Have you noticed anything about George "Orwell" Lucas' behaviour the last 10 or 15 years? He is never wrong. He never changes his mind. (George Lucas doesn't change his mind. Chuck Norris changes his George Lucas.) He'll change things, sure. Do things differently. But it was always his original plan. Really. Whatever George, you keep telling youself that, just give me my stuff.
So he will never come out and say "Ok, guys, you got me. I made a mistake." He'll quietly, sheepishly make it right. (Heck, he got rid of Luke's scream in ESB, and he's STILL trying to make Greedo shoot first. But he's never said "Yeah, that was a mistake.")
Now, the day that we win BIG is when you see an "I Love the 70's" special or the Academy Awards or some such and they show the 1977 Death Star explosion. It could happen. (Maybe?)
But for crying out loud - we LIKED the LD transfers (and I still think there's more to that story, wait and see). They LOOKED like the movies. The lightsabers (for example) in the SEs looked like crap! We're getting Star Wars on DVD for the first time ever!
I'm sure it's been discussed here before, but does anyone know how the SE DVDs did? I mean, the idea of not buying a SW release would have been UNTHINKABLE for me 10 years ago. I can't be alone. I mean, even if it was a 10 or 20 percent drop from previous sales, or projected sales, or whatever?
