chainsawAsh I understand people are upset that the original cuts of EP 4-6 are not going to be on the blu-rays but it's not like it's the end of the world. 

It's the end of Star Wars for me, until the original cuts are released properly.

On a second note the trailer for the SW BD emphasized the PT more than the OT.

Which trailer? I didn't realise a trailer was out yet

There was a trailer for the SW BD saga released in like April-May. Look it up on youtube.

There have only been fan made trailers on youtube. There hasn't been an official trailer released yet and that probably won't happen until next year

I'll bet he's talking about one of the fan trailers on youtube.

Nice call, TV's Frink!

KenKraly2007,  you are on a site that's sole purpose is geting the originals on DVD and now on BLuRay, what did you expect around here?

Of course it is not the end of the world if you put it in perspective of problems like war, poverty, etc.

But we all have that in perspective, so it is a big deal in the context of the little things in life we like to enjoy, and Lucas has never given us that.

What I am saying is I understand some people are upset that the OOT will not be on the blu-ray release in 2011 but evently it will come out we just don't know when.

And you're just okay with this?  "Oh, it'll come out eventually, but for now I'll gladly pay for the pile of shit George is giving me instead of the real movie."

That's the mentality I don't understand.  I will not pay for something I won't watch - I won't watch the SE's, and I won't watch the prequels, so why would I buy this set?  And since this is all George is willing to put out now, expecting everyone to be happy with it, why should I be okay with that?  Why should I just say, "Oh, well, it'll come out eventually?"

Then why are you here?  Don't you realize what the whole purpose of this site is?  Why do you insist on telling us "It'll come out eventually, but hey, look at this shiny new polished turd George is giving you, you should be okay with that?"

No I am not ok with it but to me it does'nt bother me all that much. And the reason I'm here cause I am a star wars fan.

Then why the fuck are you here stirring the pot?  This site is dedicated to those that want this to happen, not for those that will "just settle" and buy more of George's crap.  And by the way, you might want to be sure you remain on topic.  This thread is about NOT wanting the Blu-ray set.

I swear, it's like talking to a brick wall.  Except you're more stubborn.

If it is released at all. Lucas could have made the GOUT the last time the OOT would be released, then we'd be up shit creek. 

The problem is the website has failed: what we have got since the site was launched seven years ago is the GOUT. And any other sites sharing our plight, they have become defunct (like project x0), or they backfired in our faces (like the People v. George Lucas).

To me the maltreatment of the OOT is a big fat deal.

I still love this thread.  And I always shall.

He'll eventually go back to the official site.  He posts this same pro-Lucas  mess on the New York Times comments sections for Star Wars articles.

I love Ken Kraly.  Every time this forum lapses into complacency, he comes in to act as a sounding board for the most vitriolic sentiments of the community.

 I told my family why I didn't want it & nobody ever got it for me (in fact, that's when I went out & bought a laserdisc player).  I didn't own Star Wars on DVD until the GOUT. And my family already knows I have zero interest in the blurays until the original films get restored.
