….Just his middle finger.

Well, the original theatrical release of Star Wars is coming out on DVD finally, and as it turns out, it’s apparently the shittiest copy they could find in the bottom of Sansweet’s basement.  No digitizing.  No Re-mastering.  Since it’s not George’s “Dream Version”, they’re not even wasting the time on it.  Nevermind that the fans are the ones who want it, and would gladly pay for it. But…meh.  His sandbox, right?
But here are some of the features we can expect:
* Sounds of popcorn bags rustling
* a baby crying
* One guy standing up during the Obi-Wan’s intro scene screaming “That old man DIES!“.
* At the end of “Star Wars”, a woman saying, ”oooo….He’s so shiny!“ 
* In the Cantina, look for George Lucas to pop up and scream, ”Gotcha, suckas!”

The original theatrical releases are being tacked onto the all new “Special Edition” DVD versions of the films as a “bonus” disc with each film.   Meaning, you’ll need to buy EACH film AGAIN, in order to get the Theatrical Versions untouched….literally. 

While I’m happy to finally get a copy of the original flicks, I’m not too happy with the manner in which they’re being hap-hazzardly thrown into the box in order to sell more copies of the SEs, and I think it’s being used as a marketing tool to get us all.

But of course… I’ll be getting them all… Just like the rest of you.
