Star Wars Trilogy on DVD

Huehuetenango · 13th February 2004, 04:42

that's right, you heard me, George Lucas has decided to release the Star Wars trilogy (that's A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi) on DVD
odd since he once declared that he would never do this, but i'm not complaining
i just hope that you can choose to watch the ORIGINAL version, not the special edition

the news

yes, i know i'm a nerd
i don't care
i'm happy

I would very much doubt it, old George has said many many many times that the old originals are no longer part of the game plan and the only versions he thinks of as being definative are the special edition versions.

So I'd reckon your chances are somewhere between nill and not at all.

actually, i heard this one is an improvement over the SE.

like where vader is walking out after killing obi-wan, his lightsaber isnt colored...i heard they are gonna fix that.

I believe they already have, these "improved" versions have already been seen at various screenings around the US last year, fixing up one or two effects and stuff, nothing major.

The rumor list that did the round on the internet a while back that said he was basically going to re-edit all 3 films again, splicing in new sequences, replacing things like muppet yoda with digital yoda etc etc really made for some funny reading, I'll try dig it up later, maybe it was true, maybe it wasn't...

I have been waiting for this since I was born.

ive been waiting for it slightly less....when i learned of the dvd format....and the wonders of bonus features and excellent digital quality

I thought he was only going to release them out on DVDs after the end of the second trilogy(prequels) were out and over. Isn't there one more?

Mr Jones · 14th February 2004, 23:34

Cynical cash in maybe?

Release them now, people rush out in their millions to buy them, 18 months down the line he can then release the 'ultimate definate super deluxe 12 disc box set' and fleece you all over again.

Wouldn't be the first time he's done something like that.
