Also, I really miss the part in TPM where Watto waves his hands in the air and says "Sebulba" when the race is about to start. It's still there on the 2nd disc of the DVD, but I really wish that was still in the main picture.
That said, I have a Japanese Laserdisc that maintains the original theatrical cut, so I'm not totally out in the cold or anything.
As far as not accepting something as canon, that was never up to me in the first place. This is Lucas party and he gets to say what is and isn't canon in the universe that he originally created.
