Great work on reviving this project and great work on reconstructing the trailer!

Who will ask the questions to Lucas:

"Will the original theatrical versions of the saga be included on the Blu-Ray releases and will they be remastered in HD?"

"Will the SE of the saga be new or the DVD versions?"

Also try to consider reconstrcuting extras using best video sources.

Someone do this, please! Also, add the TV Spot for Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown as a special feature for the film.

Don't you mean traitor?

The 2004 version was to re-establish continuity with prequels. But my theory is, Vader knew about his son since ANH and probably didn't want the Emperor to know. Why? Well, like Luke said "I know there's good in you. The Emperor hasn't driven it from you fully. That was why you couldn't defeat me, that's why you won't take me to your master now." The good of Vader/Anakin didn't want his son to turn to the Dark Side or else Luke would become the very thing he was trying to stop. Simple is that.

Sometimes when it comes the SE, I can be veeeery protective. ;)

And cap I like your Emperor calls Vader in the first post. It could make a good Robot Chicken sketch and yes, I do get the Poker joke.

Thanks for this Doubleofive. :)

We have a review for the new Warner Archive Collection disc.:

Happy belated birthday, Ady! :)

Not that I'm aware of. I say go for it.

It's coming to DVD via the Warner Archive Collection!:

Another preservation we can put to bed.

The images look very crisp! I think it's a few steps foward than the 2006 DVDs. I would love to get a copy!

That was well done and cute. ^_^

Another update! Will the news series take place after ROTJ?:

"Finally, the more dimish inmates of the South Naboo Penitentiary can discover what lay ahead for Luke, Leia, Han and pudgy Wicket after the events of "Return of the Jedi". The rest of us, being able to read and all, have known for years what happened to the Skywalker siblings and the rascally smuggler - Han and Leia, of course, produced twins (later Jedi's themselves), the rebels faced a further battle with the Empire - trying to save the planet Coruscant (the character of 'Wedge' plays a big part in this arc of the story), and Grand Admiral Thrawn replaces the recently-departed Darth Vader as the galaxy's big bad.

Despite his determination to exploit the "Star Wars" in any other which way, writer/director/producer George Lucas has sworn black-and-blue that he'll never put Episodes 7, 8 and 9 to film - no way, no how. Frankly, I'd say it's got more to do with Lucas's fear of asking Harrison Ford to wear Han Solo's vest again, not to mention the nightmare of seeing Carrie Fisher in Slave-Leia bikini again, than the man wanting to maintain the purity and avoid blundering the the saga. Trust me, if it could be done (i.e if Ford would play Solo again), Lucas would likely do it - actually, he definitely would. Imagine how many 'Old Solo' action-figures would be sold!? And consider the greenbacks that would slide into the Lucasfilm cash-register after the 'twins' lunchboxes hit K-Mart!?

Whatever the case, it ain't happening.....

...... at least not in 'live-action' form.

Over the weekend, at Chicago's C2E2 Convention, Lucasfilm's Director of Fan Relations Steve Sanweet dropped a bit of a bombshell (according to BestOf LuckProductions.com) : The upcoming animated "Star Wars" series (assumingly the one that "Robot Chicken" creators Seth Green and Matthew Seinreich are working on) will be set after the events of 1983's "Return of the Jedi" - and yes, it'll feature all of the core characters. Sansweet even hinted at a few dead 'Sith's' returning from the grave!

Remains to be seen who, if any, from the original trilogy will have some kind of participation in the new animated series but if I was a betting man I'd say lay your chips down on Mark Hamill putting his hand up to voice Skywalker and Anthony Daniels needs to eat, so he'll be chomping at the bit to do 'C3P0' again.

A final nugget from Sansweet : The first six "Star Wars" films are headed for Blu-Ray in the near future and they'll encompass a Falcon's worth of extras and some other "treasures"."

Now wheather this is the plot for the new series Seth and Matthew are working on or yet a 3rd animated series, count me in, as long as it stays true to the saga.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but thie problem must be fixed: Have Vader defuse his lightsaber (with sound effect) the first or second second after he says "Don't make me destory you.".

