This is why I could really go either way on the "Star Wars" vs "ANH" issue. Seeing Star Wars as it actually was in '77 would be amazing, but that really cuts out the prequels if I wanted to do a true saga marathon (PT and the O-OT). On the other hand, letting the absence of an Episode number and subtitle slide isn't all that hard even if I were to watch all 6 films.
Like I said, people didn't get anywhere near as pissed with the addition of "ANH" as they did with all the SE changes. It is an alteration, yes, but from what I hear there were many other alterations made between the original theatrical releases of the movies and their SE releases. That is why, as far as I'm concerned, the O-OT is any release of the movies before '97, and there are many.
