Original Star Wars Trilogy to be released on DVD

[moonshiner]

We've confirmed "unofficially" with three separate sources, each in positions to know, that at least SOME new footage is being added to the films

i'm going to say one thing on this, people would love and embrace all this extra stuff if George Lucas was a beloved sci-fi writer and the Star Wars books were classics long before the movie...obviously this is not the case, and nobody cares about Lucas' determination to perfect a work of art that has, in essence, become a commercial steamroller...

i meant everything i said except the part about only saying one thing on the matter, and the part about nobody caring about what Lucas does

[El Duderino]

wow...especially the side with vader

[Ravi]

Shouldn't the gold one be widescreen?  Gold is better.

BTW, anyone see the Lucas parody on The Simpsons tonight?  "I'll just go back to copying westerns and samurai movies!"

Maybe it's platinum.

Yeah, that was my guess too, actually.

I think it's funny that we've all just come to terms with fullscreen dvd's. Two years ago i couldn't beleive that they were releasing dvds in fullscreen cause I felt dvd was supposed to be for movie lovers, but again the masses got ahold of something I liked.

[ono]

They should really just fucking stop releasing fullscreen DVDs.  Let the idiots fade away in the glorious splendor of natural selection, and the smart ones figure out that, hey, THIS is the way movies are supposed to be.  But WTF am I doing in a Star Wars thread anyway?  *goes to read more about Eternal Sunshine...*

That box is so damn beautiful. Sooo damn beautiful. The concept art Vader image is breathtaking.

[moonshiner]

it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine...

great packaging, what the dvd is all about, so glad to not be force fed 1 thru 3 just to get the real Star Wars' movies

Don't worry.  Those morons buying fullscreen will be crying when they get their widescreen TVs in a couple of years and complain that "the black bars are on the sides now."  

...and the sound of a hundred million geeks laughing will rise above the cities...
