Original Star Wars DVDs are coming for real
OK, so I guess I’m going to have to eat my own words — but only some of them. It’s true that they are coming out on DVD, and they’re going to pull a Disney, which means they’ll only be out for a limited time, and basically scare you into buying them before time runs out.
I just ran across the story over on Yahoo!, but I’ve also got to tip my hat to commenter Volker, whose comment I saw just as I was heading back here to post the news.
I’m not, however, going to take back what I said about nobody wanting to watch the ewoks singing or the crappily cut-out ships in every space battle in “A New Hope.” I may sound like a heretic to other Star Wars fanboys out there, but with only a few minor exceptions (Jabba’s palace dance number, Temeura Morrison’s voice, Solo shooting first), the Special Editions are infinitely more watchable. And who wouldn’t be excited for Dolby 2.0! Turn your subwoofers off for this one, kids!
Here’s the the announcement straight from the Sarlacc’s mouth.
And yes, I’ll be buying them.

Thank Goodness! I don’t know if I’ll be buying it, but I like to know that it exists.
