Am I missing something or has not the StarWars been out for many years on VHS? Or are you brainwashed suckers now getting excited about the privilage of paying to 'upgrade' to DVD??

Personally I look forward to the release of the original trillogy. Sure for the movies themselves, but I'm hoping that there will be a whole bunch of 'Extra' behind the scenes stuff and perhaps some of the deleted scenes and out-takes.

My big worry is that it will sell for something like $100. I hope they release this at the same price target as the Indy trillogy. $54.95 for a trillogy of movies is fair.

September eh? Hmmm, I wonder at what turn we'll be in the NGC4 game? hmmm.

Cheers!

Oops! sorry guys, I did forget to mention that it was the dvd release I was referring to. I'd rather it be in September than the year 2006 or 2007, like I originally heard it was going to be released. I just hope they have two Versions. Both the original theaterical release, and the special editions. Nothing wrong with the special editions, but I'd like the option to see the original movies. HOpe the pre-ordering is soon.

I think it'll only be the "special edition".
They won't be releasing the original again, it was the Last time for the originals (the Last time), I think.

My gripe with DVDs is simplier. No fast forward! Or rewind, for that matter.

What kind of dvd player do you have? Most players do have a kind of fast forward or rewind, although it's not quite like a VCR machine. I got 2 dvd players and a PS2. Both of the regular players have a fast forward, and although I haven't really tried it, I think both of them have a reverse. I know on the PS2, that you can skip back and forth between chapters (I know, because I watch my 3 year old do it all the time when he's watching a movie). I wouldn't go back to a vcr for anything, even though I do have a tv/vcr combo and a dvd/vcr combo. My wife can buy tapes for my kid. I'll hold out for the dvd's.
