Lucas talks about the Sept 12th Release of the O-OT — Page 3

So, I guess we're not sending the discs back in one package? We're just each going to send them separately?
Of course you should send them separately. We're being forced to purchase them separately, after all.
I myself am still undecided on whether I should buy them or not. The SE discs could always function as coasters or frisbees.

That would be a terrible waste. Sending them back to George Lucas would make much more sense. Let him use them for frisbees or coasters.

Hmm, good question. Jim Ward could be the one who would actually understand the message best, since it seems like he has more sympathy for the OT fans.
My accompanying message will be brief I think. "Thanks, but no thanks." Maybe a P.S. of, "Give the theatrical releases better treatment next time."

He may be getting some pressure from 20th Century Fox as well. I'm sure they remember which version of the trilogy saved their collective behinds.

More power too you. It appears that, even after our long hard battle, the fight for the OOT is still far from over, and is a waiting game
yet again.
Just ask. This is not the only message board where fans prefer the OOT.
"Now we'll find out whether they really wanted the original or whether they wanted the improved versions," he said. "It'll all come out in the end."

Let's hope he gets the message and fans do not disappoint him.

The "what are you going to do with your SE discs thread has info on that. How many people are involved time 3 discs per person. I'd love it if Lucas actually opened the package.

When the '04 DVDs were originally announced, many sites listed that each movie disc featured an "easter egg credit roll". Perhaps it's a mistake leftover from the '04 announcement, or maybe Lucasfilm did re-edit the credit roll for each individual film.

That didn't happen specifically because the OOT would've at least gone head-to-head with the SEs in terms of sales, and his fragile ego couldn't handle that.

Lets hope that you're right.

Sales of late seem to indicate that you weren't that far off.
