They're only going to be the special editions. I would prefer the theatrical releases as well, but it's not our playground.

I suspect there'll be a "special" special edition at some point of the theatricals, just so we can be gouged that little bit deeper. Lucas may say it's not going to happen, but I think many fans will want them, and he'll soon cotton on to the fact that there's more money to be made
I had a marathon of the original trilogy the other night and noticed how visible alot of mistakes with the effects are on the dvd version. They'll be even more visible on bluray so that's probably why it's taking so long for the set to be released, they'll be wanting to clean that up.
And of course there will be another bluray set a year or two later with the original editions but they won't say that, thinking fans will wait for it instead of buying the upcoming set.
I've noticed on a lot of things i watch on Bluray thhat you can see a lot of artifacts, Matte lines etc... Makes me sad.

It's because few things that go on bluray are really meant to go on bluray. Or at least not without lots more time and money put into the conversion than is actually spent on it

That all depends on the quality of the film they used, and how well it was stored. If it was stored properly, and re-scanned frame by frame from the original media (instead of what a certain company pulled with Robocop, and up-scaled the DVD transfer...not that I'm bitter in the slightest!), then it should look awesome! (btw, the film grain you get with blu-ray is not an artifact, but what you would normally see on screen at your local theatre.)
