by buying these dvds you approve what Lucas is doing to the movies, so yes, you're a traitor...

(by the way i haven't bought the 2004 dvds nor episode 3 and i have resold I and II)

Unfortunately he has a monopoly on us, and that is the way it goes. As much as I bitch and complain about the SE, I still can enjoy the movies cause he didn't change that much of the movie. I think that Lucas is full of shit when he said that we fell in love with a 25% finished movie, cause he changed maybe 10% of it. Would I kill for the O-OT on DVD, of course I would, but I have watched the DVDs over 10 times each cause of the love I have for these movies, and I have a bootleg of the O-OT, and the quality just isn't there that it is worth it to watch it.

I mean, the problem with DVD's and CD's, is once you experience better quality of something, you never want to go back. Who the hell would still want their favorite bands on cassette tape, when CD's are superior quality? It is the same with DVD, and widesceen too. 10 years ago I didn't know why the hell on SciFi they would show these movies with these black bars, to me they were annoying. Now that I came to understand widescreen, and how the movies all these years on VHS were getting cropped, I can never watch a pan-scan movie ever again.

If you guys want to call me a traitor for enjoying the SE 2004 DVD's, so be it, but again, there are so many minor changes to ESB that it is practically the same movie. I mean with the new wampa, the new Emperor dialogue, and the enhanced Cloud City visuals, and Vader going to his ship, it is the same movie from the O-OT. Now the original SW I get annoyed with Han shooting first, and really get annoyed with Hayden in ROTJ, and that stupid song in Jabbas palace, but I still enjoy the movies, and sorry if that bothers you guys.

Would I kill for the O-OT on DVD, I wouldn't be here if I didn't, but I gonna be honest with you guys that the changes suck, but it doesn't ruin the movies for me, it just isn't as good as the O-OT.
