Ladies and Gentlemen, we got 'em...

I got the new SW DVD's. I feel like such a sucker... another box set in my collection... I still have 2,5 VHS box sets of the OT, now 2 DVD box sets... I must be insane to let Lucas empty my wallet.

SUCKER! I'm not buying them. Waste of money.

I fancied buying A New Hope for the cantina scene...But I don't fancy going out to buy it for that sole purpose, perhaps on the way back from a bar, and if a nice store is open at 2am I'll splash out on it 🙂

have a couple of drinks first

The menus are nice.

Ah well, it kinda replaces the VHS tapes.

I find something strange though. I have two box sets: one with the 1997 SE's (which is on the new DVD's) but I also have a remastered VHS box of the OT BEFORE the SE's.... Why isn't that on those DVD's... they were practically the originals but in good condition one wouldn't need a letterbox 4:3 version of...

I heard the menus were awesome.

ye ive only bought the Empire Strikes Back DVD, and the menu for that is cool but after the menu has come up its boring after that theres just still pictures, but the first few seconds of the menu comin up is great!

and i can now fully appriciate the new versions of the trilogy, not that i didn't before, its just now i can see the comparisons on the same format and same screen

but i will agree that it is a bit expensive to keep buying all these, and cant really afford it, but hell its Star Wars!!!

its done out of spite. nothing more

that trilogy is for a limited time only, what a money maker. Man, next theres going to be

-A PT trilogy box set
-A PT special edition box set
-A 6 movie original box set
-A 6 movie special edition box set

then finally it might end
oh wait, then there will be a re do the OT trilogy again, then the PT and then it will start all over again

This was a nice article: dreaming of the ultimate SW DVD box, which will probably never come but SHOULD!

err... wrong forum?

I might get these at some stage... But let's face it, there will be tonnes of opportunities to get films on various formats in the future. So I'm in no hurry.

True true... but the menu's are nice. 😉

yeah i have them aswell

indiana jones 4. that will be the next time that spiteful little fat man ever sees another dime from me....well $9.50 if you want to be anal about it.

So they're saying the originals are being released for the first and ONLY time on "DVD"...but does that necessarily mean that they wont be released again (such as on "HD"-DVD)???

Is this Lucas just giving the originals a dvd format and putting them to rest, or are they just fiddling w/ words?

he's going to have to eventually remaster and sell the OOT in widescreen....after all how else will he pay the bill for his cryogenic freezing.

oh dont even pretend you dont just know he'll do that

He said he'd never release them on DVD, period.... He said he'd never release any OT on the current DVD format... He did both. So what are we to believe. I start saving up for the next SW box set.

That's so funny, I just found this quote after reading your post...

"Star Wars will never be on home video." - George Lucas circa 1978/1979

😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

Collect them all, I'd say.

Its surprising for being such a technologically advanced filmaker that we didn't get the OT on DVD until '04.
