That's the special edition though, isn't it? Or as some would call it, the 'bastardized version'. I don't know if I could watch those without thinking to myself..."wait a sec, what the heck is THAT?"
Follow Ups:
The DVD Star Wars trilogy will be the Special Editions, NOT the orignal versions.George Lucas was quoted in an interview a few months back saying something to the effect that he will NEVER release the originals on DVD, because to him, they weren't "finished" to his satisfaction.
In any event, I'll just be happy to see the darned things FINALLY get released on DVD.
Time will tell regarding whether the originals ever get issued, I guess...

I have the CLV THX pressings that came out just before the AC-3 SE box set but don't know of ANY copies of the movies in their original form that exist in AC-3. Such a shame, I prefer the original movies by a wide margin.
Nope.The films were originally shot with Dolby A analog sound and released in Dolby Stereo and Dolby Surround for home viewing.
Dolby A is a noise reduction system, a more complicated one than the comsumer Dolby B and its children. I believe the original films were in Pre Logic.
I just won the vhs thx originals for $32 on ebay which may have been a deal since two sets that just sold more recently went for $51 and $76. I had to bid about 11 pm though :) Can't wait to see them. I could try and sell my full screen original vhs tapes but those are a dime a dozen on ebay though.
I saw the CLV box set a while back during a stay in Cleveland, and thought that was rather novel of Lucasfilm/20th Century to have released it in that format!I'd think it should increase in value, especially after the DVD set comes out on Sept 21!
So I'll watch out for you on Ebay! Hehehe, Just kidding...
