Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I had read that Lucas said the original versions didn't exist anymore. Did he mean 'exist' as in as far as he's concerned, or was he playing at the originals being destroyed? Since it seems that the former is true, would it not make savy marketing sense to release the true OT in the near future? Hell, I'd shell out another $60 for it, along with the release on Sept. 21, as I know most of you would too. Movies aside, it seems they're shooting themselves in the wallet by not releasing the original version. This seems to contradict the actions of the Star Wars marketing machine, as we have/have had everything from C3PO cereal to a Biggs action figure. It seems that they'll market anything that would make them money so I think it's inevitable that the OT will be released on DVD. Maybe as 30 year anniversary edition?
