Yes, we all know those were mistakes. Did you really expect them to admit that? I think I know ONE person that actually believes it was deliberate. I fully expect them to fix this and release it in 2007 for the 30th anniversary.

Now, whether this is released as 16x9 anamorphic or not, I could care less. Some of you keep saying we "deserve" a good, quality release. I have some news for you. We don't deserve a darn thing. Lucas sees this release as just continuing to milk the franchise. The movies are done and aside from the tv show, he has nothing left to give us that will satisfy our wants. He knows that every die hard Star Wars fan will go out and buy this so they can have the original as well as the SEs. Those of us that didn't buy the 2004 DVDs *raises hand* will now have to live with both, but at least we'll be getting the original.

If I had a wishlist of what I wanted these DVDs to be, it would be completely cleaned up (no matte lines, etc), but no other changes besides that. Will we get that? I have no idea. Even if it does have matte lines, I'll be 100% satisfied. Then again, aside from an HDTV, I don't have a surround sound stereo system. I don't think that would change my mind even if I did though.
