STAR WARS Special Edition films on DVD

[GrendelZ]

My fervor for these films has waned over the past 5 years or so,due in large part to the sub-par prequels and Lordof the Rings,but I will still get these.I wish they wouldve at least put the older versions on there for the "purist",but it doesnt really bother me.I am curious what Luca$ is going to charge for this little gem,Im going to venture to say $79.That is a high figue but i've seen him do it before,BB or CC will run it for $39 or $49 the first week though.

GrendelZ: Somewhat agree with you, the newer films haven't had the same impact as the originals, but they've not been near as bad as I feared they'd be. Nothing spectacular, and a few bits I'd rather not have seen, but heh, to be fair to Lucas, he wasn't originally going to do this until enough people cried. And he did say they wouldn't be as good as the originals or they would have been the originals. The newer Star Wars are sadly still better than 90% of the other Sci-Fi crap that's out there today. And Episode II was a decent improvement over Episode I. I'll just have to see how Episode III turns out. I can't see the newer films being more popular than the originals though.
I doubt a three part series of any other Tolkien (Simarillion or whatever) would match LOTR either.

I'd like to see Star Wars presented similar to the Alien Quadrilogy...2 DVD's for each film, one original, one re-vamped. Maybe a disc or two of bonus stuff.
Prices will be set to maximize revenue, same as every other movie out there.

Would love to see him release the OT on dvd rather than the special edition. Clean it up, enhanse the special effects but then release it. This will cause me to still hold onto the VCR ...
