They never advertised it as anything but "The Star Wars Trilogy," IIRC, but they did acknowledge in interviews/press releases that it would be the Special Editions and not the originals.

HOWEVER, I don't think they ever said that additional changes were being made. When the Hayden-in-ROTJ shot was leaked a few weeks early, most people thought it was a fake, and that Lucas would never do something like that. Obviously, they were wrong.

And despite me being a purist, I hate the idea of bringing the "law" into it, especially as in your last paragraph which is just ridiculous.

ChainsawAsh, what is so ridiculous about my idea to require film companies to include original theatrical release versions with updated versions in equal quality on blu-ray and DVD? What's wrong with having a few common sense requirements like stating changes made and labeling versions properly? I don't see why this is an unreasonable law to be in place and I wonder why there are no standards for film? With the internet it has made these requirements unnecessary as people can jump on imdb and many other movie websites and find all the information they need about versions of movies.

Most movie companies have enough common sense to make their movie in the best possible quality when released on media, currently DVD and blu-ray. But unfortunately Lucasfilm doesn't have the desire to do that. It's is also the movie company with the most loved and successful film franchise in history. If I wanted to make plea for this law where do I start?
