30th Anniversary - And Nothing Happened??
It's now 2008.
The 30th Anniversary came and went - and nothing happened, really.
Not like the 20th Anniversary, when all three came back to theatres, remastered, and still did huge business. And the prequels finally started up filming.
I thought we were going to see all six films return to theatres - wasn't IMAX 3-D the plan?
I thought we would finally see the DVD box set of all six films released - didn't happen. I WANT to see the improved Yoda for TPM. 
One large convention in May, and that's all? I can't believe it.

Yeah, I must agree...I thought there would be more, besides a Darth Vader stand-up at my local Athena, there was nothing really here.

I think it was because Lucas was waiting for the debut of a new format, that would end the battle between HD-DVD & Blu-ray. That's when the sextet box would come out. But the format battle continues, and he chose to continue sitting on the fence rather than choose a format.
It's not like he hasn't released the films in multiple versions before and raked in millions - what's one more release? 
It's actually helped me to sit on the sidelines, too. Whatever format STAR WARS gets released in, will be the one I buy into.

Me too. I think GL is right in a way about waiting for the winning format. I do the same and am very annoyed about these companies going head to head again. We finally had an international standard, and now they're at it again.

It will be a constant battle. But Blue-ray is quite expensive and I know nobody with a blue-ray player...but I am unsure of its popularity in other areas.

And I gues the theatrical rerelease hasn't happened because Lucas & Rick McCallum have failed to get the total overall of projectors - from film to digital - in the theatre chains thus far. It's still a future some years away.

The theatrical release IS there. It's on DVD. It's just not remastered and restored digitally.

Actually, marking the 30th there was a massive book released with tonnes of SW memorabilia enclosed in the pages called "The Star Wars vault" by Steve Sansweet.
It was £40 ($80) and I got it for xmas.
It has 2 Cds too.
Here it is on SW.com
http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/pr...oduct_id=414574
Not a DVD box set, I know but a damned good cheerer-upper in lieu of said boxset loveliness.

And you definately closed that thread because you knew I was right.

No, because it was off topic.
