I've got a bad feeling about this...

The original Star Wars trilogy is set to be released on DVD in September. Only the Special Editions, the updated and re-released versions Lucas put together starting in 1997, will be on the DVD.

As thrilled as I am to finally be able to own the original trilogy, I'm still ticked off at George Lucas. Why can't we get both the original and Special Editions in one set? Or choose which one we want? This is classic Lucas; mark my words, in a few months or years, he'll release the original trilogy in original form. He did this with Episode I, releasing the VHS copy a few months before the DVD; millions of witless fans purchased both simply to see the "extras." Although, in my opinion, if you felt the need to purchase Episode I at all, you have greater issues you to deal with.
