I wont be buying it if it comeso ut..I have the 9 disc edition on blu-ray and it's the edits i like.

I want the best of both worlds: All the enhanced and updated effects, none of the alterations or additions to the story. Honestly, I'm a big fan of "Han shoots first", but it's the "Han meets Jabba" scene that I find most jarring in the revised Episode IV.

How about they just put all the options on one disk?
Original Release
Special Edition (1)
DVD Release (1)
DVD Release (2)
Letterbox only (sorry, but I think that's what most people would want anyway).

A friend loaned me Hardware Wars Special Edition on VHS so I could try to put it onto a DVD. Not sure about the success. That would be another case where it would be nice to get an official factory edition (it's only a 10-minute short: both versions on 1 disk!!!).

Were the original versions ever released on dvd?

I wish ... I have the originals on VHS, but no longer have a VHS machine!

Supposedly, but no.

Yes, but...

(They were released as bonus features for the 2008 release of the trilogy. However, the video was non-anamorphic and not the best quality. It's also worth noting that these really were the original versions, so it's just "Star Wars", not any of this "Episode Four: A New Hope" nonsense. )
