I agree with Tyrphanax 100%. I just want the movies I saw as a kid. The one that made me beg my parents to dig my brother's old action figures out of the closet and let me have my own adventures. Had I been a little older, I would have begged my parents for a laserdisc player to see them in better quality than the old releases that sat on the shelves of my local mom and pop video store.
If Lucas would have just given us a choice, then most of the hard feelings would have gone away. He didn't for whatever reason. But now we have the chance to have a high quality release of the OOT. Something I though would never happen unless Lucas was dead.
Adywan's Star Wars is a nice variant, but not the Star Wars I and many more will look at the definitive version 20, 30, 100 years down the line.
I want the OUT on BluRay just as much as anyone of you. But let's not let nostalgia delude us. In editing the OUT is a disaster. HUNDREDS of mistakes per film and outdated technology which of course is charming, but loses it charm overtime as we grow out of adolescence. Now Ady is not only fixing errors, he is filling the imaginative gaps I filled in when watching these films as a child. Just by that alone SW:R is superior regardless of popular opinion.
