Will George Lucas ever stop tinkering with Star Wars? Upon the heels of rumours that there might be an additional three Star Wars (part 7-9), comes this eternal Slashot question that perhaps not even the venerable but wise Yoda could answer.

Reader spoco2 writes “The Star Wars Original Trilogy is due for worldwide release on the 21st on DVD, but the first reviews are appearing already in Australia (obviously of the PAL version). Yes, they are the SEs with even more differences (Now Gredo and Han shoot at the SAME time!). I’m afraid I’ll be waiting for the day when George reconsiders and releases the untouched originals.”

I found this coverage of the Gredo / Han Solo / Cantina scene rather humorous. C’mon Star Wars geeks, get over it! It’s just a freaking movie. I understand being a fan and wanting the original, but there’s always eBay and the laserdisc set or just boycotting the DVD release by not buying it. Me, personally, I’ll buy the DVD set with or without the Gredo / Han Solo scene edit just for our collection. Maybe this is all just a marketing thing anyway and one of the secret goodies on the disc will be the original films, untouched. Hmm.

Did this post make you go hmm?
