id like to be the first to put my ass and reputation on the line and call bullshit on this. i dont think its gonna happen. i could be wrong, and if so, well, lucas has positioned himself squarely in the way of another 50 bucks from me. goddamnit.

In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie, as well as the original theatrical edition of the film. That means you'll be able to enjoy Star Wars as it first appeared in 1977, Empire in 1980, and Jedi in 1983.

of course it is. I'm an enormous SW fan, and I'm sure I'll buy it, but this is just another way for lucasfilm to squeeze some extra bucks outta us fanboys...

This'll be the Dolby edition... two months after you buy it, Lucas will announce the THX edition will be coming out in Summer, 2007.

I have a copy of the OT in original format burnt on DVD, (not to mention the VHS boxset I have), but I would still want an official copy.
Nostalgia more than anything....
Tubbs Tattsyrup wrote:FUCKING A!
I'm excited. The one thing is - will it be cleaned up a la the 2004 DVD editions? Like the prints cleaned and all that? Cos while I'm all for the original edits of the movies, I want the transfer to look pretty too.
The original films' video quality will not match up to that of the restored versions. "It is state of the art, as of 1993, and that's not as good as state of the art 2006," Ward says.

I really don't see that. Compare the avalanche of VHS versions from the 80's to the handful of versions since the 95 THX vhs boxset. If they were that interested they could have been pumping out DVD versions for the last decade.

Dude, whichever one you get, you'll be looking at another longingly within 12 months....its just the way it is......but, before I get too angry about finding Lucas' dick in my wallet everytime I open it....they are great great great films and I'll still be buying them years from now.......
