I bought all of the DVDs of all the movies the minute they came out (except for ROTS, as that was released at a point where I was broke) - and I don't regret it. I don't intend to get rid of them, either. The Star Wars historian in me wants to have all of the versions of the films, at the very least just for the sake of reference. And I reference them a lot. I may not like the SEs or the prequels as much as I do the OOT, but it's all Star Wars - even if I find parts of it disappointing. I guess I look at the SE changes and prequels as EU material that I don't necessarily accept as canon, but find interesting to watch sometimes, kind of like reading those Star Wars Tales comics Dark Horse put out.

When I want to watch what to me are the REAL movies, I get out the EditDroid set. Or maybe the Moth3r set, for better quality. As long as I have the choice of being able to watch the OOT, I'm happy. I have that choice now, unofficial though it may be. When the September DVDs come out, hopefully I'll have a somewhat better quality yet (though still non-anamorphic) official choice, and be somewhat happier.

I'll repeat what I imagine are the feelings of most of the group here: I don't care what George Lucas does to his movies, as long as I have the ability to watch the original, unaltered versions in good quality at my leisure.
