I saw this at The Digital Bits and just had to post:

In announcement news today, Shout! Factory has finally revealed that the Battle Beyond the Stars: 30th Anniversary Special Edition will street on Blu-ray and DVD on 7/12 (SRP $26.97 and $19.93). Both will include new transfers from the original internegative.

Too bad Lucas can't afford to make a new transfer of Star Wars.

 This deserves to be quoted again.

And again. Roger Corman's been doing this with a lot of his stuff. ROGER CORMAN. The king of cheapness.

He was also the guy that almost gave us back The Wicker Man (the real one) after the bulk of the original cut materials were chucked away (possibly buried in cement in a fly over but that may be a myth) by evil studio exec types who wanted the film to just vanish and be forgotten.

And when the extended (not quite complete) cut of that film was released the mangled theatrical cut was also in the set.
