Well, as it happens, the word on the street is that there WILL be a 30th anniversary edition released in 2007 (funny that!!) This will be a boxed set of the SIX movies each one having extra scenes added/modified. Prior to this release on 2006, there will be a box set of the prequel movies - no extra features AFAIK.

I know for certain that following discussions about Yoda in Ep1 and the success of Ep2&3, Yoda will be changed to be CG, and extra scenes that were shot around the time of EP3 will be included in the original films!! Yes, folks, yet ANOTTHER version of the SW SEs - perhaps these should be renames SW SE '07? GL will be tinkering with them forever!!!

I am hoping that they fix up the glaring mistakes that they left with the most recent releases (green lightsabre, matt lines not removed etc) and do them properly this time.

I for one are on the original trilogy bandwagon having these on VHS, LD (and soon DVD - by my own preservation archives), these originals do stand up the best! Some of the SE additions are nice, but now the films are no longer the ones I saw in 1977!
