Ah, but that's the "Special Edition" that Lucas is putting out. Yes, my life is so enhanced by a new song from the Ewoks, a horrible looking CGI Jabba the Hut, Greedo firing first (and missing from point blank range, thus, through Darwinian logic justifying his swift demise based on his pathetic 'skills' as a bounty hunter), and specially enhanced explosions with the stupid horizontal percussion ring...At the risk of retreading arguments expressed far more eloquently and/or brutally than anything I could come up with, when did Lucas officially go soft in the head? He directed 3 classic movies (THX-1138, American Grafitti, Star Wars) and produced some of the classics of our time (including the Indiana Jones movies). Then in the 90s he went insane... the aforementioned edits, Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd (I know he was a kid, but I've seen postage stamps that could act better), and insisting on directing all three of the prequels. Why? WHY!
If only Lucas would wake up one morning, realize that he's soft in the head and offer a limited edition, exorbitantly priced set of the first three movies in their original cuts on DVD with commentary. I can pretty much guarantee those would sell for $150 with some stupid collector's packaging.
Hell, do what they did with the Alien "Quadrilogy" (I guess Tetralogy wouldn't quite work and they had to make up a word for stupid people) set and put both the Director's Cut and the Theatrical Release of each to let people make up their own minds about them. But no, Lucas is so proud of Greedo firing first that he's not going to let the world see how it really happened...
Ok, I really don't care that much. I just thought it'd be fun to rant for a few seconds.
