I think in the future this is how it's going to work: Lucas will want to release his versions first, and then he will release the original original after that. I think this release is a glimpse of things to come. Sure the transfer may not be totally spot on, but what transfer really is all at once? I never really hated Lucas, I just wondered why he did it this way to begin with. Did his kids really want to see what he originally had in mind or did he alter it out of spite for his ex-wife. Whatever the reason, what's done is done and in the past. I see this release as a step in the right direction for George. I think when all is said and done, he'll want to really be rembered for the O-OT.

I really think now that the O-OT will not only come out on dvd, but hd-dvd and blu-ray. I think we as the fans just need to be patient and George will come around to making the 5.1 mix for the unaltered trilogy, along with a really outstanding picture quality.
