A bit cheaper from Amazon.com with a lot of information on them: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Harrison-Ford/dp/B00...

ADDED: tl;dr: a lot of people are seriously ... annoyed that Lucas refuses to supply the originals, as old timers saw them, in anything better than a copy of a non-anamorphic transfer made for a Laserdisc release (i.e. it's Academy ratio with the widescreen letterboxed image inside that. Better than VHS (certainly a lot higher bandwidth), but you can do a lot better with DVD...).

FURTHER ADDED, especially based on this link off of the ars article: http://secrethistoryofstarwars.com/savingstarwars.html:

It's hard to believe that I'll likely have to wait until sometime after Lucas dies to see as good a copy of real version of the first movie as the 70mm prints I saw in the summer of 1977....
