This mess has even attracted the attention of televisions greatest detective, Adrian Monk... ;)

Now THERE'S an eye catching headline... Original Star Wars Trilogy, "I'd rather kick myself in the nuts." says one unhappy fan. :D

I don't see anything, Greg, what are you seeing?

For the record, I really don't care about making any statements to anyone about anything, the reason i'm not buying them is because I simply don't want them anymore. I've always been a bigger fan of the SE's anyway, I only wanted the originals for historic purposes. But the hell with it...

As a sidenote, Jack W, you've got one of the best sigs on this entire board lol. I've been thinking of adding Camilla Belle to my sig, saw her last night in the When a Stranger Calls remake and she just floored me. :) Okay, continue, sorry. ;)

The way I look at it is simple, when Lucas puts these dvd's out and then they don't really sell the way he'd hoped they would, it will be ABUNDANTLY clear to him why that is thanks to threads like this as well as elsewhere on the net and in print. There won't be any misunderstandigs between...

Damn! Are they that cheap now? Wow, I remember buying the one I had back in 1991 for almost $400. I might just get one for the hell of it if they're that cheap.

There's another way around this whole issue of "I don't want to give Lucas my money yet I want the OT", forget buying an LD player and those LD's off of ebay, just tell your wife, friend, co-worker or whomever that you would like them for Christmas. They buy them with their money, you don't...

Yeah, that is a catchier tune, but it lacks that certain slash-my-wrists-country-song-fodder sense of dispair that's called for here.

Actually, if I had to pick a song to mirror this situation, it would be 'Everybody Hurts' by REM.

Won't happen with me, once I make up my mind about something it's usually for keeps, when I see this in stores i'll just keep walking, as far as i'm concerned, passing this up will be just as easy as passing up pan-n-scan and open matte. As for the gift thing, everyone I know who would give...

Yes, well, I was going to go with "I'm ready to ignite my saber and get in there" but that just wouldn't have come out right.

LOL, you mean like some sort of high powered "intervention"? :laugh: Someone could lead George someplace under false pretenses, then when they get there George unexpectedly walks into a room full of his famous friends and peers and then they sit him down and confront him about his OT issues...

It's so funny about GL, I mean you see him in interviews and on documentaries and he looks, by all accounts, to be a big, friendly, mild-mannered, Santa Claus-like man, but boy, he is one stubborn SOB when it comes to his trilogy. I don't want to bring myself to think anything bad about him...

Thanks. I guess you could say that i've effectively picked up my own personal emperor and thrown him down the shaft. ;)

Okay, after wrestling with this issue for the past couple of days, i've come to a decision, you guy's have convinced me...I won't be buying these. I'm being serious, it feels wrong, I would feel so freakin' guilty if I bought these knowing what I know and I just wouldn't be able to enjoy them...

I hear what you guy's are saying, but Robert's post just raised a terrifying scenario, and worse, one we can't disprove because when it comes down to it we don't really know what is going through the flanneled one's head. What IF that is his plan, we just don't know.

Robert W, welcome to the forum, even though you've been a member since 2003. ;) I like your points and IF this release is a test than any chance of future visitations to the OOT don't appear likely. Something to think about, guy's, what if Robert's right? Things to ponder...

Yeah, my business sense sucks. :D

My opinon on this is that all of the negative backlash Lucas is getting right now, the emails, the letters, the calls the negative reviews ay Amazon and papers and magazines printing all of this negative press, is going to end up forcing his hand in one direction or another. He'll either pull...

I doubt it, or they've got cojones the size of the Death Star itself.

Oh please, give me anything that resembles a break with that. So, just because some actually are going to get this release your making a judgement call on their loyalty to quality, their qualifications to be here and the notion that they don't understand what is happening? What are you basing...

I have to concur with Ron that the fight that this forum waged is staggering and I am confident that if it were anyone else besides Lucas, they would have run for the hills and gave the fans what they wanted about 10 pages back. This is why I love this place, we don't take any shit from anyone...

One also has to wonder about those who say that they're done with SW but will still secretly buy this set and just keep hush about it. ;) Hey, it happens, hell i've done it in the past lol.

"Bring em' on! I prefer a straight fight to all this steakin' around!" Hey, had to get my quote in somewhere. ;)

Beautiful, you nailed it. :emoji_thumbsup:

Yeah, and he's got the wrong guy with me.

I really don't know what to say to that exceot that I would sooner scoop out my own eyes with a rusty spoon than watch pan-n-scan, so that does not apply to me.

Yes considering that they are reading this thread...PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS RELEASE! Thanks.

Yes, but they are painfully aware by now that this release isn't being recieved well, but they are going through with it nontheless, so, what are my options, to ignor the release or buy it? Well, considering how many will not be buying this release, it will make little difference if I and few...
