Thought the boycott idea does still sound great in some repects (thank the maker I got my Faces LD 2 days ago), perhaps buying it would prove a point as well. GL probably thinks of us, if he thinks of us, as spoiled brats. No matter what he does, we will never be happy. So he claims the moral high ground as an "artist" that has the "right" to pick one of his children and throw the other to the street. However, what happens when we say the following. "Gl, we bought the prequals. We bought the SE set in September. We politely petioned you to simply release the 'rough cuts' of your films, the original theatrical films on DVD, just to preserve your art. And once you do, we will still be buying, you know that. Otherwise, why have we continued to fuel Star Wars in the first place?"

Now honestly, after all that, who COMPLETELY has the moral high ground? Who will the film critics respect? Him or us? I think you know the answer to that and that is the reason I will be here, petioning for the original cuts until the masters are completely gone or I am dead. I am in it for the long haul. And regardless if you buy these sets in September, aren't you still in this? Isn't the classics of the 70's and 80's as they originally were worth fighting for? If you answer that as a no or you don't know the answer, perhaps you shouldn't be here in the first place. May the Force Be with you.
