drive me home and back again

this september we can all watch han solo shoot first once again. lucasfilm announced today that they will be releasing the original star wars trilogy, in the original theatrical version, on dvd this fall. in the past george lucas had said this version would never be released again, but i'm glad they changed their minds. although it wouldn't surprise me if they'd planned this all along so that people would buy the special editions on dvd (i would have anyway), but i'm sure not going to complain.
