With all this special edition DVD hoopla, I want to remind everyone to keep one thing in mind.
Lucas is not screwing us with this release.
This release was not suppose to happen, GL has said many times that he did not want to do DVDs for any of the movies until Episode 3 was done.
Due to fan pressure he is releasing this set now. But this is not the “real” dvd set. If you are dissappointed with this set (and I don;'t blame you) don’t buy it, there is another much better one on its way for 2007.
As for it not being the original versions, I want them too, and I would of loved if that was what they were releasing in Sept 2004, from a marketing stand point it would of made a lot more sense, but please bare in mind that there was not suppose to be a sept 2004 release at all. This was not the original plan, but something that is being thrown together only from a couple months ago. Ift eh OV OT were to come out, it would not be now anyways.
So if your frustrated with LFL for not releasing the original versions, thats cool, but in the grand scheme of things it has nothing to do with this release.

I'm pretty sure that if this year's release of the Special Edition won't include the OT, because of Lucas' veto, the chances that he'll let his beloved Archive Editions (what he himself imagines as his ultimate vision of the saga) be littered by the 'dreadful' OTs are below zero.
Don't forget that he stopped the release of the ultimate version of the Episode II Soundtrack for no apparent reason. And that was after Sony Music was already finished with producing it.
I don't want to tear down your heads up, Rebel Scumb. But I think we shouldn't underestimate the current situation. If George Lucas really doesn't care about this 2004 release, there would have been a much larger chance of the OT being included with the soon obsolete SEs than with his beloved Archive Edition.
I'm not saying I'm giving up. I'm just saying it's not september yet and I haven't given up on the dream of a 7DVD set (along the lines of the Alien Qaudrilogy) yet.

That's why I think we need to get more media attention. Not to convince people of our point of view. But to inform them of the current situation. Only then will the people have a choice. If CNN money can report about the Half-Life 2 Source code theft, there's no reason why they shouldn't report about Lucas already considering the OT as non-existent.
In my opinion, even if the petition breaches the 1 million mark, it won't do much good without any media attention.

So no changes can be made to a DVD quickly. Then how did Spielberg change his version of ET overnight. Before the release we were all thinking bare bones theatrical, then come day of the release it seemed as if at the last minute he threw in Dolby 5.1 and a much loved DTS track. Changes can be made ridiculously fast. Dont be fooled by the mumbojumbo.

Steal the coding that is used when you click the image button above to attach an image to a post reply (the one that looks like a picture frame) and use it to find the animated image. Then, before you actually post your reply, copy the code and go into your profile setting and use that code as your signature. It will load any image you want as a signature.
Or were you asking how he animated it? If so, I'll defer to him.
