Star Wars Trilogy on DVD - Just Annnounced

Lucas finally admitted he needed more 24k gold bathroom fixtures.

The Star Wars Trilogy will be released as a four-disc DVD box set September 21, with a global rollout on DVD expected within days of the domestic release, according to Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

The trilogy featuring the classic franchise films Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi will be released on three DVD discs, with a fourth disc likely to hold a newly made documentary about the "Star Wars" franchise and never-before-seen footage, among several other bonus materials, Jim Ward, Lucasfilm\'s vp marketing and distribution and the DVD trilogy\'s executive producer, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

"We are currently in the process of restoring and remastering all three titles for the DVD release, so we\'re still working on details of the marketing strategy," Ward said. "But I believe that it is safe to say that it will receive tremendous exposure across all media."

Lucasfilm and Fox chose the September release date to maximize on holiday gift buying during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. They are hoping to cash in on DVD sales throughout the holidays and up until the theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode III, which is set for release nationwide May 25, 2005.

Each of the three films in the Star Wars Trilogy has been digitally restored and remastered by THX for sound and picture quality. The films will be sold exclusively as a collection and not seperately.

Who cares?  Not me!  I\'m just posting this to create :nerd: pandamonium.

It is not clear if the ones that were cleaned up and released in 97 will be included on this boxset, will be released later, or will ever be released at all.

Does anyone else dislike the SEs as much as I do?  Bleccchhh.  All the extra CG monsters really did :ghey: it up.  Thank god I still have the originals on VHS somewhere....  But the image quality is so poor!  Oh I\'m screwed.

Well, the SE\'s to me were pretty damn good with the exception of one scene involving a rather unfortunate encounter at a bar with the worst photoshop effect ever causing Han to abruptly "teleport" in his seat to dodge the first incoming shot from none other then Greedo.  Restore the original and I\'ll be happy.  :)

yea, but most of the time when they add cgi in the scenes, its done v bad, it would be better if they done it where u can choose, how it was originally or the scenes cut out......

kinda like robocop, when u can have the original one, or choose to play the more gorier version
