"Original" Star Wars DVD's, Coming Sept. '06

While its cool he finally caved, its pretty crappy for everyone who's bought the modified ones over the past two years ... they'll just have to buy it again.

What do you guys think?

Let's milk that franchise a little bit more, there's still a few dollars left it seems.

I don't think he caved, I think this is planned marketing.

I was happy with the DVD release. They got rid of the worst offenses. Luke no longer screams like a little girl when he falls in Bespin, and Greedo and Han seem to shoot at about the same time.

Although...Admiral Ackbar can still be seen "doing the funky chicken" with some Ewoks at the end of Jedi.

I'm still waiting for a collector's edition set with all 6 movies. You know they're going to do it... probably for Christmas this year, maybe next. I agree I am quite sure this was a marketing ploy.

Hell, I'm still waiting for a box set of episodes I-III. What gives? I'm guessing the 2nd season of Malcolm in the Middle will be out before it is....*sigh*.

I remember when they released them for the last time _ever_ on 'video'. Knew it was a conspiracy hiding that they planned to release them on DVD after selling a silly version to everyone first! OMG! (btw i'm currently reading a book called conspiracies by Joel Levy which rates different ones, it's pretty funny!)

PS: I will buy them, never could bring myself to buy the ones with the farting snuffleupagus.

I am greatly pleased with this news. As far as I'm concerned, the only valid Star Wars movies are the originals. I do have the modified ones at home, but I've not watched them.

Rather than seeing "subpar race/class," see "challenge."
