I do agree with you about that statement, but I just look at this marathon as the future of SW, and either you are going to jump on the train or not, and that train contains the saga now: PT + OT/SE, and doesn't contain the O-OT. Now I do believe somewhere down the road, Lucas will release the O-OT fully restored, cause www.thedigitalbits.com showed that the DVD's ranked 5,6,7 on their first week of sales, and for a shoddy release that supposedly no one cares out, to be in the top 10 is pretty good, and shows me somebody wants them other than people who post on the internet.

I am just saying to everyone who is a fan of SW, this Cinemax marathon is what SW will be always be: The 6 movies somehow tied together as the saga, and Lucas will not relinquish any movie from its individual greatness cause he knows the PT movies can't stand up when looked upon that way, and I for one will not jump on that train sadly, cause I could care less about those 6 movies now. I have come to the conclusion that when the O-OT is released again fully remastered it will again have some tag line of bonus material, or something to denegrate it so it is not the 'official versions' just so Lucas doesn't have to admit that somebody wants it.

If you enjoy the PT & SE, and still love the O-OT, I believe you can carry on the SW wagon, but if you just love the O-OT and everything else is OK or bad, then just get used to being second class citizens when something happens in SW-ville, cause the O-OT will never get the spotlight ever again. And that is why my sig is what it is, I have accepted I am not part of the fanbase Lucas is targeting, so I will take a pass on this, when 10 years ago I would be on cloud nine. Oh well, let Lucas have his niche fanbase and see how loyal they are.
