Um, you cant get the original unaltered trilogy in a 3 VHS pack. I have it myself. It's remastered and cleaned up, but it is the original trilogy.

We are fighting to make the OT available in common places where everybody can easily find and purchase them. To have to enter a bidding war on eBay or buy a bootleg from someone whose reliability is questionable at best is not how consumers should have to find the original copies of one of the highest grossing series of movies of all time. If this were some B movie, it would be understandable. But not Star Wars.

not forever!
I have 2 different sets of the OT on VHS myself and both are starting to show wear and tear...
so give it about 10 more years and its almost safe to say that no one will have a nice looking copy on VHS....

i think we gotta get Jay to get some sort of marketing campaign in order to draw some attention to this site...
i dunno if im the only one who thinks people are blind to this or not... but today it's Star Wars... but who knows what tomorrow holds...
i was thinking about starting some sort of chain email??
sometimes people just delete them but every now and then someone will send it on just for the fact of keeping it alive...
maybe i should put this under suggestions but you know how fast word spreads....

You assume that all Star Wars fans support this effort. I assume a large percentage support the effort. I have one of those signatures. But you must be realistic.

2. Fans of the original trilogy have done nothing but bitch at Lucas and then ask Lucas to repect them. Its absolutly sick. After how wonderful Attack of the Clones was I can understand Lucas's frustration. There is simply no pleasing these people.

3. Releasing the originals in the same pack would result in either higher price, less extras, or both.

4. The original versions are work prints in manys mind. Why not release ten versions to show how the movies evolved. Or just show the final version.

Those are the arguements
