That was one of my favorite ploys by George Lucas. Kick a VHS edition of the movie out (while people still had their VCRs) and charge more than normal for it, let everyone buy it, and then a year later release the DVD and watch everyone rebuy it. Fucking brilliant.

I may not like his direction style and I may think he's a fucking cocksucker, but the guy knows how to milk his fanbase for all they're worth.

A two disc edition with the original release, and the Special Edition release as it was in the theaters. Anyway fuck him. Anyone who gives fans the dick like that doesn't deserve any more of my money. Besides our friends the Chinese have already ripped those DVDs for us off the orginal laser discs.

LOFL!

In all fairness mate, those rips look awful compared to the new DVD releases - There is hardle any detail to the image. They are not that great, asides from to show people.

for a few less chili fries down Lucas's gullet. The good ol Chinese will just rip bootlegs of the new DVDs anyway. I'd rather give money to them just out of principle. Then I can piss off Lucas and the MPAA/RIAA.

Goddamn right. I've been not wanting yet at time nearly floundering into buying that damaged stuff out there now on DVD. I really didn't mind the updated visuals and fixes from the 1990s upgrades in the theatre, but the tweaks and mass changes (esp to Jedi) on the DVD now were an insult to anyone who has watched the old...fanboy or not (I'm not, just liked them.) I felt it was a slap in the face of anyone edited out of the movies (original vader) and the rest.

DVDs unaltered, buy I will yes.

IIRC, the VHS cost something like $30-40, which is high compared to DVD new releases, but was downright reasonable compared to most VHS new releases, which were usually $80-90 (this to satisfy the likes of Cocksucker Blockbuster).

That said, I don't disagree with you concerning his motives (including the new new new new new new new new new new new release).

I wanted the disk coming out for a long time now, ever since there were DVDs. Lucas jerked me off for years without even the courtesy of handing me a Penthouse. He could promise me the moon now, but I lost interest.
