What about George giving us the respect we deserve? We still are the ones that gave him the ability to make these films. The trilogy wouldn't exist at all. It would have been a single movie that did jack at the box office.

Like I said, he has every right to do what he wants with his movies. We'd just like to have the original version preserved on DVD in case of an overzealous VCR.

And, no, the 1995 Faces edition is no longer on the market. They were pulled by LFL in 1996 pending the release of the SE in theaters. If you are seeing it in retail stores, then they are selling it in violation of LFL edict. They can be purchased used from eBay, but, as with any auction, actually winning is never a guarantee.

I do have my copies of the OT. Both the 1990 and 1995 releases as well as my 1997 SE release. I just worry because when VHS reaches a certain age or number of playbacks it suffers from magnetic dropout as well as fraying which causes VCRs to eat the tape. I just want to have a copy on DVD (I'd prefer an officially licensed copy) of the OT in non-SE format so I can show my kids the whole story. Not just the SE. I'd like them to see it the way I did. I can show them almost any other movie that has ever been made on DVD in its original version, even ET (and if it's not available, it likely will be in the near future). So why can't I do this with SW? That's the only movie I can't do that with and, apparently, never will be able to.

Is that good enough for you? I tried to keep the whining down to a minimum, for your sake.

Okay, what did we LIKE about the Special Editions?

The Biggs scene was cool because it existed from when the film was originally shot. I've never had a problem with splicing back in scenes that were originally shot for a movie but cut out for the sake of time. I love that about special edition or director's cuts of movies. But when you create whole new scenes for a movie. That's a whole other story.

Happens in the first book of the New Jedi Order entitled Vector Prime. Just FYI. But this is something like 25 years after ROTJ in the timeline. Plenty of time in between that some halfassed storyline could fill up. I still hope it doesn't happen.
