I actually prefer the DVDs and can't wait for more edits, seriously.

I also love the Ewoks and even the TV movies about them. I was a kid when Star Wars was released (hmm, in 83 I was 7) and I will always see them as kids movies. I love kids movies though, and will always think of myself as a kid.

I really don't need any of the fan edits, they are perfect the way they are now, the newest versions.

I'd actually like to have the 1997 verisions on DVD also, just so I can have all three versions. I just love everything fitting together like a puzzle, even if you have to cut the edges off some of the pieces so they fit, as George has done. I just wish they would have added Jimmy Smits to ANH. That would have been cool. Maybe just before Aldeeran blew up, he could be there talking to his wife, waiting for Leia to return.

The main version I will always watch will be the official DVDs, until Lucas updates them even further.

Does ... not ... compute.
If they are perfect now, why would you watch any further updates, which are necessarily worse than what you've got now? From a philosophical standpoint, you've identified the platonic ideal of Star Wars. Anything else falls onto a continuum between that, and not-Star-Wars. Since you've got the platonic ideal now, the next version of the trilogy will be somewhere else on that continuum, it won't be the endpoint. It won't be the perfection you've got now. Willfully going from perfection to imperfection is, in Christianity, the Original Sin. It's also damned irrational. From an economics standpoint, you're saying that you've got zero demand for something, but you're going to buy it anyway. And once you've got it, it'll actually have a negative utility value, so it'll make you feel bad when you watch it. And you'll have less wealth. It's like you're some kind of Lucasian ascetic, giving your money to the rich and flogging yourself in the middle of an otherwise pleasant day.

Well, that's not the definition of perfect. I'd love to be important enough to go around redefining words, but I'm not, I'm stuck with English as it currently exists. (And a smattering of words from a few other languages.) I suspect marioxb is, too.

So, can anyone tell me, what are the exact differences with the two Holiday Specials on myspleen? I don't wanna spend a week or two downloading something that I already have. Plus I don't have too much HD space right now.

For the wothless dreck that is the SWHS, of course. (Okay, I kind of like the Bea Arthur and Jefferson Starship numbers.) It's heavily padded with extras, some of which are still commercially available, and some of which shouldn't be available anywhere. Oddly enough, it seems to be missing Bentframe's Flash toons; seeing Jabba sing "O Holy Night" in Huttese would've truly completed the experience.

Inasmuch as the Holiday Special, itself, can actually be recommended.

Please don't tell me you actually did this as a child! You couldn't figure out how the puzzle worked, so you simply made it fit? You see, in a puzzle, the pieces are created with the sole purpose of fitting together. If they don't fit together, then you don't have a puzzle. And you don't take your puzzle of the Golden Gate Bridge and try to combine it with a puzzle with a puzzle of the Statue of Liberty. They aren't meant to fit together, and so they won't unless you deface them. What the prequels should have been was the other half of the puzzle, or, no... a small little corner whose detail you can't quite see. Its clarification isn't necessary, but it would be nice to know what was in that corner. Those are what the prequels should have been. A part that's custom made to fit the existing puzzle. Instead, you have the orignals as the Statue of Liberty, and the prequels as the Golden Gate Bridge, and Lucas tries his damndest to make this implausible situation fit.

Well, I was trying to be funny with that puzzle thing and no, I never did that. On the other hand, I should have used this analogy. I bet EVERYONE has done this. Taking the stickers off of the Rubix Cube because you go so frustrated with it and were happy when you could pretend that you got all the colors lined up again.
But I do love every version of Star Wars out there, the newer the better. I can't look at Darth Vader and not see Hayden Christsensen inside the suit, which is a good thing by the way. I can easilly see the movies looking like they were filmed AFTER Sith, which is the way it should appear. Yeah they were filmed before, so what? I think it turned out great the way it did.
Hey, wouldn't it be cool if Jake Lloyd did a cmeo as little Luke somewhere in the TV series? Maybe this is only a question for Adamwankenobi. By the way, when I was little my mom said I looked like Luke Skywalker. I used to have blond hair and it was even in the same style as Jake's in TPM. Yeah, I liked Star Wars as a child, but because it has explosions, fighting, ewoks, lightsabers, and cool toys. That's all. I didn't care about or understand any of the technical aspects. So go ahead and change them and make them better, as good as the prequels, technology speaking.
As a matter of fact, did anyone see the 2004 (or was it 2005?) MTV movie awards post show? Where they had this fake award for this pretend critic that liked EVERY movie? "Wow! I'm watching a MOVIE!! This is great! I have popcorn! Yeah!! Awesome" and he gave like 5 stars to movies like Gigli and stuff? Well, that guy kinda is me. If the movie is entertaining/ has a lot of action/ is funny (any combination) and not totally boring, it gets an A+ in my book. Never had any desire to see Gigli though.

You know something, it's nice to see an original fan who appreciates the PT and doesn't get so upset over it. Wow. But anyway, yeah, if done correctly, I think a Jake Lloyd cameo as young Luke would be cool. It might even be OK if he made occasional appearances.
