Look, it's only really the fans of the original originals who are hacked off with this. Everyone else accepts the Star Wars films as they are just fine.

It makes no difference which version of the film I or anyone else"prefers". The original theatrical versions won seven academy awards including editing and special effects. Changing the editing and the special effects while not allowing a decent release of the award-winning versions creates an unprecedented historical artistic void that could and should be rectified.
