Now as I have said, this set will still sell like hotcakes, but I firmly believe the NOOO change was the turning point in the 'casual' fan getting fed up with all the OT changes. When the 04 Set came out, there was not as much anger as I have seen by fans and columnists.

I agree, I have seen many people saying that they were fine with everything until NOOO! However, there are also more of us on the internet, and more of us paying attention because we have been burned before.

I had no idea what I was buying in 2004. I didn't think there were any changes from the '97 version at that stage. I'm not saying that I like that version, but I bought it because it was Star Wars on DVD and had a special features disc!

I have learned my lesson.
