I intend to leave it in. Though that used to bother me, it's so ingrained in Star Wars lore now that I cannot change it. Every piece of the EU would be totally nullified, whereas right now I'm only really getting in the way of one book (Shadows of the Empire.) Being an EU fan, I like that they are related. And I actually quite like the way it plays out in this version. With nobody telling Luke that Leia is his sister, he now figures that out by himself. It's quite a nice revelation. And since the love triangle in my version is non-existant, it doesn't feel like an easy way out of that any more. It takes on more meaning. It's a bit more powerful.

But again that's my preference, and I can easily understand why people want it changed. If anyone wants to take a stab at removing that subplot from my edits and rereleasing it that way, I'd be fine with that.

And to be less cryptic about your previous question, DVD on March 1st, AVI as soon as I can get it out. Which may still be March 1st. It all depends on when I get the effect shots so I can plug them in.
