Yesterday, George Lucas announced that in September of this year he will be releasing the original Star Wars Trilogy on DVD<\/a>. For those who don’t know the story, in the mid 1990’s Lucas re-released the Star Wars Trilogy in theaters, but as “the Special Edition”. In these versions old special effects had been retouched, new scenes had been added and others had been deleted! These new versions were the testing ground for Lucas’ integration of CGI and real actors, which would appear heavily in the next three Star Wars films, Episodes I – III. Then Lucas released Episodes I – III in theaters and on DVD. The original trilogy was not released until September of 2004, and when it appeared, boy were fans pissed. Not only were the DVD’s the new “Special Editions”, but they had been edited even further. One of the biggest shocks was seeing Sebastian Shaw (who originally played Anakin Skywalker’s ghost) completely removed and replaced<\/i> by Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin in the newer movies. <\/p>\n

Fans have been begging for the original films to be released on DVD for years. It looks like the force was finally with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
