Does it depress me? As a fan since 1977, no it doesn't. Serious things depress me, like the question of whether I will always be able to provide for my family, or the thorny issue of shooting unarmed terrorists because there isn't enough evidence to convict them in court, but does the fact that the older versions of some favourite films won't see the light of day on Blu-Ray depress me? No, course it doesn't.

Should they be available? Well, maybe as works-in-progress or from a curio's point of view, then perhaps. The fact that I haven't seen the originals since nineteen-oh-spit probably speaks volumes on my perspective on this most trivial (in my mind) of issues.

Come on, we all have our priorities right, we are talking about being depressed in the context of watching the movies. Of course the OOT isn't as serious as the unemployment rate, terrorism, the national debt, etc. We all get that.

In the context of being a SW fan, it just sucks that every BluRay release has every version (Close Encounters, Bladerunner, ET, T2, etc.) and a SW boxset can't?

And please don't call them works in progess, because you sound like some moron from TFN who gets his talking points faxed to them every morning from Lucasranch :)

Well, that's how they are. Sorry if you think it sounds like a political answer...or, um, moronic. But it's just an opinion.

It's Lucas's call, not ours. I'm happy with that but I'm not stupid enough to know where I am and therefore this opinion is a minority one. I just think Lucas sees them as ongoing works, hence the constant tinkering (which, no, I don't think is a good thing for any artist to do). So that's what they are.
