Did it ever occur to you that most of the people who saw the SE fans went simply to see the movies in the theatre at all?

And if they only saw it once, it've been their first time seeing the SE anyway!

And NONE of my friends prefer them.

I wouldn't go as far as to ban Jimbo.

He can make some good points, when he isn't telling us "fuck you" or "your an asshole" or something equally stupid.

But most of the time, he's just posting crap. but don't ban him for it.
He's kinda funny.

I detect a flaw in your argument.

You say that they shouldn't be called the Special Editions, because they are not the same since they have been slightly altered since then.

Yet at the end of your post, you say they should be called the Original Trilogy because they are the same movies.

I don't really see why AOTC should/would be the best Star Wars film.

I still think the original Star Wars, A New Hope (hate to call it that, btw) is the best SW film yet.
Followed closley by ESB, and ROTJ.

The prequels are good too. But it's very hard to compare them.
All in all, the prequels aren't as good as the originals.

I love AOTC, but it just can't hold a candle to the original films, even ROTJ.

I am 14, btw.

I really don't like the Emporer's hologram being changed.

It just wouldn't be the same scene.

I do not mind the prequels.

In fact, I love them! I honestly think the prequels are great precursors to the OT.
I watch them just as often as the original trilogy.

But what I don't like is altering the OT in order to "better fit in" with the PT.

I mean, WTF is up with that?! THAT is what I despise.

And THAT is why the DVDs will never touch my hands or even be associated with me whatsoever.

They are really expensive.

I'd like one, I really would.

I'm stuck with my $500 tv for a while. Probably a long while. Like twenty years.

But you never know, allthough it is rare that cinemascope films get released in letterbox on TV,
there have been cases of that too (like Alien 3)

That's what I hate about broudcasting.

You need to have a special TV to pick up widescreen signals.
I'd like to have a proper movie shown without it being butchered without having to pay a lot more for a high-definition TV!

I have a website at geocities.com, and I was trying to insert one of those nifty OT.com banners to the bottom.

But the "pagebuilder" program it uses won't let me.

Please help me support the OT.com petition!

the site is www.geocities.com/kirkshelton2005/kirks_web_page.html if that helps at all.

All I know is that I didn't say that.

I never expected for a boycott to actually work. But I still don't want to buy them.

Theforce.net says that the Passion of the Christ is looking for a TV deal.

Does this mean they'll be showing a butchered pan-n-scan version? Or is there chance for a letterbox presentation?

He has no interest at all in releasing the original version because he "feels the SE is the final version/stage of the Star Wars Trilogy." He isn't interested in putting out a version that "illistrates how it got to this point."

SO WHY THE HELL IS HE RELEASING THE SE NOW, AND AN ULTIMATE EDITION LATER?!

By this logic, RELEASE THE ORIGNALS!!!!

No, bad idea.

Different directors can choose whatever aspect ratio they want. That's an artistic trait of a film.

And the films being the special editions, these DVDs are a box of crap.
