new versions?
I look forward to the new version of return of the jedi where the ewoks are replaced with cgi gungans as per Lucas's original plans, it will help with continuity. That will be great.

Hey guys, i'm just kidding with you!

It's a scary thought though!!

I'm looking forward to this mother of all dvd collections, it will rock my subwoofer!!

Darth Lucas & The Problem With The "Star Wars" Saga
On 9/21/04 the most requested DVD title in its history will be released, "The Star Wars Trilogy". For die-hard "Star Wars" purists, all middle fingers will be waving westward to Skywalker Ranch and to George Lucas on the release date. With the "Special Editions" being Lucas' choice for this release (he has said, in the past, that film is an ever changing art form, and adding insult to injury, also said that the original releases no longer exist) a lot of fans are disgruntled to say the least.

The problem for me isn't the release of the special edition DVD's, but the lack of special features. I've read a lot of press releases on the box set and have yet to see the special features that fans are clamoring for. There is a lot of talk about the feature length documentary that is directed by award winning documentaerian Ken Burns (it better be as good as it sounds. Of course thats what Lucasfilm said about "Episode I" before its release in 1999)
The rest of the features are a mixed bag, that takes the focus off the original trilogy. A ten minute look at "Episode III" (which will be released in 2005) with a video game preview, timed for the release of the film, are included. Also there is a playable demo to "Star Wars: Battleground". As for deleted scenes and trailers don't hold your breath.

Bascially, Lucas is using the original trilogy as a mareketing tool to ensure a*ses in the seats for "Episode III" (he also did this 2001 with the re-release of the trilogy on VHS for "Episode II". The preview for that sucked). What a cop out.

Whats up with all this widescreen
I mean it dosen't make sense at all for us lovers of full
screen..First of all Attack of the clones came out with both options either wide screen or full screen which is how it should now be adopted.Most movies now have the full screen version on one side and the wide screen version on the other, perfect,This accomodates everyone.What totaly perplexes me is George lucas (The True King of the film indutry) released the Attack of the Clones along with all of the Indiana Jone's trilogy as optional wide screen format/or full screen.But now I here the original Star Wars trilogy is offered only in wide screen.Whats up with this. Is this a technical thing.If someone from either Amazon/Fox or lucas film could exsplain to me why we are not offered the specific version we want (full/wide)

It would be gratfully appreciated and end alot of debate I have had with others.
Thanks p.s please excuse me if the original trilogy is optional
re:full/wide formats

John M,
