Same here, not going out of my way to slam you, people like what they like, it is just the more I hear people say that they grew up with the Special Editions, it makes me sad, and also brings into sharp focus the growing extent of the intentional damage already done by Lucas' desire to supplant the originals.  As MrPib graciously quoted for us, Lucas basically intended for his newer versions to culturally eclipse the originals or at least physically outlast the mediums it was widely available on (I will boldly assume that quote was from before the GOUT).  Harmy's version will do a TON of good, but only ever on an underground movement kind of level, a Rebellion of sorts, if you will.  If we ever truly hope to avert the SE dominated--dystopian--future, we really need Disney (and to a related degree Fox) to step up and release the OOT on equal or greater footing than the SE's, and soon.  Once nostalgia for the SE's over takes the OOT, it could be all over, and that's just unconscionable.
