UPDATE: Jawa01 writes in: Hey guys. I work at Target and right now it's in the system for $49.99. If it's going to be cheaper it won't show in the system until Sunday when the sale prices for the week take effect. On a different note, we are offering a $10 gift card with the purchase of Star Wars Battlefront. So, if you buy Battlefront and the DVD set, get the game first and then have them ring up your DVD set seperatly and use the $10 gift card on it. Hope this helps.
Also Tom R. reports: Just seen COMPUSA ad for S.W. Trilogy on sale for $39.99!

No. George isn't releasing the Original Version. So if you want it, go to http://www.ebay.com and find one that somebody transfered from VHS with updated sound to 5.1 digital.
George can suck a nut.

THERE lies the problem.

O M G
they changed the part where Vader speaks to the Emperor! The Emperor tells Vader that Luke is the son of Anakin Skywalker!! Therefore, the lines of the Emperor were changed!!!
I'm watching it right now, they even replaced the image of the Emperor with the one that corresponds to the way he sounds in ROTJ!!
Cooool!!

As a recording studio owner, thanks for saying that. I work hard on my projects, as do the artists that hire me. Nice when we get paid!

I saw an interview with George Lucas and he pretty much said he doesn't support the originals as they aren't what he wanted them to be.
From my understanding he changed a few references to make ep's 4,5 & 6 match with 1, 2, & 3.
