No...I'm not sure if I understand if you understand what I'm saying, but in case you don't, I was replying to the post above mine...
Ol’ George has the GOUT, I see.
Besides "The films need to be the way I want them," has Lucas stated anything as to why the Blu-rays became the travesty that they are? — Page 10

There were two interesting disc-related stories today.
One is a recent study predicting that streaming revenue will overtake sales/rentals of physical media in 2016.
The other is that Ghostbusters 2 is hitting blu-ray later this year, which means we can finally say this format has arrived.

Make the movies half the length?
But how would you pack the necessary violence into just 2 1/2 hours?

Easy -- show only the violence and leave pointless things like plot out of the picture.
They already did that with Caligula.

This is if there were six movies as opposed to three.
THERE ARE THREE STAR WARS MOVIES!!
I know that LOTR is what's actually being talked about, but this dumb joke is one of the few in my lame-ass repertoire, so I'm using it anyway.

We need a multi-quote button. So much. I'm kind of morbidly curious about that movie, but don't think I could stomach it.

I perhaps could stomach Caligula -- I have become jaded to so very many different things over the years.

And that link where Drew talks about Lucas watching the OOT and sinking in his chair the way we do when we watch the SE is particularly heartbreaking.
But c'mon, why do you even watch the SE?
I don't watch the SE. I haven't watched anything Star Wars in many years, and until such time as the OOT comes out remastered in 4K (Which will likely happen around the time Richard Dawkins converts to Christianity), I have no intention of doing so. And I have not bought a single goddam thing related to Star Wars since at least the 2005, and I have no intention of doing so again.
OK, I only got that perception from your, "... the way we do when we watch the SE...".
We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

That's not hard to believe when you see all the 5 dollar blu-rays out there lately. And the people who are actually buying the discs seem mostly lame and insufferable, judging by the forums out there. (I've been lurking at bluray.com and HTF, where I see silverwook has been fighting the good OT fight even though there's always some guys ready to swoop in and douche up the Star Wars thread)

Thanks, Baronlando. Some recent posts there make my head hurt though. The less said the better. ;)

I post over at the avsforum occasionally. My sig there had a link to the new petition for a while before someone informed me it was violating the forum rules.
