One thing that incredibly irks me is when fans of the Special Edition tell others to just be happy with the 95 copies and stop complaining. Sadly, I never bought the 1995 editions for two reasons: I was 10 and back then, USA or the Sci-fi channel would play the trilogy every couple months. I also didn't know they would be the last time the originals would be released (again, I was 10). So unlike the rest of you, I have no way of seeing the Originals in any format. I have the SE's, but I really can't stand watching them. I used to love defend, but after going threw an extenstive anti-hollywood/cgi phase in my life thanks to troma movies, my fanboy love of George Lucas sort of died. It's astonishing how detached he is from the rest of the world.

What I wouldn't give to have the originals. Though I never saw them in theatres, they were my childhood.

I guess there was no need for this post but just for me to vent some personal frustration. I'll go back to lurking now.
