Well if the rumors are true, I'm both ecstatic and a bit upset, mostly ecstatic. My preferred version of the SW Trilogy will always be the original. My first Trilogy was the 'One Last Time' VHS set from 1995 so that's how far back I go with the originals. After being treated to the poorly transferred DVD releases in 2006 any news that the originals are getting a restoration job is a huge thumbs up on my end. I'm always for preserving things in their original form and the OUT deserves to be preserved. To that end I'm ecstatic. Now to why I'm a bit upset. It was actually pointed out earlier in this thread that other sites are discussing what changes should remain from the SE. Now I'll even admit that there are minor changes from the SE I wouldn't mind being inserted into the originals (removal of matte lines, lightsaber adjustments, etc.) but thats about it. However at the same time I feel that's detrimental to keeping them to their true original form. I'm also torn between the idea on whether or not I want 'Episode IV A New Hope' in the opening crawl. On one hand without it its true to the 1977 theatrical version but on another hand it doesn't fit well with the chronology of the series. Going back to how people are discussing what should stay and go I'll admit I'm one of those people where I want everyone to be happy. We must understand that there are as many SE followers as OUT fans. My view is that both should be packaged together similar to how they were in '06 but of course featuring the restored original! That way its even for everyone. :)
