George Lucas and Lucas Films are going get richer from this.

The article says it is going to feature Dolby 2.0 Surround sound... Does that mean that a 5.1 digitally remastered track won't be available, or will it. (I'm assuming the latter).

I would love to own the original versions, but I don't think I would be happy with 2.0, on the other hand mt 4 year old is going to be thrilled about Lego Star Wars II the game

Did your jaw hit the floor, because my question was idiotic (not the first time), or because Lucas would pull something like this? BTW- I'm assuming the former.

Only 2.0, no surround sound. This is a downgrade from the PCM tracks available on the laserdiscs.

I had refused to buy into the "Lucas is squeezing us for more money" arguement, but this just reeks of money-grubbing. It is almost an abusive relantionship between the fans & GL. Sure, he'll give us the versions we want, but with the some of the lowest sound quality available.

So this will be the 4the copy I own. The original on VHS. The remade ones on VHS (sucker-- yes I was). The remade on DVD, then the originals on DVD.

Hmm, I shave my head and keep giving all my money to him...

Said it before, I'll say it again... Lucas draws his lines in the sand in pencil... pencil erasable by money.

Personally, the point is moot for me. I saw "Star Wars" aka "A Nude Hoop... er, A New Hope" in the last "final ever to be released, no seriously, get it now" box set and I realized I just don't care anymore. He's squeezed any love and respect out of the first three (no, the middle three, no... I mean...) like Darth Vader doing that force throat choke thing.

Uh-huh... Lucas pimping out one of what, 2 ideas he's had? Star Wars and American Graffiti? Not a shock. Get in the ground already, you has-been.

1 word:

eBay.

That way, I get my original trilogy on DVD (is it just the theatrical versions in 2.0? That's what it sounds like), and Lucas doesn't get a cent of my money.
