Why? Does not the ORIGINAL Special Edition deserve to also be archived?

I mean I like the SE's - I don't like greedo or jabba - but the rest is WONDERFUL - Now that the new offical DVD's are out the ORIGINAL SPECIAL EDITIONS are gone.

I have at least three YOUNGER friends that saw Star Wars the FIRST time as the Special Editions what about their memories?

NOT everyone on this board is 30-40 years old - SOME members only really know the SE's and have only seen the originals on TV riddled with commercials and some time with missing scenes.


Think about it NO MATTER how bad ANY of you feel about the SE's - THEY also deserve to be archived restored and converted form Laserdisc to DVDr - there are some out there now but I'm sure we can make a better capture - MeBeJedi - I'll send you my SE LD's for this if your down!

Sorry for the rant but man the original trilogy is NOT the only version of Star Wars the deserves to be remembered...


only ESB and ROTJ need to be converted. the Reivax conversion of ANH can't be top because it has been made from a digital beta source.

I would think that all of you, even if not in favor of the SE, would at least be in favor of preserving it for those who want it. It's pretty much the same thing you all are going through. An older version of a movie you love is being put by the way side. For us SE fans it is the same thing, it's just a different version. On principle, I'd think you'd offer some support to us...no?

what about those growing up on the new special edition (2004)? should we convert that (somehow) to HD-DVD when the ultimate editions come out?

i dunno, the DVDs of these from asia used to be all over the place. keep checking around. i have a set, but it's missing New Hope, otherwise, I'd do my best to hook you up.

What's really crazy is that the guy ask a straight forward question and it sets off yet another pointless debate. If your interested in the 1997 editions on DVD send me a message, and I'll hook you up.

One question, if I had a movie theater and asked for Fox to show Star Wars on my movie theater, what copy would they send me? The 1997 version? Or today's? And will any subsequent theatrical re-relase feature the 2004 version, or the 1997 one?
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering
