My favorite part of that article-Jim Ward 2004: it’s hardly a controversy. We sold over $100 million in one day of this DVD around the world, so I don’t think anybody’s too upset about it. And any changes that George made, they might be controversial to about 5 people.”
Seriously? Just because they made a bunch of money means that everyone likes it?
I remember September 21st 2004 like it was yesterday. Stood in line to get my WS box set pre-order in a Toys R'Us. I got it home, and watched all three, becoming increasingly puzzled, frustrated, furious, and ultimately crushed. If I could have done something about it, I certainly would have. At first I thought it was problems with my TV or DVD player or something. All I had wanted was just the 97s on DVD. After realizing the colors weren't my equipment screwing up, I finally got to the end of Jedi and realized what I had just been duped into buying.
It killed the movies for me. It really did. I didn't watch any of the films again until a year or so after the GOUT. Officially in countless ways the worst home video release EVER.
Okay...I'm done now...;)
