As such, I will be the only person in the continental United States who hasn't purchased the trilogy on DVD, so look for me at your nearest carnival freakshow soon. (In Lucas' defense, he's not the first person to do this--Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd often had difficulty refraining from fine-tuning their classic works.)<br /><br />I do, however, agree wholeheartedly with you on the issue of colorization. Family and friends know not to bring up the subject around me, as it tends to turn ugly--kind of like how a fight will break out in a bar in some movie Western.Ivan G Shreve Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067177808320053382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1096123162020420312004-09-25T09:39:00.000-05:002004-09-25T09:39:00.000-05:00Bill,

I think my concern on the new version is that I remember all the hoopla of shipping classes to stand in line all day in Westwood to see the first midnight showing of each of the movies. In this way the event and the movies are connected and nostalgic in my mind.<br /><br />AS to what Lucas has done, you're right. The're his movies and he can do what he wants. I'm willing to give the second version a try and will place them in the bookcase just as I do with ARCs and First Editions and the few manuscripts that I have.Mystery Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810382773710059763noreply@blogger.com
