I kinda like the "Back to School" ads and season in general because it means my favorite season, autumn, is just around the corner. I do agree that the ads seem to be coming out earlier and earlier, I saw back to school ads right around 4th of July which just seems WAY too early.

It's pretty much identical to how the Christmas stuff has been appearing earlier and earlier every single year, to the point where it's hitting stores in September now.  Ridiculous!

I saw Halloween stuff at my local grocery store back in the middle of July!

Ok, so I saw that the "unaltered" versions were coming out and I was psyched and really excited... then I found out it was non-anamorphic and I was sorta bummed... then I found out it was transfers from 1990's techology, and I was even more bummed.

So, do we know if Lucas is going to clean these up at all like the 2004 Trilogy DVD release? Is he at least going to sharpen them and fix some of the old classic errors like the boxes floating around the tie fighters and whatnot?

I was so excited for this "unaltered version" that I was ready to shell out cash to reserve a copy at my local video store, but now I think I'm going to have to wait to see what everyone else says, maybe try to rent them to see how crappy the quality is.

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to drop in and say hey! I am a regular poster over at RS and decided to sign up here too. As far as collecting and Star Wars... I collect mostly vintage and have about 30 carded figures. I don't collect anything modern unless its R5-D4 (focus I have been working on). If you want to know more or just say hi feel free to send me a PM or email.
