A New Hope?

Die hard Star Wars fans, rejoice. There is some new hope left in this galaxy. If you are anything like me, you were appalled by the fact that George Luca$ refused to release the original theatrical versions of Star Wars on DVD. He only wanted the recently tinkered and updated crap that, more than anything, just ruins the saga. Well he's finally given in, and in September the originals will be released on DVD. The silver lining, however, is that the trilogy will not be a packaged set. Each movie must be purchased separately ($30).

Their wishes will be granted Sept. 12 when Fox releases new two-disc DVDs ($30 each) of Star Wars (since retitled as Episode IV: A New Hope), The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi that include the films as they first appeared in theaters, along with the new, restored versions (now available in the four-disc $70 Star Wars Trilogy).

So in essence, asshole Luca$ is charging us a fee for wanting the old versions ($90 v. $70).
