copy paste guru at work, also i must be the only other person who doesn't hate the new trilogy, but then again i did vote star trek over star wars, so i am weird
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. See the title crawl to Star Wars before it was known as Episode IV; see the pioneering, if dated, motion control model work on the attack on the Death Star; groove to Lapti Nek or the Ewok Celebration song like you did when you were a kid; and yes, see Han Solo shoot first. ![]() |

I bought the vhs trilogy box set used at my local record store for, I think, three dollars. The tapes are in mint conditon & the box is only slightly worn. This was the set that marked the last time the movies were released before any "digital enhancements".
That is cool that Lucas is finally putting out DVDs of the originals. It's sort of funny though that he seemingly doesn't even care if this offering is an admission that he might have made a few mistakes with his alterations; just as long as it makes him even more piles of money, that is. |

I'm glad the originals are coming out on dvd, but I think I'll stick to my VHS tapes. The new trilogy is something that I don't really plan on ever buying unless they are dirt cheap. Some of the things they were added were pretty great, but for the most part they kind of made the movie worse and a joke. To me the biggest offense is in Jedi where the band in Jabba's palace do that horrible R&B puke fest. That realllly pissed me off. Mainly because when I was a little kid I really loved the original song that they play. You know the one with the fat white alien guy that is getting down on that clarinet/saxophone thing. Damn you George Lucas.

So...does anyone want to buy my original VHS fullscreen trilogy or new widescreen DVD trilogy?
(of course, in a couple years, conveniently just in time for christmas shopping season, they will all be released again in a hi-res HD version with an actual 24fps) |

Good news, except for the fact that it was a scam from the beginning and now George Lucas will make twice the profit

man, lucas is one greedy bastard. why do we have to pay for 2 disc editions with the altered one also included? um, george, most of us bought those the day they came out on dvd. so now we gotta pay for a 2 disc of each, so im gonna have 2 copys of the altered ones just so i can have the original 3 unaltered.
i cant believe that he is the man behind something i love as much as star wars

those movies were released like 30 years ago, right?
i wish the harder they come or carrie would have 359 different versions floating around the market. so there's another star wars re-explotation but they can't still put out the decline of western civilization I and II on dvd? |

"Star Wars" is what people called episode IV/a new hope back in the day. no one bothered with that epIV/ANH shit back then, niggaz just called it star wars. in fact if someone used the terms episode IV or A New Hope to my face, I'd slap them for being brainwashed by old paedo Lucas.

Fucking amen. I hate the new Jabba scene. Like you though, I do like a lot of the additions...such as the exploding death star effects. I'm still on the fence about young Anakin vs. old in the final scene of ROTJ. I bought the VHS box set when it came out (96?) and it said "own the original trilogy for the last time" or something like that. "I should have known better..."

Sad to admit, I can answer this. When the film first premiered in 1977 the "Episode IV" line was not present. It was added shortly after Lucas knew it was a hit and would be able to make the other 2 movies.

I think a young Anakin is stupid. I mean Obi Wan is old, right? I bought the VHS tapes too awhile back (the widescreen versions in the Vader box). I honestly don't see myself buying them on dvd for a long time. I've always watched them on VHS so it all looks pretty normal to me. I did buy Episode 3 on dvd though. I'm in no hurry to buy Episodes 1 and 2.

my fav of them all is the original un altered ROTJ. as far as the special editions, lucas pretty much ruined ROTJ by making it even more gay with the alternate dance sequence in ROTJ and the changing of the celebration song at the end. also, adding young anakain to the ghost trio was ridiculous. it makes no sense whatsoever. even the added cleebrations at the end of ROTJ were to over the top and blatantly fake looking in my opinion. the best part of the original star wars was the fact they had to use models of everything. this digital crap is not real looking at all, no matter how much i try t o pretend it is
also, NONE of the prequels or the special edition DVDs came with a DTS track. i mean, WTF is goin on???
