I did not buy the Star Wars Blu Ray set. Nor do I have any plans on ever doing so.
I won't buy them because:
* I find the 3 Prequels completely unwatchable
* Georgie has fucked up '
A New Hope' and '
Return of the Jedi' to the point of them, too, being unwatchable.
The changes to '
Empire' are minimal (and unnecessary)... if he hasn't destroyed that one yet, I might pick it up on blu ray as a single disc... when it becomes available. So far it appears you can only buy the movies in "Trilogy Packs".
LAME!!!
The main beef I have is that Lucas refuses to make the unaltered
ORIGINALS available. Lucas wants to wipe those versions out of History. He has previously stated, "
Even the 35 million [video] tapes out there wont last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the [Special Edition] version."
(American Cinematographer, Feb 1997)
But for those who did buy the dvd set and those who do enjoy the Prequels & Special-Special Editions...
Enjoy! To each his own. I make no judgements on fans.
