Instead he gushed about how great they were and how lucky we were to have them at all. Now, 2 years down the road, he jumps on his pedestal and starts ranting. Thanks Bill! Nice timing!
As a member of the boards that Bill occasionally posts at, I recall him being quite the Negative Nancy when the 2004 discs were first announced. He was bitching up a storm about how Lucasfilm couldn't get their stuff together to really honor the films with more elaborate extras, etc. He eventually mellowed and I guess was happy enough to finally have the SW films on DVD. Remember folks, for many people, SW was the reason they bought DVD players back in the day. And they had to wait year after year asking over and over again "When will we get Star Wars on DVD?" I remember when the discs were first announced many people were just as shocked as when Lucasfilm announced the OUT were coming out on DVD earlier this year. People couldn't believe it.
