Speaking of the Rifftrax version....

Did they somehow get the rights from Disney?

I'm pretty sure the SWHS was there before Disney, and I don't think they got the rights from Lucas :P

edit: yup, it's been there for at least 5 years.

It's the downloadable version that is new. Previously, you would have only been able to download the rifftrax audio which you would have to sync up with the version of the HS they used. That's how they do a lot of Hollywood turkeys.

I'm familiar with rifftrax. I thought they were offering vod for the SWHS for some time now. But yeah, it they switched recently they've probably secured the rights.
