Here's the link to a good article regarding the changes to the original trilogy on the Blu-ray release:

And of course the now customary Hitler hates...

Hitler has never made me laugh so much.

All George Lucas has to do is release a cleaned up original theatrical release of the original Star Wars trilogy on Blu-ray and then all the fan vitriol would go away. He'd be forgiven for all the tinkering of the special editions, as long as we have a copy of the original that we all know and love. Perhaps the fear is that if he did that, then nobody would buy his special editions and he'd have to face the cold hard truth that not that many people prefer them over the original cut.

Going to head off now to lock my tin box collection of the original videos and Dvds of the theatrical release in a vault now. Sounds like they're only going to become more precious as the years go on.
