I guess the big thing for [I'm assuming] a lot of us is that we'll wait to hear some reviews from people we respect before we rush out like fools and buy up every copy. That's what I plan to do, knowing their penchant for "tweaking" things.
I love that idea of sending the SE discs back to Lucasfilm, too. Gotta admit, though, they're marketing geniuses. Seems like they want people to compare the two versions and hope to demonstrate how "superior" the SE versions are to the O-OT ones. It's like they're still pushing the movies to the newer generation that relies more on flash, and trying to shut up the older fans by giving us what we've wanted for many years. At any rate, I hope it all works out well.
Lucas certainly is a tough guy to figure out. I can understand the feeling of things not being good enough as I feel it sometimes when I'm drawing. But I know when enough is enough, whereas, until the day he dies, he won't be satisfied with any of the six Star Wars movies. People are so wary of anything he does now, especially when it comes to the Star Wars franchise, thinking "oh boy, what nonsense is he gonna add to it now?"
The SEs could have been outstanding, but it's kinda sad that the video game franchise gets more respect than the movies they're ultimately based on.
