Absolutely. I'm against all the tampering he's done. Mostly because the tampering he's done is major - story-changing as well as character-changing. Put out 10 different versions, I don't give a shit. I'm not going to bother with them. At least make sure one of them is the same version that millions of people around the world turned you into a billionaire with. That doesn't seem like it's asking too much.


I too happen to think that the Ewoks are cute. So sue me.

We the jury find the defendant, Mike O, guilty of thinking ewoks (small animals that, even though they're covered in fur, find it necessary to wear poorly made, ill-fitting clothing) are cute.

I think if ever they are going to be released, the first time you will be able to buy these you won't be able to get them for $30. You will have the buy them in the biggest, shit-laden box-set the world has ever seen, all loaded into lifesize model of Darth's helmet. New versions plus old of each of the 6 films. They will be packaged with everything you never wanted to see or wondered about the SW films, and lacking most of what you did want to see. The price will make us weep openly, and we will get about 12 to 15 extra shiny disks of crap to go with the 3 OOT disks. At todays prices, I guess $350 US minimum. Ohh, and they would be rushed too, so they would be loaded with goofups, poorly mixed sound, you know..all that usual crap some of us have come to expect. I can't see anything to make me think if he does release them, that he wouldn't go for a huge wallet hit first time.

I'd imagine he would have some more time here in Oz before he recuts the first three with added scenes, or maybe they will just all be done on computer. I'm not sure they would have it ready for the 30th aniversary.I think they will sell enough product for the 30th aniversary anyway, without having to make a super boxset, and could release that at anytime when it's done.

I could be a pessimist though. I'm pretty sure I am.

If there is a remastered OOT on the boxed set with anamorphic widescreen and mono.2.0/5.1-from-six-track-sound, then I will pay pretty much any price. If it has the "From Star Wars to Jedi" and other older documentaries as well, I would proably sell my soul for it. I am hoping that Lucas, shrewd businessman that he is, is thinking along those same lines. But who knows? His mind works in very, very strange ways. He seems to have multiple personalities or something.

It's been what, 11 years since the last time the OOT was released on home video? I guess we'll see in 2017.

I don't know. I mean, the 1997 SEs were only on VHS for a short time. Really, Lucas's battle against the OOT has been in full swing since 2004, with the DVD release, and we are finally starting to gain ground a mere two years later.

When I said ever, I was referring to the foreseeable future - known releases, announced releases, anniversary box sets, etc - the distance into the future that I'm willing to concern myself with. None of knows what's going to happen decades from now. For the record, I was in the middle of typing out an explanation for you in another thread, the first time you asked me about it, and my internet connection took a shit on me. I just never got back to doing it.


You don't like Empire and Jedi, huh? Ah, well. To each his own.

I don't dislike Empire. I watch it every few years, but it's not something I'm going to worry about getting a proper version of.

Return is ridiculous. Lucas had already started to ruin Star Wars by then and I sure as hell don't need an anamorphic version of this trash....

There are many cruel jokes which I have too much heart to type here. But maybe if Wicket was in charge at LFL, we could get a decent OOT DVD release.

Don't...ever...say....that...again.
