In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of “Star Wars,” “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie, as well as the original theatrical edition of the film. That means you’ll be able to enjoy “Star Wars” as it first appeared in 1977, “Empire” in 1980, and “Jedi” in 1983.

After George Lucas said so many times that he would never release the originals, they are finally going to do it. They could have listened to fans for oh, say, for the last 20 years who wanted it, but no! Lucas decided fans didn’t know what they wanted, that only he knew! nyah nyah!

Reminds me of how Steve Jobs laughed at the idea of video on an iPod.

Or, when Metallica said they would never release a music video.

Never say never, especially when money is involved.
