 There was controversy surrounding the initial release, because the DVDs featured non-anamorphic versions of the original films based on LaserDisc releases from 1993 (as opposed to newly remastered, film-based, high-definition transfers).Since non-anamorphic transfers fail to make full use of the resolution available on widescreen televisions, many fans were disappointed with this choice.On August 14, 2010, George Lucas announced that all six "Star Wars" films in their Special Edition form would be released on Blu-ray Disc in Fall 2011.
