This is what I find puzzling, for a site like AVSForum...

People go ballistic when a film released on blu ray is modified by digital noise reduction, edge enhancement, poor color timing, loss of grain, etc. I would assume most everyone on this site agrees that those are bad things. Yet many of these same people are not bothered by the fact that a classic film is being repeatedly modified- and that this modified version is REPLACING the original film, which has not yet seen an HD release (and might not ever). Not only are some people not bothered by this, but there are people who take it a step further and apparently find it ridiculous that others would complain that the original film is not available in HD.

If people can be up in arms about a release like Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition, why can't people be equally angry about not having an HD release of the original Star Wars trilogy?

Is it really that ridiculous that people are angry about not being able to watch the original Star Wars in HD?
