Theatrical Cuts of Star Wars Original Trilogy to be released on DVD in September

Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will issue the original, theatrical version of the "Star Wars" trilogy for the first time on DVD Sept. 12. "Star Wars," "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" will each be released in two-disc versions containing the original theatrical version along with the 2004 digitally remastered version. Helmer George Lucas upgraded digital effects and otherwise altered the original movies to reflect the prequel trilogy for the DVD debut of his first three "Star Wars" pics. In the 2004 version, for example, "Star Wars" (by then considered "Episode IV: A New Hope") starts with a different title crawl than seen in theaters in 1977

Good news.. kind of. Sounds like he's forcing everyone to buy the Special Editions again to get these unaltered versions. Makes you think that maybe he always had it planned this way. Still, I'll buy them because I haven't got the Special Editions on DVD yet.
