I am not arguing against the release of the original trilogy.  I am 
arguing for Lucas' right to decide what he wants to release.  If he 
released the original and suppressed the remake, I'd be arguing that 
that is his right and perogative.

I am arguing against those who have the chutzpah to believe that they 
can dictate to an artist what he should and should not produce.

What did it Morph from?  My curiousity is piqued.  Does the DVD of 
Chicago lack scenes that were in the theatrical release?  Does it have 
added scenes that weren't in the theatrical release?
