I would like to think this is just Lucas trying to strech out the profitablity of Star Wars. He'll release these SE's now (which by-the-way will probably flow a little more seemlessly with I,II,&III) and 3 to 4 years down the road he'll release the originals with all the bonus footage. I can respect a good marketing trick when i see it. But if this is his real intent and the movie that impacted my childhood are destined to die on a shelf at his ranch then I suggest you take to the DVD burners and bootleg these masterpieces like there is no tomorrow! I mean, if he has no desire to profit off them I'm sure he won't mind.

Christ, Didn't he see the South Park episode about him and Spielberg. Quit screwing with my childhood George!!!
