Ah, the infamous, "Lucas raped my childhood" angle used so often on the TF.N boards to describe OT purests. Great image.

R2,

I totally know where you're coming from. I may have said this before but:

I don't hate Mr. Lucas. Far from it. I am very grateful to him for giving us the Star Wars universe, something I've cherished since childhood. Still, I wonder how he would feel if I could reach into his brain & alter his childhood memories. I'm guessing he wouldn't be happy either.

I have nothing against the Star Wars fans that WANT the Ruined (oops, sorry...I mean) "Special" Edition on DVD. More power to them. However, I think it's the fans like me who want the ORIGINAL versions of Episodes IV, V & VI on DVD that are getting the short end of the stick.

I will not give up hope. Yes, I hear that Lucas & his associates say they won't be putting the original versions on DVD. However, I'm hoping the SE will sell SO MANY copies that Lucas will see putting the original versions on DVD as a further lucrative project.

Then again, would it take POOR sales to convince him to do so?

HAN SHOOTS FIRST!

Best wishes,
sidemachine

Very nice, very funny, but I would do a poster with Greedo shooting first, the lame Jabba, Haiden over Sebastian Shawn, the new emperor, and GL with bags of money, smiling, saying things like "screw you, fan boys!"

What about my "A picture is worth a thousand words" thread with the pic of greedo ready to shoot Han (who's sitting next to Jar-Jar)" That'd make a good cover too.

it'd be interesting to take a poll as to who amongst us will actually be buying the September DVD release of the trilogy, I know there has been a lot of talk about people boycotting the new set, and while I think it's to be commended, I'm just sceptical of how large a scale of a boycott it would take to actually make a noticable dent in sales of the OT set.

I think despite the special addition(s) changes made, there is no way that sales for this new set won't go through the roof, I don't think the people at Fox or Lucasfilm will really notice how many UNITs they AREN't selling because of fans opposed to the changes, Whereas they may take more notice of a 60,000+ petition signed by fans who are willing to shell out for a set of Original theatrical Versions.

If Fox were able to pressure Lucasfim into doing pan&scan versions of the films because of sales, I don't understand why they can't lobby George into releasing the originals, I'd be happy to buy both sets.
