I dunno, I can't decide between watching my widescreen SEs or my 1995 THX-remastered pan scan set (the ones with Vader, Stormtrooper, and Yoda on the covers). Do I watch the films I grew up with and sacrifice image quality and the "whole picture" or do I watch the technically-superior SEs with annoying changes? Lately I've been watching the SEs just because I can't stand watching ANY movies in pan and scan these days, even though that's how I've been watching the original trilogy all these years. There are just too many scenes (e.g., every Milennium Falcon cockpit shot, last shot in ANH) where the pan and scan "cutoffs" are too noticeable after watching the same shot in widescreen. The only way to see the original trilogy in widescreen now is to acquire one of the 1995 widescreen collector's sets, which are going on E-Bay for upwards of $50, which I'm just not willing to plunk down. Despite my predilection towards widescreen, I will NOT be buying the SE DVDs when they come out, just because I don't want to give any $$$ towards encouraging Lucas to completely ignore his original versions.
I'd also just like to say that's it good to see that there's so many other SW fans out there who want the original trilogy back on home video. It's just too bad that Lucas has completely alienated his core fan base.
