Star Wars Original (Original) Trilogy on DVD?

Recommended Posts

There are rumours that The original theatrical edits of the original Star Wars trilogy are coming out on DVD (presumably remastered, but without the extended scenes and cgi inserts). Do we know about this? Do we believe it? Do we care? Are we pissed off that it's taken so much mucking about before releasing them?

I might consider buying it this time if it's true.

That would be cool. I bought the original trilogy on VHS because I didn't want to see greedo shoot first, etc.

But I won't rebuy it on dvd now.

Yeah, I'll buy these for sure. I don't own any of the movies on any format so I don't feel too jerked around by this news.

I can't believe that you 'heard a rumour' and didn't think to go to starwars.com

Meh, if their own site doesn't show up when I do several different searches on the topic, they don't deserve my clicks.

They came out with the redone original trilogy DVDs and said they wouldn't release originals.

They release originals.

Soon, HD or Blu-Ray will catch on, and they will rerelease the original redone trilogy.

After some time, they will likely release the original DVDs on HD or Blu-Ray.

Some people will buy all the different versions :frusty:

more money for george :buyme::woohoo::buyme::woohoo::buyme::woohoo::buyme:

Hah! I don't know if you were implying this with those emoticons, but when I read this news I immediately thought of New Coke! Make tons of people buy the crappy version, then bring out the original and make them all buy it again!

In any case, this is awesome news, I refuse to get the SEs but I wanted to watch the original trilogy with my friend.

I like some of the changes they made in special editions, like less noticeable matte lines and colour corrections.

Curses. why are they only available through the end of the year?

Well this nice that they finally got their act together and will release the Original Trilogy, even though those individual releases will still include the total bullshit that is the 2004 versions. Who even needs those crap versions?

Whee, it's nice to see that George still remembers how to make money.

I will most likely buy these though, because I am weak.
