George Lucas isn't going to release the original theatrical editions, period.

And there is no false advertising: The box says "Star Wars Trilogy"
It doesn't say that it is the original theatrical edition.

Thank you

Both of you read Pagz's posts again. He's 100% right.

Personally, I don't think that an ad campaign or whatever from a video release nine years ago covers them. Obviously not everybody's going to specifically remember "Oh right, the 1995 video release was the last time to own the original versions" when they go out to buy the DVDs. Also, not everybody knows about it - I never new they made a big ad campaign about it being the last time to own the original versions, because I didn't get into Star Wars until later (but I still saw the original versions first and prefer them). Also, I'm sure there a lot of people have forgotten all about that, and I'm sure that there are also lots of people who own Star Wars videos from the 1980s and haven't bought any since and haven't paid attention to further video releases who are planning to buy the DVDs. And there are also lots of other reasons why people wouldn't know that the DVDs are the Special Editions (or whatever) and that the original versions supposedly won't be available anymore.

So just because they made an announcement nine years ago doesn't mean they can advertise the DVD boxset as the Original Star Wars Trilogy without any mention of Special Editions (or Ultimate Editions or whatever) or changes.
