Fatwa against false Jedi
The original, theatrical versions of the true Star Wars trilogy are to be released on dvd. The Flea considers lifting fatwa against George Lucas.*
'Over the years, a truly countless number of fans have told us that they would love to see and own the original versions that they remember experiencing in theaters,' said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts and Senior Vice President of Lucasfilm Ltd. 'We returned to the Lucasfilm Archives to search exhaustively for source material that could be presented on DVD. This is something that we're very excited to be able to give to fans in response to their continuing enthusiasm for 'Star Wars'.
This happy news arrives via Howie who can finally share the true experience with the next generation (if you will pardon the expression).
Now my son and I can spend some really important quality time doing a six episode Star Wars marathon. I'll never have to explain Episode V and VI again! And no kid, those are my toys at grandma's not yours.
*And decides against it. I am with Radosh: "I'm waiting for the next version, where Han Solo shoots George Lucas."
