When news broke a few weeks ago that George Lucas was reediting the "Star Wars" films yet again, this time for their first release on Blu-ray, nerds everywhere reacted with collective outrage. "You can't add Darth Vader screaming "Nooooo!" to the end of "Return of the Jedi!" they cried. "We don't want Ewoks that blink!" they howled. But complaining about the fact that George Lucas continues to change "Star Wars" is like complaining that the sun goes down at night. No matter what you say, no matter how much you point out that he's kind of a hypocrite, Lucas is going to keep doing what he wants. And what he wants is to continue tweaking hos beloved science-fiction saga until the day he dies. At this point, the Wikipedia page devoted to listing the changes in each successive rerelease of "Star Wars" is over 10,000 words long. I'm sure someday it'll be twice that.
