Episode-II Select 46

Nah, the OT has never been on DVD. FJS are definately not selling a PC with some SW DVD bundle else I'd have heard about it through work.

Our marketing division would have put something through on the internal mail and website of this was the case.

It may be some games, but the are definately no OT DVDs available yet.

They probably meant laserdiscs or something, which can be played in some DVD players.

But not the kind that come in a PC. Well, not an FJS PC anyway. And 5inch laserdisks aren't that common now.

I very much doubt that the bundle referred to includes any Star Wars movies.

Laserdics are available (or were) but they are big. They don't fit in DVD players, don't know if the OT is available on video disc though.

Anyway, it's the DVD you want anyway, and that's not available until 2006.

And why not until 2006?

Pardon?

It's because GL and RM have stated that George will wait to releace all 6 films at once and he wants that time to put the special extras and goodies he wants to have in the DVD.

I dont really understand especialy because of how many VHS versions that have come out. Two versions in the 80's then the blue and black boxes, now two releaces of SE.

I say GL should releace stripped down versions of the first 4 films and then the other 2 when they come out. If he did that once a year then people would still be gassed for the Box set DVDs.

Also according to a rumor TPM will come out on DVD this Christmas. If this is true then my theory may also be. If not then we will all have to wait. (unless you can order bootlegs from China) 😉

Yeah..I think they had said that a long time ago but due to pressure from the fans GL decided that maybe it was time to put out a DVD...I think TPM will be out sooner than that.

TPM is said to be released by Christmas with three versions on it: the theatrical version (finished), the plain edited version without effects (just blue screens and stuff), and the animatics version. COOL!!!

And in October or so the Indiana Jones trilogy is supposed to be released on DVD with lots of goodies.

That sounds more like it.. it'll be nice to have some little extra goodies on the DVD too. 😄

I saw several magazines in the news agents with DVD dates in October for TPM.

'Raiders' will have some deleted scenes, like the original fight sequences in the market place. You know, the long extensive fights which got dumped because Ford was sick and felt shooting the big Arab was a better idea.... the highlight of the movie.

Also, there was a short scene where Indy and Marion leave the Well of the Souls and there's a German out there who thinks they are ghosts.

And more...

Those sound interesting...I wonder what other goodies they're thinking about putting in.

If any, it's strange; sometimes you get lots of goodies, sometimes you get none.

Not sure Indy will have me rushing out to by a DVD just yet.

Will TPM?
