Well I could go either way. I sometimes argue my case with preservation out of nostalgia but not always. I just think when it's done its done. Once it's released to the public it should become a product of the era it was produced in. Now granted if my introduction to Star Wars had been via the SE's rather than the OOT I may actually be a SE supporter. I've found I've generally grown fond of the versions of film, music, etc. that I was introduced to first. Nonetheless I agree from a purist perspective that the OOT should still be made available. As someone who grew up on the OOT, do I particularly like the SE's?? Personally no. Do I object to their existence?? Yes and no. Yes in the sense that it's made the OOT obsolete to the fan base who prefer Lucas' 'unfinished' versions. No in the sense of it allowed it's creator to 'finish' what he claims was unfinished. That said, if both versions were to be packaged together I would and I'm sure many others would not object to this. At least it will please both camps. I just don't buy this there has to be 'one'. Ridley Scott released a Blu Ray set with like 6 or 7 versions of Blade Runner. If there has to be one, then speaking as a purist it should be the original.
