I'm just cut from a different cloth because, while I grew up with Star Wars, it didn't hold the significants to me until around '96. I didn't see A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back during their intial release(s). I did see Return of the Jedi in the theatre. I grew up with the Original Trilogy on VHS but I didn't know the ends and outs of the entire process until I got to college and majored in film...
It's just my philosophy on film has been shaped mainly by him and a few others of his generation. And for me, his thought processes on his Original Trilogy just make alot of sense to me. I try to see both sides when it comes to criticism of film.

Yeah, I kind of did. And shouldn't have. You're entitled to prefer the SEs. Just understand the not everyone does, and that Lucas is denying a high-quality release of it to those of us who don't. As I said, you have made many good points and I respect your beliefs. I just want a high-quality OOT DVD release. If you're with us in the campaign, then you're more than welcome.
