These are, from reviews on the link, not the original un-"improved" versions. As such, I would have to pass.

@fenriq, I would agree, some things cannot be improved upon.

You don't see them going back and inserting Ralph Fiennes into the Voldemort scenes in "Harry Potter 1," so why do they feel the need to put Hayden Christensen into "Return of the Jedi?"

I've always felt that alteration-- and the slobbery furball lead-singer in Jabba's palace-- were much more distracting than having Greedo shoot first.

@j0hnlind: I would say such things SHOULDN'T be improved on, and certainly in this case were not improved on.

Sigh....why can't there be a deal on a Star Wars Blu-ray without these repetitive comments? Some of these changes have been in place for 15 years. Get over it.

Anyway, skip this set and go for the 9-disc version. The Behind-the-Scenes, Deleted Scenes, and Bonus Material are worth it.

If you're old enough to remember New Coke and the resulting backlash, then you're old enough to have grown up with the unadulterated trilogy.

This is not a deal. This is the same price as Walmart. I wish people would stop posting this never-changing price of $32.99

@dsmokay: That's exactly what I was thinking. When I first saw this I was like "wait... that's not really a discount.. is it?"

I might buy this Blu-ray set if it gets down to $15 of so but I have little interest in it due to the changes. Yeah, complain about my complaining but I KNOW the original cuts of the films will come along eventually!
