Though George Lucas is doing a lot for the industry by way of ILM, using pure digi, etc, he is still answers to a higher calling...the almighty dollar. His decision to only release the first 4 films on VHS is his attempt to get you to but the same movie twice. All his Star Wars fans already own the 4 movies on VHS, and are counting the hours until the 6th installment comes out, so they can finally get A New Hope on DVD. Lucas is a great film maker, and an even better businessman!
