First off, don't give up hope people. This is a great site and until everything's completely finished, fight on. I've been expecting this announcement for a long time now regarding the different rumors that were around on the net. Since this is the official release now, there's something we still gotta look at. The main rumors lately is that he was going to release some form of the SE and then his rumored Ultimate Editions after Ep III, probably 2006 sometime. It was also rumored that (if at anytime) the OT was to be released on DVD it would be with the UE in 2006. That's what I'm still hoping for. Hopefully it will be included with the UE when he releases those.

With that said, I agree with the rest of you that he needs to be sent a message. That's the only way he'll understand what the fans want. Jay, you might want to create a boycottSE.com (that was off the top of my head) to get the message out there. I think supporting the bootleg DVD's, not buying the SE versions is the only way Lucas will listen.

That said, I am weak when it comes to Star Wars and still love it today. I thought the idea of buying the SE DVD through Ebay or Amazon was a great idea. That's what I plan to do. At least that way, Lucas won't get my money (since it's already bought). Get the message out there. Tell your friends. I still hope that the OT will be released on the UE in 2006.
