If I hadn’t been in my cubicle, I would have shouted “whoo hoo!” at the top of my lungs. For years, George Lucas has resisted his fans’ demands to put the original three Star Wars movies on DVD. It looks like he’s had a change of heart. The DVD set, which is to be released in September, will be the “Special Edition” releases of Star Wars, The Epire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
I’m thrilled to finally add these to my growing DVD shelf, but I’d rather have the theatrical releases, and not the digitally-monkeyed-with re-releases.