You know, this just gave me a good idea; Make an edit of one of the films of the OT and add all the parodies of scenes from TV and the Internet in it's place! How about it, Lord__Vader? That could work! :)

Here's more on what you can expect from the new series!:

I like it! :)

I found something interesting in two articles of this news on the web that could give us more of an idea of what the series is about:

http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reuters.com/ridley-scotts-robin-hood-open-cannes-fest-reuters

""The 'Star Wars' universe is so dense and rich; it's crazy to think that there aren't normal, mundane everyday problems in a world so well-defined," Green said. "What do these characters do when they're not overthrowing empires?"

http://www.moviehole.net/201024321-a-star-wars-sitcom

"Creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich want to explore the after-hours activities of characters such as Darth Vader, Bobba Fett and the pig-looking-dudes who guard Jabba's palace."

Now it makes sense to me of what the new series will focus on. Kinda sounds a little interesting.

This is no April Fools joke, another Star Wars animated series is in the works.:

http://www.starwars.com/fans/media/newseries_announcement/index.html

"Lucasfilm Animation is currently developing an all-new animated Star Wars series, focusing its efforts on the comedic aspects of the "galaxy far, far away." Featuring creative involvement from Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, creators and executive producers of the Emmy and Annie Award-winning Robot Chicken, as well as writing from The Daily Show's Brendan Hay, the series will look at the Saga's characters with a playful and irreverent tone. The series will be produced by Daytime Emmy and Gemini Award-winner Jennifer Hill (The Backyardigans), and directed by Emmy-nominated Todd Grimes (Back at the Barnyard).

"There are so many stories taking place in the Star Wars universe, and they don't all have to focus on the fate of the galaxy," said Grimes. "We're looking at Star Wars from a new perspective; this will be a glimpse at how the rest of the galaxy is affected by the events of the Saga. There's a lot of humor to be mined from that."

"The Star Wars universe is so dense and rich; it's crazy to think that there aren't normal, mundane everyday problems in a world so well-defined," said Green. "And it's even crazier to think of what those problems might be, since it's all set in a galaxy far, far away. What do these characters do when they're not overthrowing Empires?"

Said Senreich, "We're going to pull back the curtain of some of those behind-the-scenes shenanigans. It's going to appeal to all ages, the way Star Wars should -- but there'll be plenty buried under the surface, as well. As Obi-Wan might say, 'it all depends on your point of view'.""

My thoughts, mixed. But a show like this, if it takes place within the canon, could appeal to the younger audience (and with Seth Green and Matther Senreich on board how could it go wrong?). All I can say, I hope this is better than Squishes (which I hope that said show will never be made.). 

I wasn't mocking you Xhonzi, I was just implying what makes the best Star Wars fan (and my post was kinda refering to me.) I mean no disrespect to anyone.

You know everything on Star Wars, like all movies and shows despite what others say (except Squishies, if it happens), collect anything Star Wars to your liking, owning all Star Wars DVDs and toys, and challenging your friends to Star Wars trivia.

I hope Squishees is just a rumour. If George Lucas wants to appeal Star Wars to a younger age, he should revive the Ewoks cartoon series. That would be a good idea, taking place in the Star Wars canon, and I would watch it. Anyone else agree?

I don't hate George Lucas, I like what's become of the Star Wars franchise, but this, Squishies? That's just selling out. Doubleoffive, I think your idea of Squishies being the fake title may have given me an idea; what if this is just is all a set-up into beginning the hype of the live-action series?

Now THIS is something I don't like!:

http://iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8755:iesb-exclusive-new-star-wars-animated-series-on-its-way&catid=43:exclusive-features&Itemid=73

"Yes, you are hearing right. IESB has exclusively learned that George Lucas is currently in pre-production on yet another Star Wars animated series. The key demographic? Pre-School to Kindergarten aged children, yes, the Star Wars: Galactic Heroes will be gracing televisions very soon.

The latest from Lucasland a.k.a. Skywalker Ranch is that a director has been brought on board to direct the new series based on the popular line of toys.

The working title for the TV series is believed to be "Squishies."

Uncle George has always had a soft spot for making more money, hmm, I mean children. No word yet if Cartoon Network or its WB sister companies will be airing the series.

A few years ago, when IESB broke the news that both a live action and an animated TV show were in development, we were quite excited about the possibilities, this one on the other hand, just seems like another way for the Lucas Empire to fill up their piggy banks."

You guys are always talking about Lucas milking the cash cow too much, well this is something when he's really milking the cash cow too much (to me). This is something we don't need and it screams "sell out".
