This change means I will not purchase the Blu-Ray versions. What a travesty.
I wish Lucas would do this to Omoslem’s speeches.

Same here. The original, theatrical versions are included with the limited edition 2006 DVDs. These are two disk packs with the crummy 2004 remake on the main disk and the theatrical release on the bonus disk.
Lucas, for whatever reason, wants to keep screwing with the films and apparently refuses to remaster the theatrical releases that endeared us to Star Wars in the first place. As far as I’m concerned, he’ll never get another dime from me no matter how many times he repackages and tweaks Star Wars. Until such time that the original theatrical versions are restored and released, I’m not buying.
