May 2004: after returning from a Casino trip in which I won $200, I read the offical announcement that the films were going to be destroyed for the 2004 DVDs. Promptly registered for Ebay for the sole purpose of obtaining a THX '95 Widescreen VHS set.
July 2004: hires a friend of my uncle whos in the DVD burning business to copy the VHS to DVD, but the Discs end up glitching and failing very quickly.

March 2006: purchaces OCP's classic editions.
May 2006: reserves Official O.O.T set of Return of the Jedi only, but canceling it until I get some screenshots and clarification on the quality.
June 2006(yet to come): with all 6 movies on DVD, I am free to establish my routine of celebrating the anniversary of the firing of three very mean former teachers of mine:

4 days before: Attack of the clones
3 days before: Revenge of the Sith
2 days before: A New Hope(OCP)
1 day before: The Empire Strikes back (official DVD)
the day itself: Return of the Jedi(OCP), Followed immediately by the "Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria" Segment of Walt Disney's "Fantasia"
