I was planning on getting these for the principle of it, but after reading about a potential angle involving Lucas's ex-wife, I think the principle might not even be there. If the deciding factor to go ahead and make the special edition *AND* to make the OOT not exist anymore is to cut Marcia out of the payroll, then it kind of makes me or anyone else buying these things seem like a non-issue. That is, I think this edition could break sales records that will last for fifty years and it won't matter. Lucas has reasons beyond merely prefering the SE versions and thinking of them as the "definitive" versions of these movies.
