This is like a nightmare. Laserdisk rips?!! Neil was right all along?!! I can't believe it. Even with a fraction of the profits taken from increased sales due to the "bonus disks", Lucasfilm could easilly afford to make a proper representation of the original film on DVD. How could they do this?!!!

This is pure evil.

We are now talking about the criminal neglect of one of the most influencial and historically important films in cinema history. To hell with Lucas's "vision." To hell with profit margins and sales quota. To firey hell with it all.

This is about preservation of HISTORY, and Lucas is trying to bury it in light of his rewritten version. Our culture's most provocational film is in jeopardy and if we quiet our voices, these movies will die.

Exactly. I'm wondering if legal action is the best course to take at this point. Have non-Lucasfilm-funded preservation projects begun or something. George Lucas is now totally insane. It may be horrible to say this, but the day he finally dies may be the day Star Wars in its original form will be saved. Makes me sick to think about.
