The real question is, how do people accept such lousy quality releases and act dumb founded when others don't like it?
Ever heard the phrase, "The customer is always right"? LFL apparently has not. From a company with a reputation such as LFL's, you would expect quality product, regardless of a crappy PT, their physical products have always been solid. Seemingly they, or George, has decided they are above the necessity of making quality products, and strangely, they have a massive army of people who seem as if they would defend them to the death on their decision.
Makes sense people like us would complain to hell and back about a DVD set featuring only the special edition, and not even the special edition we knew, but an even more special special edition. We'd sift through the thing with a fine toothed comb and fine the tiniest flaws to rip it apart with, but the errors don't take a fine toothed comb, they are glaring! It seems like people who were perfectly fine with the PT and the SE ought to take offense to such a poorly done release. It is a huge insult to anyone who spend their money on it really. A recall should have been issued.
When the Back to the Future Trilogy was released it suffered from some minor matting issues, and yet Universal saw fit to immediately fix the problem, and allow unsatisfied customers to have their sets replaced. Why did they do this? Because people noticed the errors and complained about them, and Universal cared about their customers. Notice how there is not a site that is dedicated to finding the highest quality version of the Back to the Future trilogy that nitpicks the crap out of the errors that were made on the DVD release? One doesn't exist, because there is nothing left to complain about, it was fixed. People don't shut up about the crappy 04 release of SW, because it has been rererereleased and it STILL has the glaring errors glaring as bright as ever.
LFL's mistakes were FAR more serious than the issues with the BTTF trilogy, and all they saw fit to do was give people the middle finger by saying that all the errors were creative decisions, that apparently only applied to the English language track :). I for one feel that making Luke's saber change colors was a very bold and kick ass creative decision to make. I was kind of hoping Revenge of the Sith would explain the deeper significance to changing of the blade's colors, and was disappointed to see that it was not addressed. I am sure Lucas has a very good reason for this, I can't wait to hear what it is though... four years and still not a word about it...
