Actually Adywan has released DVD reconstructions of the original theatrical Empire and the 1999 theatrical Menace.  On top of that, he's also released an AVCHD 1080p version of Menace, and one of Empire that's a reconstruction of the 1997 SE (and another AVCHD of ANH that's the 2004 SE, but with Han shooting first instead of Greedo).  So lordsidi is correct.

And yeah, the reason most (such as myself) have a problem with the SE's is that they've replaced the original versions, which Lucas simply refuses to restore and release properly, unlike Ridley Scott (all 5 versions of Blade Runner available in 1080p on one Blu-Ray set), Spielberg (all 3 versions of Close Encounters, same thing), James Cameron (both versions of Aliens, Terminator 2, all three versions of Avatar, etc.), and other directors who are more than willing to make all official versions of their work available to the public in high quality.

If Lucas would only do that, we'd all stop bitching pretty damn quickly.
