Isn't it Lucas' or Fox' job to preserve the OOT the way they were originally? Why should all fans invest into this preservation project? I sure as hell don't feel responsible to the degree that I 'have' to buy a 2nd set of the 2004 SE just to obtain the OOT in sub-standard, below-par quality that even George himself wouldn't stick his THX quality mark on?
Remember the Episode 1 VHS-release?
According to Lucas at the time, the DVD format had it's quality issues and he didn't want to release it on DVD but instead wait until a better, higher quality format would come along.
But something changed his mind. Some 6-12 mounths later Episode I finally did see a DVD release.
With this in mind I'd like to say: Don't buy the september DVD release! No matter how nuch you'd like to own the OOT on DVD!
Sales figures and disapponted or even angree reactions of fans from all over the world, sendign messages and mail to Lucasfilm Ltd., should give him enough feedback as to why fans didn't buy this september DVD release. He cannot deny it. He KNOWS!
