So JP pointed me to this bit of news last week. Someone finally smacked Lucas on the mouth and in a brief moment of lucidity, he decided to release the original theatre releases of episodes 4-6 on DVD. Originals. On DVD.
OMG. FINALLY.
This means I don’t have to own and maintain a laserdisc player anymore. It used to be the only way I could watch high-quality versions of the original trilogy. And, by “high-quality” I mean “before Lucas turned them into total ass”. I’ll probably still keep the ol’ laserdisc around. Mostly because I’m a giant nerd, and also I’ve found that it’s important to kick it old-school.
To commemorate this event, I thought it suitable to bust out that old Star Wars gangsta rap once again. Also, there’s now a new special edition. How appropriate!
Naturally I like the first one better.

I gather this is original-original: like no new Emperor lines in Empire, like no new Anikin, like no new Fett lines.
Ho00RAY!
Lucas is still a f*ckhead though. His brain has gone to rot. They probably had to tie him down and ball gag the mofo to pull this one off.
