It's not a matter of accepting or not accepting non-anamorphic DVDs, the fact is right now we don't have a choice!


No, Mielr. You always have a choice. But people tend to lose their brains when it comes to Star Wars and forget this fundamental truth of the human situation. A rational person would say, "This is the best choice," or, "This is not the best choice," or, "I cannot determine which choice is best." Irrational people deny even the possibility of choice*. To your credit, you seem to believe that the GOUT is the best choice, but you also make the mistake of saying it's the only choice. (That is, no choice at all.)

Personally, I think the GOUT is neither the only choice nor the best choice. I also think buying into it limits future choices by providing a disincentive against creating quality products may retard the progress of the art and science of home video. But I tend to get philosophical and zealous about such things. Call it the Rebel in me.

* I am referring, of course, to situations in which decisions are made, in which the choosing faculty or will is exercised. Not to situations where there legitimately is no choice because will is irrelevant; you cannot choose to negate gravity, for instance.
