Hi All!
I am sorry for the OT post, but I am sure there is a large majority of
Star
Wars fans on this list!
Anyway, the Star Wars trilogy (IV, V, VI) are finally coming to DVD. 4
DVDs, with an extra dvd full of docos and other extras.
Due for release at the end of September in the US.

This is true, however they will be the bastardized abominations that
George calls the "special editions". This is a man who said Casablanca
shouldn't be colorized to protect cinema history, and then proceeded to
rape Ep 4,5 and 6. If he wants my money, he is going to have to release
the ORIGINAL theatrical versions, untouched by CG artists. (Or possibly
the CBS Special Edition where Leia's boob falls out of that metal
bikini in Jedi). But he isn't going to do that, so he isn't going to
get my money.
On a related note, Indiana Jones 4 has been delayed due to script
issues. Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford both love the script. George
Lucas doesn't. Out of those three, I wonder which two would have a
better idea as to what constitutes a good script. (HINT: George didn't
write the script for New Hope or Empire. He did for Jedi though, and he
gave us Ewoks.)
If George Lucas got 10 bucks every time someone wanted to kick his
butt, he would have more money than the earth could hold.
