Weird press skq3w:
The move is a direct response to popular demand, according to Lucasfilm spokesman John Singh. “The biggest question we’ve ever gotten from Star Wars fans is, ‘When are you going to release the originals?’ A Web site called originaltrilogy.com, in the last year alone, gathered 72,000 signatures asking for their release. We love that passion.”
Somethings odd with the wording/paraphrasing but if John Singh is saying incorrect things about OT.com, they’re either using this as a marketing ploy (which they figure no one will check to see if the facts are correct), or they just don’t care or they are watching and we’ll have to wait to see how their lackies respond.
