Do you think Disney will release the unaltered versions for DVD and blue ray?

The way I see it is that the '04 and '11 editions are inevitably some children's first ever viewings of the films. It's not unlike the days of watching the films on P&S VHS or even the P&S DVDs. They might be inaccurate, nonstandard versions of the films (albeit for different reasons), but somebody watched them for the very first time with Jabba in ANH and with Hayden Christensen in ROTJ. That's their version just like the originals are our version. I for one watched the 2000 VHS rerelease of '97 version in what I'm pretty sure was P&S. I don't have any VHS tapes left in my house but if I had any nostalgia for the format I would buy that set back instantly and put it with my other Star Wars releases and preservations.

I think oftentimes people here forget that point, and while they are wholly entitled to their opinions of the Special Editions, they also forget about "everybody else" for lack of a better term. And to qualify my statement, I agree with most everybody here that the Special Editions are a stain on the franchise, but I am not going to forget about them outright and wish for their exclusion in any upcoming sets.

Remember, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it!

My first versions were the FS '04 versions, and I still prefer the OUT. But eoth that said, I want a Blu-ray with all the version of all six movies on one set. With that, every fan can be happy no matter what. Mr. Lucas can be happy as well, with his (I quote John Williams,) 'improvements.'

John213a, Harmy still projects to do them. He just needs someone to take care of the audio part, and the audios in question are the dts theatrical tracks extracted from the actual dts CD-Roms.

I actually synched-up the theatrical DTS for the trilogy almost two years ago, but never released them because there was no release-appropriate video source to go with them, plus no one seemed to be too interested in them at the time. I have already PM'ed Harmy offering them to him should he want to use them.

 Is he going to use them? :)
