The 25th annual Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando kicked off this evening with a bang! During the question and answer session, film director/producer John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), revealed to the audience some unexpected and major news regarding Star Wars of all things.
Empire is reporting: "At a Q&A tonight John Landis dropped that Disney are finally going to re-release the theatrical cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy." Landis then added, the information was provided to him by his oldpal George Lucas.

Apparently George mentioned it when last they spoke. Somebody put Yub Nub on. Let the celebrations commence!

As ComicBook.com first reported last year, the Mouse House has plans to release A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of Jedi in their complete, unaltered, original form on Blu-ray. Though, I assume Landis is implying that Disney also plans to put those uncut versions, without the redone special edition SFX, back in theaters.
