Now I’m happy.
Geeks the world over have reason to celebrate today – George Lucas has finally listened to their pleas and is releasing the original versions of the ‘Star Wars’ trilogy on DVD.
On September 11, two-disc sets of ‘Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope’, ‘Episode V The Empire Strikes Back’ and ‘Episode VI Return of the Jedi’ will hit the streets, featuring the digitally restored and re-mastered versions of the movies.
And as bonus material, they will also include the holy grail for true ‘Star Wars’ fans – the original theatrical versions of the films.
And the article’s writer says something that Peter has said about eight thousand times:
As a fan of the originals, I’ve avoided buying the updated versions of the films in the hope that Lucas would one day listen to sense and release them in an untainted form.
Can’t wait…!

And he just had to announce this on “May the Fourth be with you”?
He’s really serious about the Christmas market, too, releasing them in September and keeping them on sale until December 31.
I wonder if the material on the fourth DVD of the existing boxed set is spread over the three two-disc sets.
