Lets just say for a minute that Lucas decides to put out the O-OT on DVD next year, and everyone (mostly) on this website and most older fans will finally have what they have wanted for the last 8 years. For me personally, that will finally be closure of Star Wars for me, I wouldn't care about another release, or the 6 box set, the ultra editions, the super duper editions, it would mark the end of my support for Star Wars. I finally have what I want, and that is it.

Will the PT fans, who love those movies now, support it 10 years from now when Lucas does the 35th or 40th anniversary release like we did. Will the 3 prequel movies hold up, where those fans still love them like we did the original 3 films to this day?

This is not to belittle the PT fans, but 'I have a bad feeling' that the PT won't pass the test of time like the OT, and they may not be as loyal as we were for the past 28 years. Now of course there are fans of the PT that will always love Star Wars, and always love all 6, and that will be a substantial base, but will it be able to carry a re-release 10 years from now to record numbers like the 97 SE did?

I just feel that many, not all PT fans enjoy the effects of the new movies, and in 10 years, those effects will feel like something of the past, and many fans will move on to something more cutting edge. Now as I said, there are some who love the story, and I feel they will stay with the saga forever, just like us.

Just wondering.....
