Original Star Wars on DVD... Sorta

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-thats-just-a-let-down dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Original Star Wars is available on DVD. Sure it's more moola in Lucas's pocketsess (Gollum accent). But he did finally release the original version for a limited time. But which Original Star Wars, I bet Episode IV is in the opening titles. " Also apparently the original versions are basically non-anamorphic transfers from the laser discs. So basically, they look terrible.

    a line from the Comedians of Comedy documentary


    "Yea I saw Phantom Menance and Attack of the Shit. It was like your uncle sticking his weiner in your mouth. Not like when you were a kid but grown up. You don't expect it either, your uncle's your favorite person, got you high, bought you your first beer, hate your mom hate your dad but your uncle is cool.

    You're at your parents for christmas, everyone's in bed, you're watching Letterman and you look over and see your uncle trying to put his weiner in your mouth. That's what Phantom Menace was like.

    I'm not even gonna see the third one (ROTS). It'll just be me walking into an empty theater and there will be Lucas ready to rape me some more. And I'll just do it to get it over with.

    Then he'll put on a Greedo mask and call it the Special Edition."

    A move to the attic isn't what they meant by "It's time to move up in life.", Yoduh.

    Go ahead and call me unreliable; reliable is just a synonym for predictable.

    "I would rather see him release 9 mediocre or bad movies..."

    3 down, 6 to go.
