pragar, if you want to make the world a better place you could be out there with greenpeace, serving the homeless down at your local soupkitchen, or making your voice heard in some political rally, instead of trying to save one of the top ten richest people in the world a couple of hundred dollars. (and as surgent pointed out, you probably haven't saved him a cent....if i didn't see pictures on forums, i just wouldn't see them. full stop)

everyone who visits this site has bought probably at least two copies of each of the star wars films (even ones they didn't like much), and seen each one at the cinema at least twice.....at least!.....add it up, it's a hell of a lot of cash....they also probably own at least a couple of books (whether it's a copy of the script or whatever), some may even collect the toys, t-shirts and other merchandising....

pictures from the set of motion pictures are not a product....they are a PROMOTION for the film....i can search around now and find on set pictures from almost any film in production, and none of those companies are asking me for any money....they're glad i'm even interested, and hope i like what i see and choose to turn up to see their film when it's released.

when most of this stuff is included on the dvd in 12 months time, i will pay for it then (see, i've already decided i'm going to buy it....i haven't even SEEN it yet), i also don't have a credit card....in the mean time i'd really like to know why you care so much?.....i mean, i don't get it.....you should be embarrassed....

(and nice post before surgent....i was mightily impressed....)
