Dear Sir:
I recently purchased the "Special Edition" DVDs of the original Star Wars trilogy with the "bonus" discs. I am returning the "special editions"and keeping the "bonus" i.e., original versions of these classic films, which I began to watch back in 1977. At $17.87 per disc (from Amazon), I consider the deal a bargain. Please sell or give the "Special Edition" discs to someone who may appreciate them, or keep them if you like; I have no interest in them whatsoever. I believe George Lucas' artistic vision has become... clouded, shall we say, in the past few years.
"[T]o attempt to patch a faulty work into the perfection it missed at its first execution, to spend one's middle age in trying to mend the artistic sins committed and bequeathed by that different person who was oneself in youth - all this is surely vain and futile." -Aldous Huxley
Sincerely,
Henry M. Steffee
Think if enough people send in their discs, the corporate types will get the message that there's a substantial number of potential
customers who just want the original flicks?
By the way, thanx to the other forum member (I was browsing, don't remember which post it was) for finding the Huxley quote, and I
hope you don't mind my using it for my letter, I thought it was apropo.
