The only thing Lucas did which really pissed me off was wrecking the Greedo scene in his re-make. But you can still see the original without that so its not the end of the world.

We will have to agree to disagree. The prequels are awful movies by almost any standard. There is a fine line between light humor and insulting the intelligence of your audience, and Lucas forgot where that was in the late 80s. Additionally, Lucas demonstrated a positive genius for getting terrible performances out of great and bad actors alike with his unbelievably poorly written ham handed dialogue. Hayden christensen is so bad in those movies i think he did one or two others before his career fizzled out.
Not satisfied with producing 3 steaming piles of crap, lucas then went in and edited his original movie to their detriment.
Then he convinced speilberg that screwing around with some of his best work decades after the fact was a good idea. Ever see the digital face on ET? Another gift to the world by lucas, at least spielberg apologized for that. His disinvolvement with the star wars francise is the best thing that ever happened to it.
