I'm so glad to hear this! I'll definitely be picking up all 3 on DVD. But I most admit I never thought I'd see this day come.

"See Han Solo shoot first"

Sweet. Must buy.

To theaters? Oy... How much money does this guy need? Forget that; I'm just going to use the ol' VCR again. Thing runs just fine after 10 years, knock on wood.

Already downloaded 'em, I refuse to fall into the cliched Lucasfilm cash burning trap

*Brodie* · 05-04-2006, 10:11 AM

The only thing I want out of this is the Han Solo shirt, cause i dig the style. And yeah, Han did shoot first.

Ok, so when I read "theatrical versions" I thought that meant that they would be releasing a theatrical version, as in, now, but they just mean they are putting them on dvd the original theatrical version.... Sorry for getting the theatre goers hopes up...

I'm so buying them on the day they come out.

May The Force Be With Money

Money is what makes the world go round, get over it. At least Lucas is finally giving the fans what they want instead of his modified crap. Though my ideal would be if they released the movies with the extra/edited scenes as a feature you could turn off and on. Some of the stuff added I in the original SE I did like such as the addition of the Jabba the Hutt scene that was original cut out.

*Ecto Jedi* · 05-14-2006, 02:36 PM

I don't get what the fuss is about -- I prefer the Special Edition versions of the films, and the current DVD releases are just about as perfect as they can get. Perhaps a sh*tload of special features and such would entice me to buy these new DVDs, but I sincerely doubt it.

Umm yeah or he could have done that in that first place and not made you pay for the same movie, for the same price two times. With a few changed things.

How would you feel if Laird went back to the original movie and dotted over Raph screaming "SPLINTER" on the rooftops with him taking out the entire Foot Clan in two minutes whilst performing the safety dance in the precise same sequence?

Exactly.

I like the special editions, but coupling it with a "back when CGI did'nt make the film industry erupt into complaicency something fierce" DVD version of the films does'nt hurt either

I honestly imagined Raphael on the top of the farmhouse shouting with Vader's, "NOOOOOO!" dubbed over when I read that.
