Hey Mielr,

I saw in one of todays' new threads you bought and watched the dreaded object of our campaign here. And that you are pleasently surprised, which is kind of a relief to me.
Because I admit would have found it VERY hard NOT to buy that sloppy, non-anamorphic OOT - as I haven't had ANY occasion to re-discover the originals (not on pirated material, not on laserdisc, nothing) to this day, after seeing them at age 11(!) in 1977, etc.
AND I also haven't shelled out a dime to Lucasfilms to this day for the SE either.
So I'm not as frustrated (and I certainly understand them ) as some fans who've bought the boxed set before and are screaming now they're going to "wait for the HD DVD or Blu-Ray editions that will surely follow". (I wouldn't be quite as optimistic as they are - and if they're right we surely will have contributed to the situation !!!).

I have to check out the VHS recordings I made when swiss tv broadcasted the three first film out of the blue some years ago [ NO, believe it if you can, years ago and I have NOT checked them out... ], and I'm very much convinced that they didn't have the license to offer us the SE back then... so I might have a treasure waiting there for me...
I guess I'm going to buy that "new" edition of the "old" (meaning the REAL) movies anyway.

Keep us posted about * new targeted mailings * , and may the friggin' force be with all of us in this mad world we live in....... ........
