re-new hope, and then the new hope... So from the beginning, in 1977 there were changes and he has always stated wanting to have these films evolve to his vision...which according to him, will be the archival editions, hence the name. Please don't unleash anger at us, for staing why its just not plausible. Now certainly it not good business practice and is a harsh denial to the most hardcore fans (the reason for the site and why we're here)...in that regard we all agree (except Jimbo maybe). We all feel your pain about the OT. There will be awesome edits after the box set is released and there are the anamorphic and tr47 sets. He will not release them probably ever, may be a remote chance on the archival editions where there is huge amounts of room on each disc, where he'd include as an extra (easter egg maybe...haha). re-new hope, and then the new hope...
