Just did a phone interview with a guy at GQ Magazine regarding the site and the upcoming DVD release. It will appear in the October issue, which should be available toward the end of September. Keep your eyes peeled.

This is good news.. maybe more people will wake up to LucasFilm's marketing ploy and end up demanding an OT release.

This is great! Some national exposure (meaning it will be seen by the general public vs online folks). Maybe we will get the million sigs that people over at the OS seem to think that we need to get GL to notice.

What makes it even cooler is that most magazines come out three weeks before their month of publication. So this will be out about a week or so before the movies are released on DVD. I know Jay says the end of September, but ideally it will be out in time to inform at least some segment of the population and get them to reconsider. Fingers are crossed.

That's great! But since I'll probably not be able to get a copy of that magazine here, when it's released, could you post the interview here, or maybe even create a new page on originaltrilogy showing it?

If it's not on their web site (how cool would that be?), I'll try to get permission to repost the text of it here.

Hey, members are members. Those that want to stay will do so. You gotta admit that most of the annoying ones are only here for a week or two tops and then bail. Small price to pay for greater exposure.

Right on!

The fact is whether you're a fan who likes the changes or not, most people just don't realize that this DVD set isn't the same 'original' trilogy. And if Jay's article can inform people that not only is this not the one they've grown up with, but that Lucas won't even make it available, then eveyone can just make up their own damn mind about how they want to spend their money.

If they don't care, fine. But if they do, great. And if they want to come here and find out more about what's been going on (not everyone who likes Star Wars is a hardcore 'fan' afterall), all the better!

Thanks Jay, keep up the great work!
The original Star Wars trilogy: Our cultural history deserves to be preserved and should be available to the public like all great works of art!

Yeah a bunch of people might join but how many of them will just lurk in the background? I have been a member sense Apr 03 and have only posted like 50 posts. That's nothing considering i've been on this board sense about the start of it. In fact I more than likely never would have posted at all if the Bounty Hunter Han ran into never came into question. I wonder how many other people come here on a daily basis and never post?
