I have to go with with the 2004 DVD sets on this.

Something weird happened to me just about the time those DVDs came out.

For some strange reason I just stopped caring about what George Lucas does to these movies. I think something snapped in my head. It's like one day I woke up and just went "OK I’m not going to fight it anymore." After that I kind of enjoyed the DVDs. I thought they were a fun time to watch and for the first time sense 97 I wasn't wondering what was changed. I just sort of fell into the movies again and just watched them for fun. I hadn't done that sense I was a kid and it really changed the way I viewed the trilogy. Suddenly I just didn't care.

Now don't get me wrong I still would like to see an official release of the OT on DVD. I mean who here wouldn't but to me at least I’m actually really happy with the DVD sets that are out there. I can watch the OT on DVD if I want to but 9 times out of 10 I’ll pop in the new DVDs.

I still don't care for the Han fire thing or the ghost thing but other than that I was really complacent with the new DVDs. To me most of the changes seemed like a step toward the OT while still moving forward with GL's vision.

call me crazy...
