Beh, and it will probably be the retouched versions... I WANT THE ORIGINALS!
I have the original versions on DVD. The original cinematic releases... where Han shoots first, and the Sarlaac pit looks like a gigantic sandy vagina monster. The DVDs contain the original trilogy, the remastered trilogy, and the remastered trilogy with commentary. They're in a metal tin, and they were an Xmas present a couple of years ago. Compare your DVD collection to mine and then kill yourself!

The bluray release should also include the Christmas Special.

They wiped the originals to make the special edition
Nope. The original prints exist here and there in the hands of collectors. The original releases for the trilogy were copied several times to allow more than one theater to show them at once, you see. As is typical, some of these found their way into private hands. The legacy is preserved, even if the holders are too scared of degradation to allow the film to leave the hermetically sealed cans.

Check these, fellow SW geeks. They're the intro movies for the new SW: The Old Republic game. I don't have the time to get into an online game, but these are freaking fabulous. And you can download them for full resolution watching.

I have bought at least 20 Lego Star Wars sets, no idea where they all are now...  I built them all of course.

Now you are just old enough to buy that set as well. I hope you didn't buy any 14+ Lego sets before you reached that age  ...

I prefer to think of them as having never existed without the need to burn them. I'm as angry as I've ever been! Those snippets are better than 6ish hours of prequel!
So is staring at dog crap for 6 hours.

Then the Holiday Special, as it never truly pretended to be canon. And moreover; it did not ruin the entire mythology of the original trilogy!

But the Holiday Special has Bea Arthur singing in it. And the scene is pretty emotional.

I've never seen the Holiday Special, but by the sounds of it I don't want to either...

I've seen it either, mainly so I'd know what people's beef is with it. And I have to say I saw worse movies.

I've seen The Star Wars Holiday Special three times... including once on television... my entire class was looking forward to seeing something Star Wars on TV, I don't recall anybody thinking it was good! Being children we didn't think that it wouldn't have the big budget excitement of the film

To be honest, I agree. The only thing I would say though is that the Indy ship is not so much a Falcon clone but the perfect love child of the Falcon and the Ebon Hawk. Like the Corellian Engineering folks were just a few designs away from actually creating the YT-1300 - and yet it takes them over 3 and a half millennia to do it...
I checked the credits and unfortunately the Smuggler is not John Di Maggio - except for one bit where I would swear it was though... I mean, I think the TOR movies are fantastic, agree with them being better than the Prequels, but it's funny that while these depictions look super-realistic, the actual art direction of the rest of the game is deliberately less so - I just hope people don't complain about it. I don't know though, the biggest problem I have with TOR is that I'd like to play it, but probably won't, because I really don't do MMOs - not the time and not the money.
On an unrelated note, I actually dreamt last night I was watching yet another version of the Star Wars trilogy where GL had left in all the scenes cut from the original release and used much earlier revisions of the scripts, so the footage was even older and key scenes ran slightly differently. He still used special digital effects to tart everything up though.
