I'm a huge fan of LOTR and am grateful those films came along. They helped soften the blow of the crappy Star Wars prequels and the lack of Original Versions being available on DVD. I agree with the reviewer on one point many didn't. I would rather watch the LOTR Trilogy on DVD than the 2004 version of the Star Wars Trilogy. There is no question about that. Hell, I'm not even buying the Star Wars DVD's. However, I would have no problem picking the Star Wars Trilogy DVD's over the LOTR Trilogy DVD's if they contained the Original Versions.
