The original, unaltered Star Wars trilogy is rumored to be re-released this year to mark the 40th anniversary of A New Hope. While fans have speculated for years that George Lucas will finally release the first edits of the iconic 1977, 1980 and 1983 films to the public in a variety of formats, a concrete announcement appears imminent. Numerous industry sources have informed fan site Making Star Wars that the original edits are on their way. This is a big deal for diehard fans, many of whom argue the versions they saw in cinemas during the late 70s and early 80s are far superior to the versions later released to the public.
[...] The 40th anniversary of A New Hope occurs on May 22.

I can see this new spoiler thing is going to be big. But are you kidding? Darth Vader has a son? Who is it?
Not enough of a plot to base an entire trilogy on.

He got it on with Chewy's mum, and spawned Wicket.
Genius by birth. Evil by choice.
