Star Wars: Is The Unaltered Original Trilogy Finally Coming To Blu-Ray?!
Hurray for Han shooting first!
It's long been held that we'd never get to see the original Star Wars trilogy as George Lucas originally intended them to be seen on blu-ray. But now it seems there could be some hope for the unaltered films coming to a high-definition TV near you.
Making Star Wars is recirculating a rumour that the unedited trilogy - that's shorn of all of Lucas' later tinkering - could be getting a release on Blu-ray and various formats in line with the franchise’s 40th anniversary.
Nothing is set in stone just yet, but it'd be huge news for Star Wars purists (and a huge financial boost for Disney who must be struggling for cash these days...)
Can we expect to see this announced at Star Wars Celebration? Let's all hope so.
Lucas' meddling with the originals has long been a source of great annoyance to fans, with edits made seemingly for the sake of it. And while some actually improved the trilogy, there were others that were absolutely unnecessary...
