Every time something like this comes out (despite my HUGE reservations), I always find myslef even more disappointed. I know it's coming, it's just... when it gets here.... it sucks that much more....
I couldn't have expressed it better.
I just got my 1st blu-ray player for Christmas, and I've been having a blast watching Rocky Horror and a few James Bond blu-rays- they all look great.
I said that I would never buy these films on blu-ray if the original versions weren't included, and this press release hasn't said anything that will change my mind.
What a shame. :-(

I was saddened to hear of his passing today. He was a wonderful artist.
He directed my favorite movie, and I will always have immense respect for him.
I hope his version of ESB will be given proper treatment again, someday.

Would anyone here be interested in participating "sticker campaign"? We could do something similar for the blu-ray set as well and it wouldn't be difficult.
Quiet, but effective enough to raise awareness.

It would be great if we could somehow organize, and print off stickers saying something like "this boxed set contains the 2004 version of Star Wars, not the original 1977 version", and surreptitiously stick them to the boxes at local stores.

Also, my "Han Shot First" clip has gotten over 5,000 additional hits since the CNN article. I changed the text last nite to drive the point home more forcefully for the benefit of anyone who isn't aware of the history.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. :-)
I sometimes wonder if you should remove the zoom tag so that it stays boxed in on all four sides like on the official release.
That's a good point- maybe I should revert the clips back to letterboxed to better illustrate the point.
Thanks for commenting on my ROTJ clip, btw. You have no idea how many "It makes more sense for Hayden to be a force ghost because...." comments I get every day (most of which I delete). UGH!

One more thing. Mark Hamill is lying. He was either lying before or after this scene was released.
I think he is lying after the fact. George needs him to lie, if he doesn't than George is screwed on this scene and would have wasted his money on a bombshell extra scene that would go a long way in selling a crap load of Star Wars Blu-Rays. Its all about the money to George and Mark has decided to support George's "vision".
I don't think Mark is lying, but I think if he was lying it would be now, when there's some incentive for him to do it. There was no reason for him to lie to that fan at the comic convention a while back when he sprung the question on him.

He actually believed that what he saw was the remains of the original Death Star, and that half of it was blown away.
I guess that was a common misconception. I thought the same thing, only it was upon seeing the promo photos of DSII prior to the release of the film.

I have several of Sansweet's books and there's no doubt he's been a great fan and a supporter of the franchise, but the fact is he became a LFL sycophant, and whether he wanted to or not- told an outright LIE to the fans when he presented the GOUT DVDs.
Maybe he voluntarily left LFL, or maybe he was let go, but I hope whichever is the case, that he's having second thoughts about being an accessory to the current LFL culture, and I hope that he'll end up doing something constructive and positive for the preservation of the films that we all love.

It stopped being fun for me in 1997 with the release of the SEs. Unfortunately, my love for all-things-Star Wars is now a love/hate thing. I love the originals, I hate the SEs and what's been done to the OT.

Love or hate the guy, he has an impressive collection of SW items a lot of us wish we could have had, or still owned today. To label the entire collection "crap", or wish it to burn is really not cool. :/
Sorry I wasn't clear, I wasn't labeling the ENTIRE collection "crap", I have no problem with vintage OT stuff- you can probably guess that I have quite a few vintage pieces myself. I really meant the past 10+ years of prequel, SE & clone wars stuff which I'm sure he has a lot more of than anything else.
And I think JediTray said it would be better for the stuff to go to charity than for it to "burn"......

I don't know about the UK, but in the US they pretty much stopped the factory-folding of movie posters in the early-mid 1980s. Maybe JT34 worked at a cinema after that time period (?)adywan said:

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: ">LAMO that poster will never sale unless the buyer is total STAR WARS nerd. I can buy re-print issues for under £10.00 pounds what a joke! Plus the fact its all creased up and not rolled up!
</span>
......And you say that you once worked in the cinemas so you should know that at that time many posters of that size were given to the cinemas folded and not rolled because of the size. i have a supersize poster of the Star Wars / Empire double bill that i got direct from my local cinema and that was folded exactly the same way when they received it.
