These movies will neither be original editions or the special editions. The special editions were strictly the 1997 theatrical release. Since he has changed many things. The new DVDs he does change the Greedo/han scene apparently as well as other things, there has been more tinkering. As a matter of what originals are we referring to. George Luca$ changed Star Wars from the original edit (30-40% different footage then we've seen - see my "lost footage thread"), then upon release of star wars (3 weeks later), he changed some scenes, dialogue, opening scrawl and title to A New Hope. How about the Imax editions, DVD editions, theatrical editions, UK editions of the new movies...all different. For better or worse (I think worse read my "that feeling" thread)...they continue to evolve. I have listed on the SE vs. OT forum a list of all the changes to the Archival Editions that will be released in High-Def in May 2007. It continues to evolve. So in fact, Luca$ could clearly make the argument that 1. It is not false advertisement as these are not the SE 2. This was his original vision (that too has evolved some) that he is now able to realize with the modern technology. 3. He has old scripts and notes to bakc up most of that 4. He is Luca$ the $$$ man, try and sue him. I am not defending him by any means, but a lawsuit is silly.
