Interesting, but for the younger generations I guess. Lost interest after Episode I to be honest, saw the others but not even in cinema. Couldn't even say what the last one was like or if I actually saw it.
On the other hand, I'd personally be highly interested in an unedited collection of IV-VI.
would be nice, but any reproduction would come from a VHS as the original masters are no more.
Oh joy, more Jar-Jar Binks.

This is the best Star Wars news in a VERY long time.
Finally we'll get more movies!!!! FINALLY.
Thanks Mavimao. At least hope ain't completely lost, but looking at Disney cutting, editing, manipulating, re-dubbing movie history - Fantasia or The Black Cauldron comes to mind - little faith is gained. At some point it will happen I'd guess, for the sake of $$$$.
Besides, I think this is good news for everybody who could get along with I-III.
I remember driving to the cinema with a friend, talking about how often we'd going to watch this movie (Episode I) in the theatres, as we were too young for the 'originals'. Well, not so much.
I was milliseconds from calling "April fools!" in October.
I'm torn... I waited for the prequel trilogy for 16 years, and as I sat there in 1999 watching an anticlimax of epic proportions violate my senses as gungans hurled blue balls at vacuum cleaners with legs, I thought to myself... "What the hell is this Disney ************?!?"
Now I'm like "Yay! The sequel trilogy I always wanted!"... followed by "Hold on... the prequel trilogy sucked and now it's LITERALLY turning into Disney BS... so why am I excited?"
Oh well, who knows. Maybe they'll do much better than Lucas did, and restore the franchise to its former glory.
Episode I sucked, Episode II was mediocre, and Episode III was great until the last 3 minutes.
I have high expectations. Disney isn't going to mess this up in the same way Episode I was messed up. They may screw it up, but we won't see any dumb Jar Jar Binks crap again.
I sometimes wonder if the original Star Wars was a fluke and that his sensibilities were screwed up all along. The limitations of late 70's technology as well as budget constraints forced him to make a movie that was much less than he wanted... which may have been exactly the resistance he needed to make a great movie.Don't get me wrong, GL was brilliant when he was young. He just had a major change in his sensibilities in the couple decades he took off from filmmaking. I suspect they could have made a much better Indy 4 (and probably no aliens) without having to pander to what he wanted.
