You cite an improvement in the mechanics of making the film but not an advance in terms of film itself. In my opinion, obviously, but this is really just a streamlined way to present things we've all already seen.
If you've seen The Phantom Menace and Coraline, you've already seen a version of everything Avatar can give you.
I don't doubt the Avatar technology will be widely adopted, but it's a filmmaking advance rather than a revolution for cinema, in my opinion. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Yes the OT was amazing and better the the PT. Yes the special editions were unnecessary but who fing cares the original three films are amazing and still the same.You can get the god damn original unaltered DVDs of the OT. So go buy them and Stfu.
Nope. Never heard of him. Should I have?
Actually, I really got into SW after seeing The Phantom Menace. Crazy, huh?
One would be better off buying them and using them as frisbees, as they are unforgivably shoddy non-anamorphic knockoffs from an obsolete 1995 analog Laserdisc master, rather snidely tacked on as "extras" to the now-official SE DVD versions. They look like absolute crap by current digital standards, and will make one wonder why they were so blown away visually by the OT in the first place (which , I suspect, was George's intentional subterfuge all along). Until the unaltered originals are given a proper digital release(if at all), I doubt anyone will be shutting the F up any time soon.
.One of my favorite things about the original Star Wars films is that they were made in the late 70's/early 80's. They have the same cinematic quality as Rocky, Jaws, Alien, Blade Runner, The Godfather, and a thousand other amazing films that look like they were made in the 70's.
.I was insulted when I found out that the unaltered movies were not getting cleaned up and given the highest quality transfers, but I bought them once they got cheap and they are my three favorite dvd's of all time. I always knew I loved how 70's movies looked, but I had no idea how much I loved it until I watched Star Wars on dvd for the first time[/B].
Again, I agree with you in principle. It's better to have these versions of the original cuts than nothing at all, of course. However, certainly they deserve much better treatment, and it seems that it's only because of Lucas' stubborn insistance that the altered versions be considered the "correct" ones, that the original cuts are given such a shoddy toss-off.
