If you decide to do this, be prepared for a backlash from diehard George Lucas fans, and by that I mean those who love all the 2004 Special Edition changes, believe that Lucas really did have a vision in mind all along and basically can do no wrong. I was monitoring a thread on Blu-ray.com that became pretty intense at times. Opposition will also come from those who maintain that directors can do no wrong, for whom the phrase as the director intended is both utterly indisputable and self-evidently conclusive; and for whom anyone who does not accept that this is so is automatically to be treated as an idiot. Perhaps some of you have the appetite for that kind of protracted online arguing, and if so I applaud you, but I have long since lost it.
