I think we all assumed this would be one of the fastest ways Disney would start recouping some of their four billion dollar investment in LucasFilm, but ComicBook.com has now confirmed that the original, unaltered cuts of Episodes IV through VI will be released on Blur-ray. Han will be shooting first and the horrible CG Jabba will be gone.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. The Special Editions did improve upon some things. I think we can all get behind cleaning up the special effects like removing the obvious matte lines, but want the plot changes and new character dropped (especially the sock puppet in Jabba’s palace). I hope that’s the version we’re getting.
