Sure, but did we expect the father of THX to just crap out a set of Original Trilogy when we said that?

I'm looking forward to the release, one way or another. I may not agree with how Lucas has done it, but I'll buy the movies, and by the sound of it, enjoy them! It certainly sounds like they'll be great quality! And at least he's doing better then Spielberg did with E.T. ... that is he is doing a global release. I had to buy an R1 E.T. just to have the theatrical cut (though it should be noted that we get so little released on DVD anyway, even Australia gets like 4 times as many DVD's released - or more). But let's not beat about the bush, the copy I bought was the Special Edition... but on disc 2 it has the theatrical version.

So the way Lucas is releasing it as a 2-disc set, is fine really. At least he's not using seamless branching (which I really don't think would work as so much of the movies has been edited), and at least it will be a global release.
