It occured to me yesterday that you could legitimately return a Star Wars OT Blu-Ray (or DVD) to the store you bought it from, on the grounds of it not being the original cut of the film(s). Since almost every edition does not state on the cover that they are not the original film(s).
Of course we all know that they aren't the original cuts but it would be a fun and somewhat defiant act to march into a store and pretend to be astonished and shocked that what you purchased wasn't Star Wars. It might go something like this...
Shop Assistant: How can I help you?
Customer: I'd like to return this Blu-Ray.
Shop Assistant: Oh, what's the matter with it?
Customer: When I played it, it wasn't 'Star Wars', which is the film I wanted to buy. It was the 'Special Edition' recut which I didn't want. I'd have thought some kind of warning on the packaging would have been in order. At the very least a mention in the small print. I feel like I've been mislead. Also the picture quality is very poor and looks strangely pink?
Shop Assistant: I'm sorry about that Sir/Madam. Would you like a replacement product?
Customer: Well I looked into it before coming here and I was equally shocked to discover that you can't get the original films on Blu-Ray! So I'd like a full refund.
Shop Assistant: Okay no problem Sir/Madam. If I could just have your reciept?....... etc etc
In some cases, it might not go that easy and could require some further arguing but I'm confident that everybody would get a refund. If everybody returned the Blu-Ray on the same day it might create some ripples. I'm not 100% sure who bears the financial penalty of a returned and therefore tarnished item (The store or the supplier?) but I know it wouldn't be us. It wouldn't cost us a penny/cent (Just a little time out of our day). If the protest was big enough, it could easily get picked up on by the media, given their current rabid thirst for SW related stories and would help alert those members of the public that don't even know they are being sold an inferior product.
Well, who's with me comrades?!?!!
(btw It would be best targetting a large chain rather than d*cking about with a mom 'n' pop video store... if any still exist? Also they have transparent and consistent returns policies)
ADDITIONAL NOTE OF CLARIFICATION:
In short: All of us buy a second copy, open it/unseal it and then return it the next day for a full refund.
