As I am sure you know, George Lucas has announced he will not be releasing the ORIGINAL versions of the classic trilogy on DVD, only the Special Edition. Well worry not fans who don't like George's "han solo shoots first" version with other pointless changes there are two options still at your disposal.
1) Laser Disc. They were released on Laser Disc several years ago, and in 5.1 format. While Laser Disc players are obsolete with DVD out there, the players are pretty cheap these days, and if you are a big enough fan, it may be worth it to buy the player and the Laser Discs if you want to have the original. It will play great in any home theater.
2) DVD rips. Yes, there are bootleg DVD rips out there (most taken from the Laser Disc format) that you can download and burn to DVD for use in a DVD player. The quality is supposed to be very good. Yes, they are bootleg copies, but lets face it, if GL isn't going to get us what we want, we need to get it whatever way we can.
I think I am going to try option 2 first and see how the quality is. If I'm not satisfied I may order the Laser Disc versions and go that route.
