you call the OOT being designated as "special features" as an official release?

Sorry guys, you are treating a category 5 hurricane as a mere drizzle

I think we all agree it is a crappy release, I think that the fact that Lucas put it out and went against his word, gives us hope.

You have to remember that the average person with a 27" Standard TV won't notice a difference in quality between anamophic and non-anamorphic, and that is still the majority of people who are in the market. Of course there will always be diehards like us who notice any ounce of good or bad quality in a DVD release, but we are still a huge minority.

My nephews have grown up on the SE and were born after 1997, so they didn't even know what the OOT was? I bought them the OOT movies and showed them the ending of ROTJ with that old guy Anakin there in the ghost scene, and they were amazed! They don't have a VCR in the house, and those kids have grown up on a steady diet of DVD's, so if this release never came out, there would be one less set of kids who would always think that Greedo shot first.

I have never defended this release, nor I refuse to ever pop that thing in my 52" Widescreen TV, but if there is one fan out there who now knows that there is 2 versions of the OT, I still say it is better then no OOT on DVD.
