Nov 1: Experience Episode III on DVD and Star Wars Battlefront II
July 25, 2005


This November 1st will be a landmark day for fans to celebrate the saga with two major releases in Star Wars home entertainment. The explosive and emotional finale to the saga,Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, arrives on DVD and Star Wars Battlefront II, the sequel to the most successful Star Wars game ever, arrives on Xbox, Playstation 2, Windows PC and Sony PSP formats.

Lucasfilm and Fox Home Entertainment present a two-disc set for the Revenge of the Sith DVD, with uncompromising picture and sound mastered directly from the original digital source material. The DVD will include a brand-new full-length documentary produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. as well as two new featurettes -- one that explores the prophecy of Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One, and the other that looks at the movie's amazing stunts. A 15-part collection of Lucasfilm's groundbreaking web documentary series, Making Episode III, will also be included in the set. A two-level playable demo of Star Wars Battlefront II is also included on the DVD.

"Revenge of the Sith gave audiences an extraordinary experience, and we want this DVD to do the same," said Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing and Distribution for Lucasfilm Ltd. "From the beginning of production, George wanted to be sure we chronicled everything that went into the making of Episode III specifically to create an incredible DVD experience. This DVD has literally been three years in the making, and it's going to be a fantastic way to complete the Star Wars saga at home."

In addition to its November 1st debut in the U.S. and Canada, Revenge of the Sith debuts on DVD in most major territories around the world on or about the same day.


For those who actually want to live out the action of the Star Wars universe, there's Star Wars Battlefront II, available on the same day. LucasArts' sequel to the smash hit Star Wars Battlefront adds all new space combat, playable Jedi characters, and never-before-seen environments straight out of Episode III to the hard-hitting action. In addition to the group combat, Star Wars Battlefront II also has an all-new single-player experience that transports gamers through an epic, story-based saga centering on Darth Vader's elite 501st Legion of stormtroopers.

Gear up for the combat zone by pre-ordering Star Wars Battlefront II from StarWarsShop.com and receive an exclusive free T-shirt displaying the game's logo. You can pre-order by clicking here.

Start planning your viewing parties now! With the November 1st release of Episode III on DVD, it will mean that the entire Star Wars saga -- from The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi -- will be available on DVD.

Bet ya $10 he's on the back cover.

matreid
Well, that's a given! wink

Ast Rofan
I like the cover, but the mix of art and photo is odd. Are the other 6 like that? The mask and the duel are artwork.

Darth Nauj
Cant wait till it comes out big grin

vader519
This is awesome, and I like the cover.

They have to keep up with the collage of pictures-style they set for the DVDs, rather than the actual art they were issued with, which is what I would prefer for any and all of them...

theshakl
To be honest, i'm not very impressed....

*runs away*

The New History
oh damn cool, can't believe I missed this!

mandalorian_war
i think the vader helmet looks kind of weird

Anakin2Vader
If anyone is motivated to make a useable cover out of this pleeeease do so. I would appreciate it very much

BAILY
I think it is the best cover since AOTC

Darth_Vader05
I agree with Baily best DVD cover for any of the films and i can wait to watch them all from The Phantom Menace - Return Of The Jedi.

$100?!

The DVD when it first comes out will be about $15.00 from Wal-Mart (and if Toys-R-Us does what they did with Episode II you'll be able to pick it up for $9.99). BF II should only cost $40.

Tulak Hord
$15.00 for such a great movie? HOW COULD THEY!

Because Wal-Mart always has great deals the first week a movie is out. My place to shop for new releases.

Tulak Hord
Well I'll just wait on BF II.

muserke
I'm saving my money to buy BF II and I'll probably get the DVD for Christmas. Or buy it sooner if I really can't wait.

Awwwsome cover! It's better than Ep III's. Mm....well, I can always get the movie later. I saw it, so I know what goes on. but with BF II....it's unpredictable...yeah, movie can wait. Xmas is the best time of year lol. BF I was cool for those days when you were really pissed off, and needed to kill.

Congratulations, I have had it on my computer for weeks. But if you hold on to that and dont buy the "real" DVD, you are an ass.

Ushgarak
These boards are massively uninterested in the quality, or existence, of pirated gear. Talk about the real thing or nothing, thanks.

Darth_Vader05
I agree Ushgarak i dont think i labled this thread as the bootleg DVD of Episode III i thought i named it the Official Episode III DVD thread.

vader519
And why are downloading the movie off the web. You know I see people on the forum talk about how the want ROTS to make $400 million, yet they are downloading the movie off the web.

darthmonkey9206
i saw rots 4 times in the theater while i had the copy on my computer, and i plan to get the dvd aswell.

Darth_Vader05

Any news on when they will have all six episodes in one box set?

Stunrun
November 1st - am counting down the days big grin - mostly excited for the deleted scenes and most of the extras, and ofcoarse - endulging myself in Battlefront II for a few hourshappy

obiwills
Gah, I've never even played Battlefront 1! What's it like? Are there lightsaber duels at all? Those are my favorite in Star Wars games. I love the Star Wars Ep III game just for the duels.

For both ROTS alone AND the 6 ep boxed set? Excellent!

Will be the ONLY thing on my wish list...LOL

Sith Master X
I wish they'd release an UE Soundtrack for ROTS. Alot the music in the movie is completely altered, especially Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan.

Jedi Priestess
noooooooooooooooo way the 6 piece box set comes out Nov 1st???? Thought it was just ROTS?

Sith Master X
Actually, it's looking like the ROTS DVD might not come out until Nov. 8th now, because some specs for the 2-disc set have apparently not quite been finalized.

SS_181st_Snow
Omg! 7 more days? HOW WILL WE LIVE!? AAAHHHH

.:Space Opera:.
i see no official press releases on the box set coming out on NOV. 1
