September 21, 2004 is tomorrow....The Special Editions are in backrooms waiting to be put on shelves in our favorite stores, there's nothing we can do about that now. Star Wars fans(both old and new school), it's time to seriously develop a strategy/strategies on how we can get the original version on the market (new school, your release is here) for the possible 30th anniversary release. Both schools should put away there differences(for now) and form a plan that will honor us both. I feel we need help from all sources. I feel our approach should be professional, courteous, and to the point. originaltrilogy.com(may the force bless) we need more sites like this.

I'm also a serious fan of Superman The Movie and I look at what the fans did to get Warner Bros.(Lucas is a different kind of monster I'm beginning to see) to release, the extended cut of STM. Although some of us didn't get exactly what we wanted(I wanted a 2-disc theatrical/extended release)I believe most were satisfied with the product. They are now trying to get Warner to release The Donner cut of Superman II. I believe fans devised a friendly written assault, directed towards the CEO'S of Warner Bros. with e-mails and physical letters(atleast with SupermanII.)

Fans/Devotees it is time for the next phase, faith must me optimal, effort must be serious, I will admit, I have no idea on how this is to be done, but the best movements usually start that way. Threaders, start your engines.

MANTRA: THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY WILL HAVE ITS DAY (repeat often)
I will cultivate patience to such a degree, that time itself will grow tired of waiting.

i've thought of everything but considering the fact that we all live far apart there's nothing we could really do in person....

Its really too bad that civil disobedience doesnt apply to this situation. I mean, it would be a lot of fun to just lay in front of GL's car or something, or all of us just go camp right on the edge of SkyWalker ranch, or whateverthehell its called. Too bad he probobly wont ever see the light. I mean seriously, if the prospect of mountains of cash didnt make him release the OT this time, what will?
Im not trying to be dismal. I really hope against hope we can get the OT on DVD, but I just dont think GL is being reasonable. And most people should recognize that you simply cannot battle the unreasonable with reason. I seriously dont even have a clue how we would go about getting the OT.
GL is a fiend.

Sorry if this seems like im not in support of you guys. I truly am, im just at the end of my rope when it comes to trying to figure out GL, and trying to gauge the likelyhood of the OT release.

I agree civil disobedience won't do the trick. But we've got to think of somthing. I refuse to give up.

One thing I learned growing up is "You're not beaten unless you stop trying--or die."

Unless George Lucas gets a machine gun and threatens to systematically hunt us down, I'm going to continue hoping and trying for ways to get the O-OT on DVD.
