Pigs get second chance
In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. will release a twelve-disc boxed set of the Star Wars Saga in 2007. The set will contain all three prequels as well as the three original films, with new special effects and enhancements. Producer Rick McCallum said, "At last, we are able to present George's original vision. For instance, in Return of the Jedi, the Gamorrean guard that falls into the rancor pit will sprout wings and fly away, taking Luke to safety."

I have to admit I'm kind of intrigued by this change. It'll probably be regarded as one of the "safe" changes by most O-OT fans, like the Battle of Yavin and fixing Lando's erection.
