The "Archival" edition of 2007 is a fanboy dream, but it remains one with a good possibility of becoming true. 2007 is of course the 30th anniversary of SW, and fresh off the heals of completing the SW saga its a perfect opportunity to do something with the films, as i think McCallum has said. Theatrical relases have been totted around by Lucasfilm reps, and i think a I-VI boxset is inevitable, so likely what will happen is a limited release of all six films in theatres, followed by a complete boxset.

The whole "Archival" thing is a reference to what may turn out to be fanboy dreaming, as the films are supposedly going to be spruced up yet again with more enhancements and ties to bring the six films together, while also giving us plentiful new DVD extras. Nodoubt Lucas has hinted he will return to touch up the films at least one more time (and indeed, the films do need it, if only for technical things that have for some reason STILL slipped by the radar, such as Kenobi's "shorting out" saber in ANH that has only been partially corrected), but if and when he does i don't think they will substantial fixes--the latest DVD versions have likely given us the last of the major enhancements, and after all the hubbub about the 2004 extras i can't see any substantial improvements other than those damn deleted scenes that have for some reason been left out of both the Indy set AND the SW set.
