Here's what I'll be sending:
Dear Mr. Ward,
I was very excited about the news regarding the September release of the Original-Original Trilogy (it sounds funny saying that out-loud) on DVD, and I have already gone around spreading this good news to my friends who honestly didn't believe me when I told them about it. As you can imagine, their jaws dropped and they were speechless when I told them I wasn't joking. What can I say? We're a bunch of Star Wars fanatics and we thought it would be a cold day on planet Mercury before we ever saw a high-quality, official DVD release of the Original-Original Trilogy. Shortly after this fantastic news hit, there was speculation on the net that Lucasfilm would merely put 13 year old laserdisc masters onto these highly anticipated dvds. I said this idea was ridiculous because Lucasfilm is synonymous with quality and to think otherwise would be silly. Surely some sort of restored film master from 1993 was being used, and not a dated video master from the same year. Unfortunately, these rumors have apparently been confirmed by the highly respected website, The Digital Bits. A part of me still doesn't believe it and is waiting for The Digital Bits to correct their erroneous report.
I know it might sound silly, but the Star Wars films are very important to me. I'll spare you my life story, but I will tell you that the original versions of the classic trilogy provided the perfect escape for me during one of the hardest times in life. I am forever grateful to George Lucas for his creation and I'll always consider him a genius. Even if I don't buy the September release due to its' low quality, I will no doubt remain enthusiastic regarding the Star Wars universe. Hopefully at some point the original versions of the original trilogy will be given a high quality video release, but until then, I cannot easily justify spending money on a low-quality product which is no better than what I already own. Despite it all, I'm still glad that the original versions will finally find their way to dvd this September. It's just very unfortunate that this will be a bittersweet experience for so many loyal and dedicated fans.
Sincerely,
*signed*
