It's the big DVD announcement you've all been waiting for: Lucasfilm and Twentieth Century Fox have announced the DVD Release for Star Wars Trilogy DVD on September 21st. This special 4 disc box set will include the three 'original' Star Wars movies (Star Wars IV: A New Hope, Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi) presented in THX Anamorphic Widescreen and Dolby Digital-EX. Each film will be released in the 'Special Edition' version (including the changes made to the films for their theatrical re-release in 1997) and feature audio commentary by George Luca s and select members of the cast and crew. In addition to the three features the box set will also feature a fourth disc including making-of documentaries and features for the 3 films as well as a 2 hour documentary including never-before-seen footage. There will NOT be an option to view the films in their original theatrical version and the films will not be sold individually. Exact pricing for the set, specific disc extras and an official pre-order date to be announced in the weeks ahead. |

Dunno, a mate emailed me this.....could be. First I heard of it. This will be the mother of all DVD boxsets :P |

hey when is the third movie coming? |
||||||||
|
|

May 2005....and I can't wait for that either! :D |

i hate the fact that the prequels killed my love of the starwars storyline. i mean, don't get me wrong, the originals will always be classics, and i will probably buy this boxed set... but, they'll never be on the same pedestal that they were on before jar-jar and his hijinx. |

Star wors party at your house then chris ! ;o) |

Nonsense. |

this box set is going to be overpriced I guarantee it...I will wait until I can steal it. I haven't seen any of the Star Wars films get so another couple of years won't make any difference. |

The price tag does not bother me.......it will be mine WHATEVER! :P You know, somethings in life you just have to have! Hehehe |

agreed, it shouldn't affect your opinions on the first films but it still does, how can it be the same person making these new ones? It's like the last 2 Matrix films, I used to love the first one but the sudden way they went downhill was just such a shock and it makes you think "was that first one really good if the same people can make this shit?" |
||||||||
|
|

|

aaah shit not the tampered-with versions.. those suck. :( why not bring out the old skool star wars.. damn.. I was afraid they'd do this.. |
||||||||
|
|

|

there's so much wrong with the prequels that it just makes me sad. and i'm not talking bad special effects, or even jar-jar being annoying, because c3po was sorta like that too. but, they seemed really bad. fragmented plot tangents that spiral off into nowhere, dumbed down clichéd one liners, i don't even know... i could actually hear my childhood innocence being crushed, lifeless and cold by episode one. then, as it hovered above my empty shell of an awkward bitter adult body i was forced to watch episode II spit on it. i'm scared of episode III. |

noooooo, the one where Gredo (sp?) shoots an inch from Han Solo's face and misses??? With all the shit CGI??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck yes. :( "Each film will be released in the 'Special Edition' version (including the changes made to the films for their theatrical re-release in 1997)" |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
fuck :( |

I can't wait! :D |

whoops. ignore my topic. |

this I'd love to have... the prequels suck though, imo... the originals are classics though, and always will be! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YES!!! Finally =) Notice how the release date is a good warm up date for the Episode 3 premier. |
||||||||

yeah i see it. amazing! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's wrong with the special editions? They are superior, if only for the fact that they are digitally remastered... but I love the added scenes anyway! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the newer star wars were SOOOOOOOO fucking stupid, crappy crappy movies, I hated them. the original 3 were great!... the new 2 ruined... them... ruined! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The orginal three were not blighted by the prequels. I'm sure quite a lot of people prefer the originals, but most people are sensible enough to see this. As to the original versions not being on the DVD, George Lucas did say when the special editions were released that they were the 'definitive' versions of Star Wars....the way they were meant to be. Also, the original versions would have been to poor in terms of picture quality to put on DVD, this was also mentioned in the small documentary on the 'A New Hope' video that was released not so long ago.........in a galaxy far far away! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Absolutely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why not just re-master the originals without the new scenes? They could at lease take the STUPID Gredo scene! WTF was all that about? Missing from an inch away? Did he have too much to drink or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its like some dodgy Vampire B-movie I saw called Razorblade Smile, this woman must have shot 20 rounds from about 5ft from this guy and they either hit the floor or missed. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
hahah, lucas has you by the balllsszzz. so finally after 30 years, you guys get to finally see it on DVD. OMG OMG!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not the original releases? I HATE the new versions with that stupid cgi crap added to them. It really ruins the films for me. Stupid Lucas cant leave good films to rest |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess most of you had different experiences, but as a HUGE fan of the originals all my life and having seen them so many times, I was fucking thrilled to see new content.. I thought the CGI was pretty good, but maybe it isn't by most standards (dunno). I still feel that the special editions are the definitive versions though. |
||||||||

Hey chris, I thought you might like to see this... ;) (yep, that's my mouse pointer) |

just a note: on the terminator (#1) dvd, you can turn the special edition *on and off!* like, with new scenes or without. hopefully they'll do that for star wars too. i really hope so. |
||||||||
|

nice pointer zephyr! |

try reading the first post in the thread, boy-o!! "There will NOT be an option to view the films in their original theatrical version.." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AGAH!!! must'a missed that cuz i did read it. damn, now i'm dissapointed. my subconcious mind passed right over that because it knew i didn't want to see it. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

't is a shocker, I know. :( |
||||||||
|

bleh. |

i like to play with my star wars dollys at home and make engine noises with the millenium falcon with the chess set in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have this lovely childhood memory of having my Han Solo doll fuck Leia up her ass, with all the apropriate noises, only finding out after about 5 minutes of simulating this orgy that my brother was hiding behind the bed all the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that a light sabre in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my oh my, mr. Vader, you sure sound like one excited little bunny.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i lied. i couldn't afford the millenium falcon, my brother had an x-wing fighter and a crappy lander thing from the tree sequence on endor. he once made me cry by pretending that he's ripped off r2-d2's head by turning him upside down and moving the legs around 180 degrees and holding it in the middle |

|
|
how cruel and yet amusing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had the last laugh. i buried his c3-po in the garden and it was never found. he was in therapy for about 3 years after that. he won't be doing that again, rest assured. |

couldn't have said it better m'self |
