I ask anyone, is it worth it to boycott this release now, and then 20 years from now, the O-OT is not even talked about by newer fans. The SE will be the OT, plain & simple. I say we buy this, cause we have an obligation to future fans that they will atleast have a choice.

There will be no "newer" fans 20 years from now. Believe me, George Lucas has seen to that. Not even the originals in their greatness can withstand the changes George Lucas made to them. now they've become good films, but not great and basically forgetable. And the prequels have no lasting redeemable value either. Only geeks who are into the nerdy sci-fi aspects of the prequels and who love George Lucas' final vision of the Jedi will still hang on to these versions. It will be a pasisng fad for the most part, and a laughable one for most people who are over the age of 16.

My only worry is that the original films, which actually were great aesthetic works, and wondrous historical achievements in their time will forever be lost and destroyed by George Lucas' petty actions.
