wiredog writes "A bundle of all six movies will sell for $139.99, while sets of the original three films, and the three prequels, will go for $69.99 apiece. Obsessive types can pre-order them on Amazon now. Han shot first!"
I can be at my post in *HD*!
"TK-421, why aren't you at your post?"
In this edition, obi wan shoots first.
Can I see the original theater version or do I have to watch parodies of the original?
I was beginning to think Lucas stopped liking money.

Unless it includes the most excellent Star Wars Christmas Special it isn't complete.
I was really looking forward to seeing Han shoot Jar Jar first. I've been waiting for that version forever.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Imagine if you will a dead horse that deposited millions of dollars into your bank account every time you beat it.

I would not mind seeing Jabba go Hentai on Leia. Come on George, do it for the fans!

DO NOT WANT!

Is the fool who is following him following him so he can part the fool with his money?
Do you Gentoo!?
Merchant: "You really need another copy of the trilogy."
Fool: "I really need another copy of the trilogy."
Merchant: "It's only $189.00."
Fool: "It's only $189.00."
Merchant: "It's Blu-Ray this time."
Fool: "It's Blu-Ray this time"
Merchant: "It's Better."
Fool: "It's Better"
Merchant: "I'll take your money, thanks."
Fool: "Take my money, thanks."
Huh?
Episode 3 was the biggest cinematic missed opportunity I can think of. The whole point of the movie, and the whole point of the prequel trilogy, was to see how and why Anakin went to the dark side. It was the reason we stomached the first two awful movies and should have helped us find new way to look at the original 3 movies. If they could nail that scene, the rest of the garbage might have just been worth it. Instead, the big payoff scene was clumsy and unbelievable and it manages to make all of the prequels all the more pointless. Unless they can get that aspect right, tweaking the rest hardly matters.
Palpatine: So you see, Anakin, being evil offers terrific health benefits. If you needed, say, extensive prosthetic work, that would be covered with zero deductible. The pay is good, plus you have the opportunity to study obscure black arts and transfer the credits toward a degree program.
Anakin: I don't know... I'm not sure about the whole "conspiring to kill all my friends and comrades" thing. Won't that sort of go against everything I've stood for all my life?
Palpatine: Oh, let's not dwell on that... Think of the opportunities! Oh, and don't forget your lady is gonna die unless you take drastic, horrifying measures to save her. Remember what happened to your mom? How she was kidnapped and tortured in such a way that the timing of her death coincided exactly with your effort to rescue her? That's what happens if you delay your decision too long.
Anakin: Well, I know Padme is gonna hate me for this, but OK, you have a deal.
Palpatine: Good, good! Now, you need a cool Sith name. How about "Vader"?
Anakin: You seem to have given this some thought...
Palpatine: Oh, my, no... I'm just really good at this sort of thing... "Vader", "Tyranus", "Sidious", "Maul"... I could come up with names all day long.
Anakin: Wait, haven't I heard some of those before?
Palpatine: No, and neither have I. Now, for your first assignment, I'd like you to go slaughter a room full of children. This is a very important and challenging job, so I need to send someone who I know will be capable of seeing it through...
Bow-ties are cool.
