Dear George,
Are you really going to make me break out my 'The first time I saw Star Wars' story again? Because even I'M sick of it at this point.
On the eve of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray this release of the OG trilogy is not just an insult to the OG fans, it really is the Jar Jar Binks of triple dips.
Laserdisc transfers, extra disc of 2004 Theatrical Version (thanks! zzzz), no 5.1 surround, non-anamorphic widescreen. Man... I hope it comes with someone to kick the back of my chair, too. /snark
My only reaction to this release, in this format is to hoist a cybernetic middle finger in the air... like I just don't care. Because I don't. Seriously.
My 'first time' story is really good too. But I'm sure you've got one just as ultra-nerdy as mine so I'll spare you. The point is, these films mean a lot to certain children of the late 70s/early 80s. (introverted, conflicted, overly sensitive latch-key kids, i'm looking in your direction)
Do you REALLY need to squeeze one more revenue bump out of this film stock, George? Fine. Just do it right, please. I'm already super ****ed about I, II and III so this was a great chance to get me back on your good side. Whoops!
I'll donate $60 to my HD-DVD player fund and wait you out, you wily money-mad nut. You have to release them sometime Llllucas.. YOU HAVE TO! And I'll be there, yes I will.
*looks into the sunset and squints dramatically*
But for now, I must admit that I underestimated the power of the Dark Side. However you overestimated my willingness to just run out and buy any edition of Empire that you decide to fart out to pad the quarter.
So I guess we're even.
