… for Star Wars fans that is! This is absolutely the last thing I ever expected to see announced. This announcement is a little irritating for those who have already popped for the Trilogy DVD Box … but not unexpected as Lucas is gonna milk the fans for every single cent that he can.
The shock news today is that Lucasfilm and Fox Home Entertainment has announced plans to release the original theatrical incarnations of the classic Star Wars trilogy. 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 and, as bonus material, the 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. This release will only be available for a limited time: from September 12th to December 31st. The International release will follow on or about the same day. Each original theatrical version will feature Dolby 2.0 Surround sound, close-captioning, and subtitles in English, French and Spanish for their U.S. release. International sound and subtitling vary by territory. Make sure you stay tuned for further details.

Saw this today too and figured you would hit the roof over it.
Well, at least once this is out, we won’t have to pop anymore cash for stuff from Lucas.
Until the re-edited and enhanced episodes 1 – 3.
YES … because Han shoots first!
Until the re-edited and enhanced episodes 1 – 3
Ummmm. Unless Lucas enhances the dialogue and acting, I won’t be popping for any more versions of Episodes I-III.
Dialogue? Acting? Star Wars? Chas, Star Wars is the porno of Sci-Fi. Don’t tell me you expect acting from an intersteller fuck flick. And before you say anything…. remember the scene when the torpedoes dive into the Death Star’s tight little hole, followed by the look of release on Luke’s face?? And lest we forget the phallic light sabers…..
“Luke at that speed do you think you’ll be able to pull out in time?!?”
All the while the voice of Ben urges him to “Let Go”. What about the space ships? X & Y wing fighters? X & Y cromosomes more like it, speeding down the narrow trench(vagina)towards destiny. I leave you with a quote from Yoda:
“Come, good food”
Next week: “Kirk & Spock…more than shipmates???”
LOL…oh my…no wonder my childhood was so screwed up….and I spent lots of time in the bathroom with magazines….doing what every young boy does…at least I think they do…
