Why would someone spring for a rich fat guy in the bushes, and blindly, deaf to rational arguments, fight a guerilla war with those who do not confirm his original vision? Sounds very much like a religious nut to me.
You are the one using terms like that.
Oh, here comes the titty twisting again.
That's a bit extremist of you don't you think?

Nope. Fighting for better quality conforms to the natural habit of the human race to improve itself. People working against that have an agenda, and in the Star Wars fanbase, it is most often the unconditional love and protection for their creator.
You see, on all other movies, a usual forum conversation goes like this:
Person A: This release is non-anamorphic and uses an old Laserdisc transfer. Although I would really like to have this movie, I won´t buy it, because it is not worth the money.
Person B: You are right! DVD is a high quality video format, and it is a shame this coming out in 2006.
Person C: Even the first DVD releases in 1998 were mostly anamorphic! I did not start to support this format a long time ago with my money just to see now a blatant decrease in quality.
Person D: I agree, we should not buy it. Time will pass, and a better release will surely come out, as it has always been with bad quality releases.
On Star Wars however, it goes like this:
Person A: This OOT release is non-anamorphic and uses an old Laserdisc transfer. Although I would really like to have the OOT, I won´t buy it, because it is not worth the Money.
Person B: You are right! DVD is a high quality video format, and it is a shame this coming out from Luscasfilm. George surely knows how to milk his fans dry.
Person C (religios nut): You whiney bastards! First you want these movies, then you just can complain. You guys make me sick!
Person D (another religious nut): Yeah, man! You requested the originals, so you got the originals! Making them Aniamorfic is just changing them anyway, and all this grain and dirt belongs to these movies, too! If you don´t buy them now, THEY WON´T COME OUT EVER AGAIN!!! Not that I would care, because I love the new versions soo much better! HAHAHA!
Person A & B: *sigh*
