most fans sit in the middle when it comes to the PT, they kinda like them,
No way. The first two are really bad films and the third one i mediocre. I don't like any of them.

ROTFL...and will likely continue to hold that title.
" I was at SW's official site and they had a video advertisement for LG's new player that can play both formats. Yes, LFL will probably allow pretty much anyone to advertise there for the right amount of $. But I still can't shake the feeling that something is up their sleeves..."
Seriously, I would read absolutely nothing into that. Universal players are the only way to go, although Lucas could put a serious dent into either format by choosing one over the other (and yet could make double the profit releasing to both.)

With what exactly? The 'OOT' definitely wont see the light of day in HD quality.

It's as simple as that. Lucasfilm fucked up by not releasing anything for the 30th Anniversary. They screwed up. That's all there is to it.

Someone should start a petition, gather as many signitures as we can and give It to Lucas. They'll come around. I'm sure of it. So... Who's with me?
We can win

I'd sign one, but I really don't think it matters much. The original OT petition didn't impact George very much--it was much more succesful, I think, in bringing together fans--and it's become increasingly clear since then that Lucas doesn't really care what the long-time fans think or want. A petition only works if someone is interested in what the petitioners have to say. In this case, there's no chance we could get enough people to sign a petition that there's an economic argument to be made for taking the petition seriously. And I hate to say it, but I think that's the only way a fan petition will get in the door.
To paraphrase the Borg: "Petitions are futile."

So I came up with a plan.
-first, someone has to pretend they're diing
-next contact the "Make A Wish Foundation" or something and ask for the newly enhance Saga Box Set.
It's a foolproof plan.

Any petition now would be smaller than the original outcry for the originals, which would look real bad. An increasingly big chunk of fans actively DON'T want or care about anything but the current versions and the "complete saga", which they'll get forever anyway. Which means the same 6 movies as shown on HBO all the time, but with a few new changes every 4 years for the rest of time. And if you're REAL good, some deleted scenes you can see for free already on youtube, and a new documentary on the genius of it all. All coming in 2009!

I think it's more that an increasing number of fans don't care to collect yet another copy of Star Wars on DVD. As far as they're concerned, they have the movies. They've got the SEs and may have gotten a fan preservation from someone here. They see no need to buy another copy from LFL.
The only thing that could make fans want to buy it again would be to put out an HD boxed set with all the deleted scenes from all the movies. Since that isn't likely to happen before the next format war, nobody cares.
You are disciplined but tolerant; a true American.

Yes, but even with a release of the SEs he could pretty much end the format war.

More to the point, technically none of the star wars films are on dvd in their original forms. I kinda like to look at the dvds as the '97-'05 version of the saga. The GOUT is a totally different matter, and I still wish GL hadn't bothered if he was just going to fuck over the fans like that. The sting goes away when you remember that it was also the first individual releases of the OT movies, and maybe it's just a first step on a very long road and not the first and last step on that road. GL won't ignore us as fans if we yell loud enough.
February of '09 is the official switchover date to digital television in the United States. In order to watch tv in the U.S. after that point people will need a box to convert the digital signal into analog (I would assume if they already have cable this would be done for them) or they'll have to get a digital tv set. Either way, analog tv broadcasts will be a thing of the past.
here's my source on that in case you're having trouble believing me.
Doesn't get more official than that.
The GOUT won't be any more obsolete than it already is, which is very, very obsolete.

Your funny, but I wasn't serious about that. I just want to start a petition to see how many people care, and then I'll send it to LucasFilm. I know it may not work, but you'll never know until someone tries.
