So what does everyone thing? Should I write reasons to hate the release of the Special Edition DVDs? Something to tide everyone over until my Episode III articles?

I really think that you should get to writing them. But the final choice, however, is yours.

Yes please do! Would love to read it.
Would be interesting to see if the SE would rack up as many reasons as the PT. Probably not but I mean, the Greedo incident alone is worth at least two reasons

Absolutely! It will help to tide us over until Ep III is released.

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.

Well, the support is 100% in favor. How can I argue with that?

Of course there is the dilemma of actually having to purchase them.

Hey, it happens. Even I'm going to have to buy them too... out of sheer obligation, but I pray that it'll be the last time.

Maybe you can get a Media copy. In the interests of Entertainment Weekly, at least.

now I'm actually excited about the release date.

(I'm still waiting for my Ebay videos.)

That would be beyond sweet. Doubtful though.

Let's just be thankful Lucas knew better than to try to edit midichlorians into the OT. I mean can you imagine Yoda even saying the word?

J m HofMarN, don't be so naive! Don't think for a second that when the Special Edition DVDs come out that they won't have EVEN MORE new footage spliced into them!

If midichlorians are mentioned in the new DVDs I wouldn't be at all surprised. I'd say that it would ruin the whole thing for me but, good lord, that happened back in '97.

I hear you ND. I can see this travesty overlooked by 84% of the buying public who presume this is the original. But with the rise of "home theater," more people would be attracted to the thx sound and digitally brighter picture for their Big screens.

And for fans by and large it's the only paper in town. what are you going to do? So let's enjoy the standards of the prequels, but in the original films! That sounds Great! I can't wait!

if you like whiz-bang action and that SW brand on your film collection, this will be a fine investment.

I think I can see, dimly-lit, jar jar, a little blurred at the bottom, positioned off to the side on the Original SW poster.
