No dice! That means I would have to sit through episodes I, II and III all over again to get my money's worth.

Don't forget that money-loving George is working on 3Difying all the movies too. We'll probably see those about 2015.

I will most likely buy them or at the very least ask for them as gifts.

Me too!
I have the VHS special edition which I am also keeping along with my original PS One games and original (still working) Intellivision system! (I don't know how that's relevant but I was feeling nostalgic)
I did not get around to purchasing the DVD versions so I'll just jump on the BR bandwagon.

I skipped over the DVD versions as well. I had the original trilogy on VHS, and then the special editions on VHS. I have since gotten rid of both because I haven't had a VHS player in a while, but knew that I didn't want to buy again until I could have the whole series in HD. I won't jump on them right away unless the price is right, unlike the LOTR extended editions (whenever they come out). Those I will get right away.

I didn’t have them on VHS except for “Phantom Menace” so when I saw the DVDs on sale for $6 each I went ahead and got all of them. They look pretty good even on the big screen and sound excellent too.
I will get the BD versions but will likely also wait to see if the price drops from what ever they end up originally asking. I can’t see ever getting the pseudo 3D versions if that happens.

IV remains top on my list of movies that had the most impact on me at the time, so I can't see how I'll resist it. I might even buy V and VI if you can purchase them separately. I to III remain as high impact movies as well. Unfortunately, the nature of the impact was disappointment. This actually gives me a good idea for a poll thread though.

I thought II was the best of them all. V was pretty lame.
Wait, I thought we were talking Star Trek. Nevermind.

Paaaaadmeee!
Um. Just doesn't really add up. One thing I will say, whining is clearly an inherited trait in that family.

I'll buy them. I must be a minority around here, but I actually liked all the films, including the remastered ones. I liked the remastered ones the best.

Not only will I be buying them, but I will be wearing my Princess Leia slave outfit when I go to make the purchase.

Just remember, choking out the fat guy behind the video counter with your chain is a felony, no matter how much they are charging.
