In an interview carried in the latest STAR WARS INSIDER magazine, George Lucas reiterated he will never allow the original, non-SPECIAL EDITIONS of the STAR WARS movies to be released on DVD.
When asked if the films could be included as part of the supposedly massive DVD boxed set release of the original trilogy, Lucas said, ""I don't think so. I think of the film as THE SPECIAL EDITION. I don't think of it as the early version, any more than I would put early rough cuts on.... I consider THE SPECIAL EDITION as being the final version at this point. I don't even worry about the other ones, because it went through a lot of incarnations to get to the final stage."'
This seems an interesting take on the subject, since Lucasfilm said in 1997 the original versions of the films were destroyed in order to create the SPECIAL EDITIONs. Seems they do exist after all.
