News from the movie nerd department today in the form of a DVD release of the original, unaltered versions of the original Star Wars trilogy. After hundreds of thousands of fans wrote the Lucasfilm on the net, demanding such esoteric things as "Han shoots first", it's finally happening. The official link is here.
Before I go off to polish my pocket protector, I must reflect on how this demonstrates the power of the net to move certain companies to change. Things have come a long way from 1997, when I desperately searched through text-ridden websites looking for a quicktime movie of the "new" Star Wars footage. Now we just need to start our Blade Runner DVD petition.
