I'll quote myself here:

...Next year is the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars, there is no way that George Lucas does not plan to capitalize on this party. I fully expect every edition of all 6 movies to be re-released again on both HD-DVD and BlueRay DVD, maybe even as a deal with a new DVD player and/or TV package depending on the Retailers. It will be advertised yet again as "The Definitive Star Wars Collection for the technologically demanding conniseurs of Fandom all over the world." It will again be the re-re-re-release that will make all other sets and editions completely obsolete - garage sale junk. Commercials will say things like "if you haven't seen Star Wars on HD, you haven't seen Star Wars at all" and "the most complete Star Wars experience since auditorium theater seating" and "immerse yourself in the Star Wars universe like never before - you'll feel like you're flying the X-Wings down the trench - and your neighbors will feel like it too!" and "such a level of HD-THX clarity that you could literally sell tickets to your living room on MovieFone and be sold-out in a matter of minutes."
And it will sell. A lot. It will be marketed everywhere. On TV, on previews at movie theaters, in magazines, on billboards, on radio, cereal boxes, conventions, internet popups and banners, taco bell peel-off stickers, mcdonalds happy meals, pizza hutt pepsi and toys-r-us promotionals, superbowl commercials, oprah and barbra walters interviews, special pre-release parties in LA and NY, ETC ETC ETC. They are going to advertise the shit out of this stuff, and in 56 different languages all around the world, and they are going to sell like crazy. LIKE CRAZY. Because people buy into hype. Even for the crappiest of mud on the bottom of a shoe - if it has enough hype and marketing and advertising, people will go nuts.

Also probably releasing all 6 movies in 3d with plastic glasses at theaters. Who knows, maybe even some authentic plastic blow-up-dolls of Slave Leia. Knowing Lucas' sick sense of humor, it will actually be plastic blow-up-dolls of Jar Jar, though.
