I wish Lucasfilm would step up and release a The Original Trilogy on the Blu-ray format and drive more nails into the coffin of the desperate folks on the side of the HD-DVD format.
300 on Blu-Ray has shown that enough units can be sold to make this a profitable and worthwhile venture. Just as Microsft hopes to move more XBOX 360 consoles by lowering the price and making Halo 3 an XBOX 360 only title, Lucasfilm and Fox could further the adoption of a single High Def DVD format by supporting Blu-Ray just like Fight Club from Fox and The Matrix from Warner Brothers did on DVD.
We know that they will release the discs 6,7,8 or more times and make enought money, so George like Luke said to Leia while dangling from Cloud City in Empire, "Hear me" and hear the others who don't want to keep watching our Cinemax or HBO HD Tivo'ed copies of the trilogy.
We want them on High Def, on Blu-ray, with extra features, The Biggs Scenes, The Wampas in Echo Base and the first alternate cut of A New Hope.
