This September: Original Unaltered Trilogy on DVD

Finally, Georges wants to make all SW fans happy (and probably wants more money by the same way 
).
Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie and, as bonus material, the theatrical edition of the film. That means you’ll be able to enjoy Star Wars as it first appeared in 1977, Empire in 1980, and Jedi in 1983.
But read also some comments found on The Force.net web site:
Video source: Same as used for the 1993 Definitive Collection Laserdisc.
Widescreen: Letterboxed, not anamorphic as the other Star Wars DVDs are. (IE, compared to most DVD releases which are anamorphic, these can’t possibly look as good as they would if anamorphic.)
Note: These DVDs will apparently not include the amazing restoration seen in the Special Edition set. They will not look as good, nor will they sound as good as the Special Edition sets.
Fan’s victory or (again) a good marketing action ? I don’t care and I’ll bought them
