Yes, Greg Tito, you are a weak minded fool. The naysayers that commented on this thread that bashed the prequels, you are the fools who follow him. There are so many things wrong with this thread, and the clueless prequel bashing, I don't even know where to begin.
Okay, here goes:
1) The title of Episodes IV and V, respectively are called "A New Hope" and "The Empire Strikes Back". NOT "New Hope" and "Empire Strikes Back". Type the extra words, be accurate, and have some respect for the full titles.
2) Why the hell would you want to just buy "The Empire Strikes Back"? That's like downloading only the bridge of an awesome song. Lame.
3) The original releases of IV-VI, or the "pre-special editions" will not be in the Blu-Ray set. Period. George Lucas improved them with the special editions - including Greedo shooting first....(you wrote the "late 90s" special editions had Han shooting first.) You got the whole controversy backwards, so how much do you really care about or even understand the change that Lucas did? I don't have the time or desire to explain it to you. Greedo shot first. Next case.
4) The Star Wars saga is comprised of six films. I'll accept two trilogies. You can't discount the prequels. They deepen the Star Wars saga and make you watch the original three in a whole different way.
5) If you "hate the prequels", why the hell would you want them on Blu-Ray??? Don't bother...leave them for the real fans. I don't want them residing in your house.
The Star Wars Saga (all six films) is the greatest gift to cinema. Period. I will buy these movies from Lucasfilm over and over again, as home video technology improves over the years. Why? It's money well spent on timeless filmmaking that's brilliantly executed. They're what movies are all about.
Those who don't get it, enjoy your VHS copies. They are brilliant as well. Brilliant rough cuts. Long Live George Lucas for creating the greatest series of all. Star Wars is Forever.
