I can NEVER understand why some people give us a hard time for liking the Revisited projects but disliking the Special Editions. They are two utterly different things.

Ady isn't the one suppressing the originals, and if I'm not mistaken he actually made an Empire theatrical reconstruction.

Sheesh.

I've always figured that most people (like me) would think the SEs were nifty, or at least not hate them, if they were just packaged with a decent OOT.

While not everyone loved them, I never heard real hatred of the SEs until Lucas started his campaign of repression.
