wiki
At a ShoWest convention in 2005, George Lucas demonstrated new technology and stated that he planned to release all six films in a new 3-D film format, beginning with A New Hope in 2007.[10]
Additionally, Lucas has hinted in the past that he will release his definitive (often called "archival") editions of all six of his Star Wars films on a next-generation home-video format in 2007. This release would coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars saga. It has been speculated that he will take this opportunity to make any final adjustments, changes, additions, and/or subtractions to his films for this final release. An altered clip from The Phantom Menace included in a featurette on the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith (in which a computer generated Yoda replaces the original puppet) appears to be a sign that the "archival" editions are indeed in the works.
It is said that this edition will be released in a "Grand Saga" box set. Lucasfilm Vice President of Marketing Jim Ward confirmed that in this final release, Lucasfilm is likely to return to John Lowry to do even more work on the films (possibly digital contemporization of the original trilogy). He says, "As the technology evolves and we get into a high-definition platform that is easily consumable by our customers, the situation is much better, but there will always be work to be done."[11]
Producer Rick McCallum has also explained that Lucasfilm has been holding back a large amount of bonus material for this release, including deleted scenes, as well as numerous previous Star Wars "making-ofs," spin-offs, television specials, documentaries, and other special material.
... WHEN WILL IT END!!!

I wouldn't mind seeing the films in high definition, but the rest is just ridiculous. Hopefully they will release a straight trilogy in HD like they finally have with normal DVD.

all i want is the remastered original 3 on dvd, but all you can get is the cinema releases with all the shitty dust etc, or the 'special editions' with all the shitty cgi etc

I think itd be badass if in Return of the Jedi he added a small clip where Dengar pulls Boba fett out of the pit of sarlac.
Instead of making it look like he went out like a bitch

This is like, what - the fourth, or fifth? - generation of Star Wars compilation releases. I lost count somewhere on the way. I don't blame him for trying to sell, but I do blame people for buying this shit.

South Park ripped the piss out of this some time back. What's the big deal? If you don't like the new versions, don't buy them. Episodes 1-3 were fucking awful but I think it's only misty eyed nostalgia that makes me think episodes 4-6 were any good in the first place.

George Lucas was a good egg until I discovered Star Wars is actually fiction! Pulled the wool right over my eyes, the bastard!

I'm excited by the prospect of deleted scenes, more documentaries etc... When I buy DVDs I never watch the main feature, just the documentaries. Well, I bought BMX Bandits yesterday and watched the main feature. What A Film. I hear the director is retouching it, making the BMXs computer-generated, which will be nice.

The first 3 films in the 80's were wickedly creative and perfect. Everything else has sucked so bad that he has almost ruined the originals.

one thing that really fucked me off, was in the originals when they got remastered with the new footage, the cunt put Hayden Christensen in at the end of return of the jedi. WTF? I think he's taken him back out now or was that in another version? Fuck knows.

I'm waiting for the versions with a laughter track added, seeing as they're apparently mean to be Space Comedies, roger roger uh-oh.

I might do that myself and become an Internet legend for the 2 seconds it takes Genial George to get a whiff and send his lawyers to dispatch me to the spice mines of kestral lager.
