Star Wars on DVD

:grin:

Star Wars DVDs Coming

As expected, Lucasfilm and Fox on Feb. 10 announced that they will finally release DVD editions of the first three Star Wars films on Sept. 21 in North America, with international release dates following closely. Lucasfilm Ltd. and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will release the four-disc collection as the Star Wars Trilogy, which will feature the special editions of the three movies, not their original theatrical release versions.

The set will include Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, along with a bonus disc filled with all-new special features, including a feature-length documentary about the Star Wars saga and never-before-seen footage from the making of all three films, the company said. Each of the three films has been digitally restored and remastered by THX. The trilogy will be available exclusively as a collection and will feature Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX.

One minor gripe: Why not include both the original cut and the Special Edition of each flick? (RazzafrazzaGreedoshootingfirstgrumblegrrrrr)

This week’s category is just begging for flippant (instead of revealing) answers. I’ll do what I can to resist that urge. That being the case, I’m going to hide my answers behind a cut tag.
