Lucas Promises Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011
Several readers have written with word that George Lucas has announced a 2011 release date for the Star Wars series — all six films — on Blu-Ray. Engadget (linked) has an explanation of what to expect, and includes a video of a deleted scene that the Blu-Ray version will include. They warn that this might be a disappointment to anyone who (correctly) believes that Han shot first.
See your childhood memories die in brilliant digital picture!
These aren't the prequels you're looking for...
Maybe there were three direct to video releases of the quality seen in the star wars holiday special.
Is it sad that I am more likely to recognize you and your posts by your sig than your name or UID?
Seriously, how many different versions will the fanbois pay money for? No matter how you feel about Greedo shooting first, doesn't owning four different box sets already make dumping $150 on another seem as silly as rebuilding your basement into the Emperor's Throne Room?
Anyone who loves or hates any language, platform, or manufacturer, doesn't know what they're talking about.
ANH, TESB, ROTJ, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, The Ewok Adventure & The Star Wars Holiday Special.

OK, you're crazy.
I still cannot find the droids I am looking for...
I still have horrible nightmares after the trauma that Lucas and Speilberg put Indiana Jones through.
Now Lucas is going to rape Luke Skywalker.
Dear god, I'm going to need counseling.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Lol you got cock blocked by George Lucus how do you feel?
Lucas told the New York Times that only the special editions will be included, since restoring the original versions in high enough quality would cost too much.
You know, I'm kind of thinking that these special editions will cost too much, even if they are free.
The films largely are the same from their 70's/80's versions and the 90's enhanced versions. It's not like in the middle of A New Hope that Obi Wan decides to stop with this whole turning off the tractor beam business and start selling Amway to the storm troopers.

Episode III was so bad that I didn't even bother watching episodes 4,5, and 6.
Eternity is two robots and sand.
There is nothing but sand.
And robots
For about six years.... Epic fail.
Yeah? Tell that to these guys

Dear grub (slashdot ID 11606):
This sounds very interesting to me, thanks for the tip. I might have some questions for you about the torrenting, though. Do you have a link to your Engadget post? It's ok if not, I'm sure I can find it. Thanks, I'll be in touch.
Sincerely,
Special Agent Cooper Ramirez

There were the three movies, then a short special involving yoda flying around (bit of a long lead-up) called episode 2, and then a long, semi-funny gag reel (for instance, Darth crying when he finds out he's darth vader) called episode 3. I also vaguely recall a long, crappy commercial for the original series called episode 1.
Dear FBI Special Agent Ramirez,
I am not an American nor is thinking about piracy a crime.
Regards,
grub (slashdot ID 11606)

*chuckle* Keep telling yourself those things if it makes you feel better. I'm watching you, grub. Watching and waiting. One of these days, you're going to slip up, and then I'll be all over you like flies on shit. You're going down, grub. It's only a matter of time.

Wait, there were six Star Wars films!?
I don't think grub has much to fear from an agent who can't consistently spell his last name correctly
Sup, Trekkie.
In this version Han shoots first and last!
Few people realize that Han Solo was using a quantum blaster. Upon the first viewing of the state of the shots fired, it appeared that Han shot first. In reality, the quantum state had a 50% chance of Han shooting first, and a 50% chance of Greedo shooting first. When Lucas remastered the movie, the observation of the quantum state rendered it as Greedo shooting first. So there was actually no change made to the movie.

DO NOT WANT ! :)
Who is this 'Hans' you keep referring to? Or did you maybe watch the German version?
Wait, there were six Star Wars films!?
Of course! (Assuming you could the trilogy plus the "special edition" versions of the trilogy as separate films).
Wait, there were six Star Wars films!?
