I just got back from Best Buy where I picked up Star Wars Episodes IV-VI on DVD with the original theatrical releases of the movies. That means I don’t have to settle for a CGI Jabba or Gredo shooting first in Episode IV. It sucks that they didn’t release them this way in the first place but I’m glad I have them, even though it cost me $50 to get them.
While I was in FYE, I also saw a poster advertising ‘Star Wars Unaltered’ will be released 3 months from today, September 12th. I had previous posted about this. I can’t wait till this is released.
I was reading this article over at Wired.com about Lucasfilm re-releasing the original Star Wars movies on DVD in their original format. That means Han shoots Greedo WITHOUT Greedo shooting first; no stupid CGI Jabba the Hutt, etc. The only stupid thing is they’re including the special edition version (with Greedo shooting first, etc.) on the same discs. That means I’ll wind up with 2 copies of the special edition. Oh well, it’ll be worth it to have the version I know and love.
I picked up Star Wars, Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition) from Best Buy earlier today to complete my Star Wars collection. Now I have all 6 movies on DVD. I just wish the original Star Wars Trilogy was exactly like I remember it. There’s a lot of things they screwed up in the original trilogy when they released it on DVD, including the ending to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi where they changed the ghost of Anakin Skywalker from the old guy that played him at the end of the movie to Hayden Christensen who plays Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Star Wars – Episode II, Attack of the Clones and Star Wars, Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
