SirHenryPercy, I say this with the utmost respect:

I think you're missing the big picture of originaltrilogy.com. Our intent is not the bash the hell out of the Star Wars Prequels or the Special Editions. We have a few forums discussing what we do or don't like, but most of the forums here are about either fan-edits and preservation edits.

It's true that at the time before Disney bought Lucasfilms, Lucas had the rights to "Star Wars" and he could tinker them to his heart's content. We, the fans, simply want to have the choice to pic which versions we'd like to own in our collection. I'd also like to point out that if the unaltered versions has not be as successful as they were in the late 70's and early 80's, Lucas wouldn't have had the money to finance his special editions. Many of us OT fans are able to see that and we want the versions we saw to be given the same care in restoration that the revisions received.
