it'd be interesting to take a poll as to who amongst us will actually be buying the September DVD release of the trilogy, I know there has been a lot of talk about people boycotting the new set, and while I think it's to be commended, I'm just sceptical of how large a scale of a boycott it would take to actually make a noticable dent in sales of the OT set.

I think despite the special addition(s) changes made, there is no way that sales for this new set won't go through the roof, I don't think the people at Fox or Lucasfilm will really notice how many UNITs they AREN't selling because of fans opposed to the changes, Whereas they may take more notice of a 60,000+ petition signed by fans who are willing to shell out for a set of Original theatrical Versions.

If Fox were able to pressure Lucasfim into doing pan&scan versions of the films because of sales, I don't understand why they can't lobby George into releasing the originals, I'd be happy to buy both sets.
