I'll buy them, but not without mumbling and grumbling to myself.
OOT on DVD, finally!

But am very excited it's finally being recognized, and put on DVD.
And I will continue to support letter-writers, and educating the public about it.

Someone needs to email LFL and tell them to look at Amazon.com.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Ahh, hell, I won't get these. George Lucas can say whatever he wants, but I'm not going to trust that I can motivate him with my money anymore. i'm through being ripped off by his stupid decisions. I'll wait until blue ray and hope something real is done by then. Otherwise, I'll put all of my hope into fan preservations.
...maybe.

"The chief selling point for this release is that it supposedly contains the original version of the film on the bonus DVD. This is not true. It in fact contains the Laserdisc version of the film made in 1993 on DVD and is not a dedicated DVD transfer of the original quality (if it were, it would most likely be released in the anamorphic DVD format).
The only people who should buy this DVD are those who don't mind wasting money and those who either don't care about the original trilogy or want to support the original trilogy even knowing the details of this obviously substandard DVD release."

I'm just looking forward to the awesome preservations that will come out of it.

Besides the fact that these were the versions, (the definitive collection) that I had hoped would come to dvd since it's advent.
that being said I do not understand lynn hale refering to the original negative being altered in such a way that we can never have the original orginals again in HD format or even a theatrical re-release because they have been destroyed. I have a horror of an image of good old georgie standing over a trim bin cutting the original negative and throwing away those scenes he thought was not his vision.
I suppose he can't stand the fact that the first two star wars films the original versions were slated by the government as to be preserved, and that they are the versions AFI nominated on it's list of top 150 films.
They claim they can't afford the funds to retore them?, cannot or will not?
Then how come I was at theforce.net the other day and saw that he put a lot of money into cutting together a 3D version of phantom menace for release in 2007, a.k.a. the new cgi yoda version as seen on revenge of the sith's second disc. In fact I have a sneaky suppition that we will see special editions of the prequels before we know it, and uber HD versions of the 2004 cgi crappy versions with new tinkering.
Dare I say it it appears now that he apparently was the luckiest one trick pony ever with his success of star wars, will continue to tinker with his films.
Of course in his college years and during the original star wars trilogy it appeared he was a genius of design and editing, but that has been superceded by computer graphics and shoddy storytelling.
I can sum up the release of the original versions in one word bittersweet, I wanted to shout for joy at the annoucement but was also livid with anger over the treatment of the most beloved films of my childhood by Lucas. and his shitting all over them publicly and not offering them in an anamorphic 16:9 remastered form.

I tried requests on one of the Star Wars newsgroups but my ISP has crappy retention.
I'll give myspleen.net a shot. Thanks.

Ah, but I voted undecided, right? Well, I also have reasons for NOT buying them. 1) Non-Anamorphic. 'Nough-Said. 2) It also contains the 2004 versions. No thank you, I already have these. 3) Money. I can't keep shelling out cash! 50 for the 2004 set (though, granted, this was a birthday present) and another 30 for bootlegs. That's 70 so far. If I shop smart, and I have been looking around, it'll be another 40 for this set. 110 just to reach a definitive DVD. 4) It would almost sicken me to have a set where the OOT is on disc two as a bonus feature. I can imagine the menu now....

OOT FILM
GAME DEMO
Of course, I have come up with a solution to this so that it at least isn't on disc 2. I take out the OOT disc, make my own cover art on the computer, and give it its own case, leaving the 2004 version to rot, or to lie on my desk waiting to be sold on Ebay.
For all these reasons, I am undecided, though I am leaning toward purchasing them.
