But really, how much have Thinking fans given Lucas lately? Comparatively?
For myself, the few SW purchases I have made in recent memory are the DVD set of the OT which I got on the day they were released at the cheapest retail outlet for $36 or so and tax, a ticket to ROTS when it came out (a few days into the release during a weekday afternoon show, I wan't going to sleep on a line to see it) and $5 for a bootleg DVD I watched a couple of times and is here somewhere. I didn't buy the ROTS DVD release or any of the tie ins, especially since I don't care for Burger King's food, so no wristwatch for an extra $2. If some OT bonus package were released, I'd be tempted, but ittle else would.

I bought a combination ROTS plastic drink cup (complete with the worst paint-by-numbers rendition of the Obi-Ani duel imaginable) and Obi Wan toy from a toy shop in Osaka for 1,500 yen.

I'm fine with some of the ESB scenes not showing up on the DVD's because they really werent finished to begin with. About all they have is 3PO ripping off a sticker.
On the other hand, the Anchorhead scenes were shot completely, but later scrapped. I'm not saying they should be inserted into the film (after all, George has done enough "adding")...but they should have been made available to the true fans.

First off, where do you live? Was there really THAT big of a line that you couldnt have hung out for a little? I live in San Diego and while the theater (a 4 year old AMC 24 room theater) i went to didnt have people spending the night for months at a time, the day of the opening I got in line at 3 with a large group of my buddies and we all waited until the opening. It was really the most fun I had had in a LONG time. All sorts of people dressing up, fans having lightsaber battles with the security guards. The line at the end of the night was long, yes....but if you pull up to the theater at 10:45 expecting to be first in line for the midnight showing...well, you're just dumb as rocks to begin with.
To give you an estimate of how long the lines were by me, I'll get a pic of the area from google maps and draw in some commentary via MS Paint or photoshop.
SECOND....if its a bootleg DVD...Lucas didnt get anything for it...so you cant really count that for anything.

I'm not sure how much 1,500 yen is in dollors (under 20 though, to be sure). I saw it three times in the UK, and twice in Japan.
But you know, I really don't mind paying money for something I enjoy. I certainly have no desire to see King Kong again, anyway (looking forward to the 4 hour extended DVD cut though!).

As for the Anchorhead and Wampa scenes, I would have liked to see them on DVD, or maybe they could have been redone and the fan could have had the option to insert them into the film like the X-Men DVD does. There are 60 hours of film shot for ESB, so there has to be something neat worth inserting instead of the Vader shuttle scene from unused ROTJ Death Star II docking.No wonder the Imperials didn't capture the Falcon, they were all on the docking bay greeting Vader instead of at their posts! The Anchorhead stuff is odd in that it was shot, retouched, and shown at least once at a fan convention, why not include it for a wider fan base to enjoy?
As for the lines seen by satellite photo, its further proof of people having too much money and time on theor hands to the detrement of their own good. I wonder how many of the folks who slept on lines for months on end (if it was true what happened) later really regretted it.

I'm sure the people in the VERY VERY front might have slept there the night before, but considering I reached my spot in line at about 3 or 3:30 PM, you can see most people just showed up that night. I think out of 24 theaters available, there was something like 15 of them playing the movie, so I knew I was getting in regardless.
However, I really respect your reason for waiting to see it. I know some people that held off and they had piss-poor excuses, but going to see it with your father whom you watched the OT with as a kid is pretty special.
That still being said...waiting in that line was so much fun. I'd say tha I'd do it again, but I dont think there is another series that i care enought to wait 9 hours in line.
Also, I have an episode III bootleg as well that my friend got from his ice cream man. Its a workprint copy, so it has the numbers at the top, but the quality aside from that is pretty good.
My friend owed me a favor, so I cashed it in and had him give me his bootleg.
