Well, a few posts slipped in while I was writing mine.

Just for the record, I don't hate Lucas, I don't hate the SEs (although parts of them drive me nuts), but I don't enjoy them either.
I don't hate the prequels, but was very disappointed with them.

I am highly disappointed with the GOUT release, I always think if you are going to actually do something then you do it properly. If you are going to release the OUT then at least do a new telecine of it with current technology and make it an anamorphic release just the way any other major film from the 70s has been treated on DVD.
Matte lines, corrections soundtracks etc. are all open for personal preference, but doing a direct dump of a 1993 laserdisc master tape is just a poor effort.

The film deserved at least the same treatment that a standard film to DVD transfer gets.

I think it is pretty clear where I stand on all this stuff anyway, so I'm not going to go on about it any more here. If someone wants to start up a 'philosophy of the SW fan' thread then I'll chat there if I get time.
