It's precisely this attitude that has encouraged Lucas to take advantage of fan loyalty by issuing a release that isn't worthy of even the smallest independent studios.

Nobody would buy this release if it were any other movie. It would be considered unacceptable.

I'm with you 100%...but I'm not hearing any alternatives. It doesn't matter what we think about this release, or what we think Lucas thinks about this release. It's his ball. If it doesn't make him enough money, it wasn't worth it for him to release whatever crap he releases. What happens if these are released in a non-anamorphic version? Do you give up? Do you not buy? What would be proven by not purchasing this release? What will be gained? Writing and telling Lucas now that we want them in an anamorphic format is a good idea...unless they're already prepared for release and/or there isn't time to change them. So we don't buy them. Then what?? Now Lucas has all the ammunition he'd ever need to suppress the OT for good. "Sales were pathetic." No writing campaign, full-page ads, boycott, etc. will change his mind if this release flunks. In my opinion we all would lose then. I think we've made progress in just having him admit that they exist. That's the first step, but probably not the ONLY step.

When do you give up on Star Wars??... Just my opinion, BTW. All other opinions respected
