+1 on waiting for the original Stars Wars on Blue Ray.

Totally.

Harmy made some pretty good Fan edits of the OT if you are itching to watch them in an unaltered state.

I actually have the luck of having a limited edition dvd set (put out by best buy I think, my wife did all the research on that) that has the original and remastered versions. The wife knows me well and she got those for me for a birthday gift. But I don't mind Lucas wanted to go back and change his films, but I will lobby to keep the original commercially accessible. Those versions I got came by way of e-bay. Ultimately it's Lucas' vision/product. I don't think he, or any creator, owes me anything. But I think that comes out of my attitude that anything produced in our digital age is of the moment. But I too am waiting for a good box set that sums it all up. I also don't own the new movies yet.

Have you ever heard of the Machete viewing order?

I did actually, it was fun to hear him talk about it though.

I don't watch it in that order because I mostly watch Episodes IV-VI when I want to watch Star Wars. Outside that, sometimes I revisit the prequels, in that case I actually think Episode I is the best film, which isn't a very popular opinion. smile
