I grew up watching these films.  I went to each of the three original releases at least 10 times each with my friends.  I (or, more often...my parents) purchased just about every Star Wars toys around at the time.  I helped to make George Lucas a millionaire MANY times over.  I cannot believe that he would completely change & re-do the films that made him so completely rich...& made so many people happy.  If he wants to release these new "& improved" versions along with the originals that would be one thing.  But, to change the originals so that they almost don't even appear to be the same movies is a tragedy.  I WILL NOT buy these DVDs & I refuse to watch the next film when it comes out.  The last two have been pure crap anyway...there's no reason to think it will be any better.
