Of course you have widescreen.
Only an idiot buys fullscreen

Got mine one week after they came out.

No, but it's used as the primary rallying call by revision detractors. Another major point is the replacement of "Lapti Nek" with "Jedi Rocks" in RotJ, which personally bothers me a lot more than Greedo shooting first, which I don't really care about.
Same here. My reaction to the Greedo change has always been 'meh' or something barely indifferent to that extent. It's the CG Jabba that bugs me (At least he looks semi-decent now. I still can't beleive they can make a perfect CG Yoda that emotes, acts, and fights with a lightsabre, but apparently recreating a ten-foot slug with a rubber mouth is near-impossible. Can't even remember the damn eye color...).

But Jabba is nowhere near the worst change: 'Jedi Rocks' is. At least the original CG Jabba didn't do a song and dance number while the camera zoomed in on the inside of his mouth. :roll: The only way I can get through that scene is by focusing on seeing it purely in-context and that the scene is there not to insult me but rather to show how sleazy and depraved Jabba's tastes are. It's the same perspective I use to find Jar-Jar an ok character, but even he's simply irritating without it. 'Lapti Nek' was nowhere near retarded of a song...

And no, I like the new ending montage. 'Yub yub' was a pretty bad song too. :P

Got it the day it came out, and watched all of them the same day. Gotta love the enhanced visuals.

Nope and I'm not going to get it, I can think of better uses for ~60€.

No. I just don't seem interested in getting them on DVD, since I've seen the movies several times already.

My brother has them on DVD already. I have no income, so it's not like I'm gonna go out and buy them. I effectively have them now, they're just not my property.

I'm waiting for all six in one set. It's not like my barely used VHS tapes are going to die suddenly.

I bought it right after it was released. I saw it, loved it, MUST watch it AGAIN!!!!
