QuoteTeehee, that was my favorite quote from that article as well, telex54. I'm really disappointed about this. Especially the "We love our fans, but this is about art and filmmaking." part is ridiculous. I mean what the heck does GL think this is about?! The whole point of this petition is to preserve a piece of art - the original versions of one of the most remarkable film trilogies in history.

"We realize there's a lot of debate out there," says Ward. "But this is not a democracy. We love our fans, but this is about art and filmmaking. [George] has decided that the sole version he wants available is this one."
And Bossk, I think you are right. But we can still do our part and inform the folks in our direct vicinity (friends, collegues, relatives, etc.) and spread the word. I still hope that this is some kind of marketing strategy to release the DSE first and then bring the original versions at some point in the future to make folks like us buy the films twice. But it is still extremely frustrating, especially after the goofed up release of the Indy DVDs here in germany (only Dolby 2.0 quality for the german soundtrack "digitally mastered for superior sound"), if they pull that one off with the DSE dvds, they can keep 'em.
Oh... and telex54, welcome to the boards.
