While a bit pop-culture and light hearted, it's an indelible part of every geek's soul, so perhaps it's worthy of a front page discussion:
Over at Movie Pilot, Alex Rosenhiem puts forth a compelling argument for preservation of art and of shared cultural experience and why that matters. He couches it in the context of revisionism as applied to the Han/Greedo Cantina scene, long a source of nerd rage, countless arguments and is even it's own meme. The moment is a pivotal one for the development of the Han Solo character, but more importantly Rosenhiem argues that Art, Star Wars included, gives us access to the past and where we were at a certain point in time when we first experienced it.

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Throw away your VCR. The Laser Disc version, converted to DVD, is available at several locations around the internet.
And now that Lucas sold control of the company, he can't stop Disney releasing the remastered originals, to a waiting market. Knowing Disney, then they'll take it off the market for years, and r re re release it from the "vault" periodically.
