The Official 2006 Discs Will Be No Better Than What We Have!
Time
Here is what was originally said...

Responding to legions of fans, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment have agreed to release the original versions of the first three Star Wars movies, unmodified by digital enhancements, on Sept. 12. Each of the films, Star Wars (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983) will be released separately and will be accompanied by a second disc offering the digitally reedited version produced in 2004. They will be withdrawn from circulation on Dec. 31. A promo for the new releases states: "See the title crawl to Star Wars before it was known as Episode IV; see the pioneering, if dated, motion-control model work on the attack on the Death Star; groove to Lapti Nek or the Ewok Celebration song like you did when you were a kid; and, yes, see Hans Solo shoot first."

Any truth to this? Lucas is releasing the three unaltered ORIGINAL Star Wars films?
Time
OK. Lets say this is true. First, is he only talking about the Greedo scene being 'original'? And, what audio mix do you think it will have? Will the colour be correct? Will the levels be correct? Will we ever be happy?

I hope it is true, but I am not gonna hold my breath.

P.S.

On the other hand, I never thought I'd see Gilmour and Waters on the same stage again.

The Original Star Wars Movies On VHS ??
Time
The problem is that good 'ol Lucas doesn't label it as the Special Edition anymore. You have to find ones that were released in 1995 or before. Any others, although not labelled, are SE's, which IMO, is misleading and false advertising. Which brings up another topic. George has said that if people want the original versions, they can buy them on VHS. Well, I don't know about you folks, but I sure as hell can't find them.

These are original...although fulscreen
