Actually if I ran a multi billion dollar company, I would release them on the fourth of a month, for free. The rest of the days the customer would pay to see it. Then its still a win win.

I thought lucas said they couldn't do that a few years ago because the prints didn't exist anymore?
What's wrong with the current blu-ray versions?
Han shot first!
Disney is the best thing that happened to Star Wars in decades.

Been waiting a long time, just release them on Blu already...
I'd actually like to see cuts that have the improved special effects and some of the added scenes without the retarded changes. For example, I like the expanded dialog with the Emperor and some of the edits made for continuity's sake. What I don't like is the Han Solo / Greedo scene and "nnnnnnnnnO!" coming out of Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi.
Really?
Sad representations of what the movies were. So many stupid additions that were never needed.
I don't agree. I like the improved visual effects and some of the expanded scenes. The longer dialog between the Emperor and Vader in Empire Strikes back, the restoration of the Luke / Biggs scene, Mos Eisely's approach scene was much better, having actual windows in Cloud City, larger scale Death Star Battle in Episode IV, improved Wampa, and the expanded ending scenes in Return of the Jedi are all welcome additions. Changing scenes to have different meanings, or implications aren't welcome. I hated the Greedo shot first scene, the addition of Vader's scream in ROTJ, and the god awful dance number in ROTJ was useless as well. The comedic additions to the approach to Mos Eisley were stupid and didn't thematically fit the film.
I think if the changes I hated were stripped from the films there would be less complaining although there are still going to be "purists" who think the shitty 1970's effects shouldn't have been messed with.
Yeah, I'm cool with them touching up the special effects. But please, no CGI in the theatrical cuts. If they want to do a side-by-side release again, that's fine. But us "purists" don't like the philosophy of adding tons of visual clutter to a scene to "enhance it" like the animals in the special edition Tatooine scenes. It's unnecessary at best and distracting at worst. I'd say more, but the Plinkett reviews describe it perfectly.They had animation to make the sticks that Luke/Obi Wan/Vader held look like light sabers. I don't care how they implemented the effect.

I say release blu-rays of the movies and include both an unchangeded theatrical release (cleaned up and such is fine) and an altered version with improved effects. Everyone wins and more people will buy it.
No, it screams "Star Wars fans, we are listening!"

This is a business investment, and they're doing it for the money. But if the fans didn't want it, they wouldn't be doing it.
Who cares why they're doing it, we're getting it. Nothing wrong with Disney making a buck or millions giving us what we've been asking for.
How many times can people buy the same fucking movie?

Lucas gets a lot of grief regarding the changes but he did make some nice changes in regards to the special effects and audio...but yeah I still want the original theatrical cut on Blu-ray
I don't like that edition, because it means that one of Luke's best friends dies in the battle and there's no mourning after the battle. That one bugs me far more than little Jabba and Han.
Luke, throughout the entire trilogy has shown little to no emotion when people die. It happened with his aunt and uncle. I doubt he'd take the death of a friend any harder. It's just an odd quirk of the character. You could argue it's due to bad writing, but he's consistently portrayed this way.
