and we should tick yes for the "have you found this review useful?" question in each others' review so that they will stay on top as the 'spotlight review'. imo.
Look, I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin everything, but... are you guys sure an online petition, even if it has thousands and thousands of votes, will persuate GL to change his mind? BTW, has anything like this worked before?
BTW I'm telling everyone I know, and I told about originaltrilogy in a brazillian SW message board.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering
Maybe it will, maybe not. Maybe GL is really Jar Jar Binks. All I know is at the very least, we are doing all we can to preserve Star Wars and that is a noble goal worth fighting for regardless of the outcome.
i know that the petition to release A Christmas Story in widescreen worked.. im not sure how many signatures they had but when the studio released the demand was there they started working on it in no time...
And that is hopefully all we have to do. Because after looking at just the regular person reviews, even those who liked the SE for the most part themselves were having a hard time justifying no OT, especially when there isn't one.

The closest we can come to saying the LFL knows of us is that Jay has received unofficial word that someone in LFL has seen our petition. Also, he said that at one point, someone signed the petition using an LFL e-mail address. However, the signature was never confirmed so it could have been faked.

I see, interesting. I am not totally concerned at this point because the longer there is no OT on DVD and especially when the SE-like SW releases by itself, I can guarantee that we will get a huge boost in signatures. And also consider, why it might only be 40,000 or so, it keeps increasing. And one day if we get to a 1,000,000 or some huge number like that, things will become even more obvious then they are.
1,000,000 signatures? Do you really think it will make it that far? It took approximately a year to reach 40,000 signatures. At that pace, if it increases steadily, it would take 25 years to reach a million. If we waited that long, we would probably be too old to care anymore.
