Star Wars: The Complete Saga hits shelves on September 16.
It looks like Lucas is tweaking the series, once again!

Still not buying Star Wars until they release the original version, and I know it will probably not happen, but I refuse to give Lucas my $ until he pleases the true fans.
Sorry Rant over.
Right on for you guys :tu

An altered version on blu ray is better than an unaltered one on DVD :2

Identical to the theatrical release. Han shot first.
I pre-ordered mine about 5 months ago!

The original, unaltered, theatrical versions ARE on DVD.
They come on the most recent 2 DVD versions and are packaged with the altered versions. No extra special effects, Han shoots first, the whole nine yards!

I plan on getting this as well. Might make it a very long weekend. Wifey has decided to lock herself in the bedroom while I am watching the series.

Will the unaltered versions be on Blu-Ray as well? (Technically that would make them altered too, but you know what I mean.)

I am really looking forward to this. It looks lke some of the changes are really good subtle ones like making sure puppet operators don't have their arms in the shot and restoring the lightsabers to their original brilliance. Definitely getting this one.

Yep, won't be giving the bastard any more of my money. Remember in the late 80s when he was crying against people colorizing and altering old films?
Plus this change:
Alderan shot first!

Did they get rid of midichlorians? If not, then none of it was necessary.

No. And Jar Jar Binks also remains!;s
Most of the changes will not be noticeable (to anyone but Fanboys).

That must be an extremely clever allusion to some line in this movie you guys are talking about. ;)
Funny and extremely clever. I especially like the Alderan gif. Passed that one on today.
I have a friend that HAS to have every iteration that the multi-chinned mad, genius puts out.
I have always laughed at him, even though I was jealous of him HAVING all these versions.
Sadly, a few of them were on VHS tape. I am sure he thought the DVD was gonna be the end of the buying, haha.

I'm right there with your friend! I even had double copies (DBall now has a set of DVDs)!
I expect I'll have a the holographic version when it comes out as well!:bh

If your a purest then I would pick up the old DVD set with the OG version!
I didn't think the resent changes were so bad... however, I've lived through the other changes over the years, so I'm use to Lucas' shenanigans! :D

I still have a DVD set I picked up many years ago; was actually ripped from the unmolested version Laser Discs and high quality transfer to DVD. Total Chinese bootleg of course, with great covers and even said THX on it! LOL

I did however pre-order this bad boy today.
