It will be out in September. I'll be getting the set with all six films.

The article makes no mention of it but I think it's safe to assume that the bluray set will have the 2004 re-release versions of the original trilogy.

Naturally the one question everyone will have has been intentionally unanswered in the press release: Does the "Original Blu-ray Trilogy" mean the original theatrical cuts of the films or the 1990's re-release cuts? Given that the answer isn't presented on a headline-creating silver platter, it's sadly a safe bet that fans are not being offered the theatrical cuts, but we will update you as soon as that info is known.



That's the only important thing for me really, I have zero interest in anything other than the original three films in their original cuts, not the cocked-around-with versions or the prequel abominations.

However, as the more recent DVD releases did include the "original originals" I have hope there will be space (no pun intended) for the same in the blu-ray set. Although if there's no additional content or enhanced picture for the "oldies" there's probably not much point in me acquiring them over the DVD editions.

Cheers, Spinner

If Solo shoots second it's a no buy.

Can't wait! Original 3 only for me. Han did shoot first in my mind, but the other enhancements I think added to the movies for the most part. ESB looked absolutely incredible on my last dvd set, this should be pretty good. Again. For the 3rd or 4th time I've bought it.

I think the only movie of the original 3 that was improved with the additions was ROTJ, as it was pretty weak to begin with, and the singing bears at the end was a lame celebration. Adding the scenes from across the galaxy not only added more punch, but also made it clear that the rebels weren't just a bunch of malcontents that wanted to overthrow a government that everyone else liked.

My initial reaction is to just get the first three on Blu-Ray, since I wasn't a big fan of the prequels, but I'm not very bright and will probably end up caving and getting all 6 when it comes down to it.

If they'd put out a new Rogue Squadron or SW Battlefront game I'd gladly give them even more! LOL
