Default Re: OT - Star Wars trilogy out today

Unfortunately, Lucas is still in his 50's. He maybe around for another 20-30 years, or more. Who knows how many more times he may tinker with his creation. I'm just hoping that once he dies, or the ownership of Lucasfilms passes hands to someone else, then the original movie may make it on dvd. But that's a long time to wait. I guess we'll have to settle for the revised Version for some time to come. Who knows, if someone is smart enough to avoid the legalities of the matter, a bootleg of the original movie could be transferred from a good vhs copy to dvd. Not that I'm advocating bootlegging or piracy, of course. But I think Lucas passed on a great opportunity to give the fans what they really wanted, a chance to see the original movie as it was seen some 25+ years ago. He could have included the original Versions along with the special editions, doubled the price of the box set, and still make millions.
