Everyone seems upset about the special edition computerized effects that Lucas added to these films, but these ARE his creations, so let him do as he pleases. Lucas is currently modifying the first film for the next "Even More Specialer Edition" which is coming soon in 2010, and after speaking with him directly, I am very excited about the new changes!
In the upcoming release of "A New Hope," Greedo will not only shoot first, but he shoots every creature in the bar scene, except Han. Han will no longer fire his weapon, because Greedo fatally shoots himself in this version.
Lucas has also decided to convert all Stormtroopers into pro-football players, and being a lifelong fan of the Houston Oilers, he has chosen their defunct uniforms as the model by which his squadron of computer goons will work with. I feel the super-imposed uniform colors will contrast perfectly with the Empire's lifeless gray and black uniforms, as well as making the old stormtroopers' boring white outfits a thing of the past, just as Lucas had envisioned originally but was unable to do in the 70's when the Oilers refused to allow their uniforms to be "commercialized" in such a manner. Bet you didn't know that, did ya?
Chewbacca will be replaced by Jar Jar Binks, in a move motivated soley by the immense popularity of Jar Jar, and the fact that wookies have always been considered the least popular characters amongst true fans of the Lucas logic. The original Chewbacca outfit has since been destroyed, so forget about looking online for this collector's item because it's gone.
The Milenium Falcon has been converted to a hot air baloon, in order to lengthen the escape scene from Mos Eisley. This was secretly Lucas's favorite moment in the series, and he has plotted to expand the run time of the scene for years. The hot air baloon will take approximately 20 minutes to fully inflate, and an additional 15 minutes to lift off. I personally cannot wait to see this cinematic triumph for myself!
George asked me not to divulge any more information, but I'm sure you're all excited for these new changes!! I have pre-ordered my personal copy already, and you should do the same!

The bonus disc is the true treasure. The Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy, a 150-minute documentary is inspiring.
Plus the actual movies have a new digital transfer that makes them beautiful on your small screen. Then to the mix are the additions that are literally running around in the background of old scenes and there are even a scene or two added to the original action that make these old favorites fresh again.

I purchased this set to replace old VHS tapes. The improvements in picture and sound quality is worth the investment. To other reviewers, a few seconds of new scenes in hours of great high resolution sci-fi does not diminish its value.

We purchased the Star Wars Trilogy with bonus disc for our ten year old Grandson's birthday. He has just discovered Star Wars from T.V.! Although this item is no longer made new we got a wonderful case and the DVDs perform like new. He is so thrilled we bought from Amazon the new 3 disc prequel set of Star Wars for his Christmas. Thanks!
