So I had the trilogy waiting for me in my Netflix queue. I timed the return of my movies from last week so Netflix would get them on Tuesday and ship out Star Wars that same day. Well - isn't it funny that it suddenly took an extra day for Netflix to receive my return this week? Yes, very funny indeed. And now the trilogy is showing up in my queue as "Very Long Wait."
Well - this could be the event that triggers my journey towards the darkside. I can see Emperor Palpatine sitting in Circuit City right now, holding up all three and saying, "You want these, don't you? Take them. They cost less than $40. Take them home and your journey towards the darkside will be complete."
It's very tempting, and I'm afraid I might cave. I pride myself on being a man of my word, and now I feel weak and pathetic. If I buy them, I'll have to shamefully hide them and never show them to anyone. I might even have to change my username on several forums.
What should I do?

rennervision, maybe this thread will help. I too am very upset at Lucas over this whole thing, but I am sort of looking at the bright side now: at least we got something and a non-anamorphic DVD is much better than nothing IMO.
If it's any consellation, I wouldn't think less of you because I know how you feel. And if it would help, maybe fire off another letter to LFL telling them why you bought it? That might help you feel better...
