Great movie, bad DVD
In an era when we are getting great DVDs for many films with different versions available (think Abyss and the Alien 9 disk series) it is a shameful that perhaps the greatest Sci-Fi movie ever made is not available in its original version, only in the director's cut. Whether or not you like this version better, the lack of availability of the original is a crime to any film lover.

It's about time.....but
I like many StarWars fans couldn't wait for the original trilogy to come out on dvd. However, I think both versions of the films should be released and just not the Special Editions. I loved the original version of Return of the Jedi and the Special Edition takes the darkness mytery out of the Jabber the Hut scene. I mean the scene with creatures perforrning there is now turned into annoying cgi musical number. It's just goofy and doesn't belong in a scene that is meant to be dark and mysterious. Well Lucas obviously didn't think it was meant to stay that way. The new score at the end of the Return of the Jedi as well, I think is really bad and I miss the original score. Lucas is too much into effects and todays technology. Mean look at the prequels, if he put more time into the scripts and less into the visuals, the movies might compare with the original movies. Anyway I think the original movies were fine before the special editions. Ok the Jabber the hut and Han Solo scene that was added to the original in entertaning. Some other changes like the ones to Return of the Jedi are really bad though. I heard rumors that Lucas actually wants to make Special Special Editions now but I think he hacked his beloved trilogy to bits enough. I'm still gonna buy these dvd's, don't get me wrong but the original versions should be there as well. If anything needs to be hacked up to be made better.....it should be the prequels.

Can't believe Lucas didn't release the ORIGINAL trilogy
Man, I LOVE Star Wars as much as anybody else and I was so looking forward to the original trilogy as it was first shown in theatres to be released on DVD. What a disappointment that Lucas decided to release the "Special Edition" versions instead with the added footage of Jabba walking around, etc. I guess I have to wait another few years until this version runs it course and runs up the total in the bank account and then Lucas will finally release the original versions on DVD or whatever the new format is by then.
