
      
   Besides which, pretty much nothing George Lucas did in the Prequel   
   Trilogy conflicts with the Original Trilogy. Some of it does conflict   
   with rubbish in the Expanded Universe material, which was done by   
   someone else ... so again, it's someone else sticking their over-egoed,   
   know-nothing noses into it that caused the problems - FACT.   
      
   The six movie Saga also ends with "happily ever after" and is a   
   complete story, meaning trying to tack on a third Trilogy is   
   moronically silly. Yes, you can make *other* stories within the Star   
   Wars universe, but that one is complete.
