Is it worth my money to buy the blu ray special editions? Or are they just so far removed from the original movies that I would dislike them?
Well, that depends. If you want to own a preservation of the OOT (like Harmy's) or a fanedit of the OT which use the Blu-rays as a source, then yes, you should buy them, if only to avoid legal quandries. Otherwise, skip them; they're total garbage.
