Star Wars on Blu-ray

George Lucas finally officially announced that the Blu-Ray version of all six Star Wars films will be released in fall of 2011. Unfortunately this will only include the 1997 Special Edition versions of Episodes 4-6 and not the original theatrical versions. When asked why Lucas offered this lame reply:

Mr. Lucas said that to release the original versions of these films on Blu-ray was “kind of an oxymoron because the quality of the original is not very good.”

It's apparent that Lucas has no desire to give the fans what they are asking for with the original releases and I don't like the fact it looks like I will be forced to buy episodes 1-3 but I'll probably end up getting this as long as the price is reasonable.
