It's Lucas. Everyone of them will be on Blu-Ray, just not all at once. :)

I would be willing to bet that they will most likely make the RPG game 1st then after that if even at all a SWM game.

I thought I saw an ad for the original theater versions. It certainly would be a major selling point albiet a retreat from the "one last time" threat they made in the 90's. Of course, that was a collection available on VHS...

For the movies it's in George Lucas' best interests to release the special editions. I remember hearing somewhere in a documentary that it's actually Fox that owns the rights to the original films, this was the agreement to get them made and a studio on board, Lucas in return got all the rights for merchandising, hence the reluctance to release the original theatrical versions again.
If I'm completely off the ball on this one I apologize.

ummm not to start anything but i'd like to point this out the phrase "Han Shot First" is misleading, since only Han shoots in the original version.

according to wookiepedia: In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (novel), this infamous scene is left very vague. The book only says that "light and noise filled the little corner of the cantina"; it never specifies who shot first. OTOH In the scripts The January 15, 1976 script portrays the scene thus: HAN Yes, I'll bet you have. Suddenly the slimy alien disappears in a blinding flash of light. Han pulls his smoking gun from beneath the table as the other patrons look on in bemused amazement. Han gets up and starts out of the cantina, flipping the bartender some coins as he leaves. The March 15 version of the script is identical in this scene except that Greedo is referred to simply as "Alien." either way my i perfer the spiecial editions over the orginal stuff,simply because its what i've grown up and my memories won't be screwed over by lucas not matter what he does and my Nostalgia fliter isn't truned on... and to be honest i find ANH to be boring and slow paced..but thats jsut me...

So what about the people that grew up with the original version? LOL, and so is the way of life. The younger people begin to determine what is important while the older ones fade away into the sunset. Don't be surprised if a whole new take on Star Wars comes out in another 40 years.

Such blasphemy! I watched ANH the other day on my 30th birthday and it was as exciting, if not more so, as I had remembered it. It certainly isn't slow paced as we hop from Tatooine, to the Death Star then to Yavin IV all metered out nicely. The trash compacter scene is as effective as ever and the cast works terrific together. The pure essence of adventure and fantasy is undeniable and just thinking of when this movie was released in theaters, I could see why the audience went nuts for it. It is one of the best movies ever made in terms of fun. Would you even have a Nostalgia filter to begin with if you didn't grow up with the originals versions?

It is such a difference to watch the original theatric versions of the original trilogy. I have to admit, I had seen only the special editions for so long, I agree that the first movie was pretty boring. I even couldn't put words to why, but I didn't like the Empire Strikes Back as much with the special editions. But just a couple months ago, I watched the original versions of all three movies, and I remembered why I fell in love with the movies in the first place. Maybe it is nostalgia. Maybe it is the lack of incongruity between the old special effects and the new. Maybe it is because there exists editors of Star Wars (the original) that truly made an awesome movie out of existing parts that were so much less than the whole. In any case, I was amazed by how much more I loved the original than any other more recent adaptation. It just flows...like the force through Sir Alec Guiness.

In thirty years they will probably remake it with all CG versions of the original actors and we probably will not be able to tell the difference. I'm sure Lucas owns their faces..lol

I'm sure if i had grown up ONLY knowing the ogriginal for the majority of my life,i'd have more love for them,but since i didn't i don't...If they did the Originial cut,then i wouldn't be thinking baout getting a blu-ray player,but since they are doing the Special editions...

Personally, I like the special editions... well, all except for the changes to Han's Greedo scene and Jar Jar Bink's surprise victory yell at the end of RotJ, which bugged me to no end like a pebble in my shoe. I have no problem with the special effects being enhanced or with cool little scene extras and add-ons. For the most part I loved them. And I'll admit the minor tweaks to the Han/Greedo scene in the second release of the Special Editions weren't quite as bad as in the first Special Edition, but it was still a completely unnecessary change. Jar Jar in Return of the Jedi though? Ugh. Thanks George.

IIRC that isn't jar jar at all...jsut some random gungan here we go In the Naboo celebration scene inserted into the end of the 2004-version of Return of the Jedi, several Gungans are seen taking part in the celebrations. One Gungan can be heard shouting "Wesa free!". Some fans thought that this was Ahmed Best as Jar Jar, but the voice actually belongs to Skywalker Sound editor Matthew Wood. Wood says he inserted the unscripted line as a joke, and Lucas liked it enough to leave in the final cut
