First, we had the original, original Star Wars trilogy. Then, we had the THX certified original Star Wars trilogy. Finally, we had the Special Edition original Star Wars trilogy with added scenes.

Now, George Lucas has admitted in a TV Guide interview that will appear in next week's issue that he's filmed all new scenes for Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. He plans to insert them into the original trilogy once work has been completed on Episode III.

Would that be the Special Special Edition? Or maybe the Bonus Special Edition? Man, Lucas is going to have to hire someone just to come up with names for the many different versions of his movies...
