Unaltered Star Wars Trilogy On DVD

Friday, May. 5 2006 | Author: jeremy

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This is some good news. It is being reported that Lucasfilm will be releasing two-disc editions of the original Star Wars Trilogy. Each set will contain a copy of the 2004 “digitally remastered” version of the film, as well as the original theatrical release.

In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie and, as bonus material, the theatrical edition of the film. That means you’ll be able to enjoy Star Wars as it first appeared in 1977, Empire in 1980, and Jedi in 1983.

Looks like this will be released sometime late this summer. I am glad I haven’t purchased any of the Trilogy sets out right now.

Share and Enjoy

It doesn’t have all the digitally added characters and effects from the 1997 re-releases. For me, the originals had a certain charm that wasn’t improved by adding rather fake looking 3D ships and creatures.

George Lucas: the original Star Wars Trilogy will never be released on a DVD set

*months later, remastered Star Wars Trilogy on DVD set*

After the release…

George Lucas: the original remastered Stars Wars Trilogy will never be release on a DVD set (or in other words, buy this trilogy pack right now, because the other one will never come out)

*months later… original “unmastered” Star Wars Trilogy comes out*

I love the original Star Wars Trilogy, and my wonderful girlfriend happened to give me it for Christmas. But right now G.L. can go suck a big one, I’m not giving him another peny.

Very good news indeed … Lucas is surely listening to his wallet now much more than the fans, but this is still the ultimate DVD release for this year!
