Blame it on my mother, our inept government, or the almighty George Lucas but i am one cynical bastard. i find myself wanting to buy the latest release of the original Star Wars Trilogy because it also includes the version of the movies as they were originally released... but i find myself hesitant.
How many times must i buy these movies? i have the original theatrical release on VHS. Then i bought the Special Edition on VHS. Then, as the "New" trilogy was coming out in theaters they released the "Original" trilogy (episodes 4-6 for you newbies) in a dvd set in the Special Edition format (where Greedo shoots first).
i don't really watch VHS anymore and being a Star Wars purist i prefer the theatrical versions as they initially came out. The real dilemma is my inclination to believe that at some point, probably sooner rather than later, they will be released in a set rather than individually as they are now. Call it the anal retentive scientist in me but i like the neatness of a set. Maybe all 6 in one big ol' set in all it's glory.
By George, how many times must i buy this set of movies (sorry about that pun)! But really, if he'd just tell us how many times we need to buy it i'd be fine. Preferably he could tell us in a Special-Special Edition of episode 5 and a half where we see Boba Fett kickin' some ass. It's the mystery that is messing with my head.
Please George, just let us know: how many? Including the new 3-D versions coming out. Please.
