I'm thinking this whole thing is treated with too much emotion, with the talk of suing and erased childhood memories (and the Lucas devotees on the other side defending the guy like he's their fucking dad) . It's nothing that grandiose, it's just bad merchandise, like buying a shitty muffler. It's okay to complain when it's not up to expected standards. Star Wars doesn't exist in a special world, we pay the same money for it that we do for anything else, so it should be held to the same standard as any other movie with multiple versions. Art or vison or integrity aren't involved because it was a merely a cheap-ass financial decision to release the laserdisc transfers to every store in the world (twice). The artistic decison would have been to bury them completely forever. (a really bad decision)
