A few weeks ago, I read that Lucas was upset because the DVD release of Three Stooges shorts was going to be colorized. He felt that they were products of their time and should not be altered so that future generations can enjoy the original work. Whaaaat!? George, isn't this what legions of Star Wars fans have been saying about you and the original trilogy? Personally, I think that if you want to futz around with your work by adding extra bells and whistles, that's fine. I don't think it improves the movies but if it is how you find your jollies, cool. But please make the original cuts of the trilogy available as well. I will not be buying the Star Wars DVD set. Other than a bonus disc with a two hour documentary, this is a bare bones release. Based on Lucas's track record, you can be sure that a super deluxe release of the Star Wars movies will be on the way somewhere down the line. The same goes for the Indiana Jones movies.
