OT - Original Star Wars trilogy out THIS YEAR!!!

[David E. Gervais]

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.

actually these ones will be a reissue of those movies that came out a couple of years ago. With Lucas's new spin on the movies. And then some additional changes as he re writes the Star Wars movies to what he feels is better.

Such as Han Solo is a good guy.

And the fact that he fired first against Gecko (?) in Star wars has been changed to that he fired back. Cause good guys don't shoot first.


Wonder what other changes he has in place ?

That's the only thing I hate about the revised edition of A New Hope. I think Lucas did it because of his kids, but I think he should have kept it like it origanally was, to show that Han is a little bit of a scoundrel, which is one reason why Leia fell in love with him. Keep the original scene, George. It was fine like it was!!

no, we solved that problem. it was going light and dark in waves. we got this box-thing, i forget what it's called, that doesn't run the dvd through the vcr, which was the problem.

Thank goodness the trilogy will be out *just in time* for the holiday season.

quote:
The fourth disc will be for bonus features, including what the companies described as "the most comprehensive feature-length documentary ever produced about the `Star Wars' saga" and archive footage from the making of all three films. ... The Versions on DVD will feature only the special editions, LucasFilm spokeswoman Lynn Hale said.

Thanks for the link. Darn, I was hoping to get the original Versions also. Oh well, I can live with the special editions.
