    Due out next month.
    The trailer gives an interesting spin on things. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a different movie. And while I'm sure I'm alone in this, I wish they'd include the version with the voice over narration. I know everybody hates it, but I actually like it, even if I do think that the added scenes in the other versions make for a better movie (as well as the enigmatic ending of the film).

    If the video quality gets good reviews, this is a must-buy (I have several versions on DVD and Blu-Ray already).

    I'm waiting for Bladerunner to come in a powder that I can either sniff, of cook on a spoon and inject.

    Hmmm. Let's see...

    I have the original non-anamorphic DVDs. Yech.

    I have the later anamorphic DVDs with the non-anamorphic original theatrical cuts.

    And I have the Blu-Ray set.

    I hope they at least have an HD version of the theatrical cut when they bring out the 4K release.

    I used to have the Star Wars limited edition that had the special edition and theatrical cut, apparently they are rare. Unfortunately, I sold them and bought the 2011 blue ray's.

    At the time the last DVDs came out, Lucas was spinning some bullshit that the theatrical versions only existed in their laserdisc-mastered versions, so a 16×9 (or, later, HD) release was impossible.

    Apparently, Disney has said not so, and releases of the original versions in HD (or higher) are possible going forward. Whether they *will* release them is another story.

    Yes, but I'll wait for a legit release.

    Funny, I just watched the latest and greatest TWOK Blu-Ray this past weekend. Still holds up.

    I know I'll instantly lose all my movie cred but I have never seen this movie through. Like GODFATHER, I fall asleep inevitably. It's so boring!

    I find the Godfather to be boring as fuck. So I've never sat through and watched the whole thing.

    A release of the original, unaltered versions would be a day #1 purchase for me. Easy money for Disney, they should take it.
