I have no idea how I missed this one this Thursday:

May the Fourth be with you!

Also, it looks like director turned whore Darth Greedious doesn't have enough money, so he's re-rereleasing the original (read: good) trilogy in its original (read: non-fucked up) form:
In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie and, as bonus material, the theatrical edition of the film. That means you'll be able to enjoy Star Wars as it first appeared in 1977, Empire in 1980, and Jedi in 1983.

See the title crawl to Star Wars before it was known as Episode IV; see the pioneering, if dated, motion control model work on the attack on the Death Star; groove to Lapti Nek or the Ewok Celebration song like you did when you were a kid; and yes, see Han Solo shoot first.
See the movie as it came out before Lucas had to fuck up everything and ruin my childhood.

Also, what a perfect opportunity to stick it to all the loyal fans that bought the "remastered" versions in 2004 when they came out. Now those suckers have to shell out even more money to Darth Greedious just to see Han shoot first.
