THE DVD WILL BE RELEASED IN NOVERMBER, 2005 JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY BUYING SEASON. THE OFFICIAL WORD SO FAR THAT I'VE RECIEVED STATES THAT THERE WILL BE FIVE DELETED SCENES. NOW, THIS COULD CHANGE AS SOME EXTENDED SCENES COULD BE REINCORPORATED BACK INTO THE MOVIE ALA TPM. I'LL HAVE MORE UPDATES ON THE DVD RELEASE AS I GET THEM.

Ya know, this is nothing new. Gone with the Wind, 70 years ago, had at least two versions (long vs. short). So did many other long movies that were eventually shortened. And of course, books have multiple versions as well, because authors frequently make changes during second & third printings. There's no such thing as a "one perfect version" in either the print or visual world, and never has been.

For Episode 1, supposedly there were a total of 5 different versions, counting the preview cut.

I found this little tidbit today whilst surfing the net:

Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Reports are now coming in from digital screenings of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith that, in fact, the film is not extended in those prints. So what does this mean to you? Most likely that the film won't change significantly for the DVD release later this year. Then again, both I & II were extended slightly when they came home so who knows. As for the "Sith" DVD, George Lucas and producer Rick McCallum have confirmed that it will feature five to six deleted scenes, for which ILM is currently finishing effects work. Likely candidates for the scenes include lengthier scenes from the battle on Kashyyyk (including a "crazy" mud-covered Yoda), Padme's role in the beginnings of the Rebellion, talkative Senate scenes (featuring a young Mon Mothma) and Qui-Gon Jinn's cameo. Current rumors point tentatively to a November 8th release. At the very least expect the DVD before Christmas.

OK so plenty of material to use in the MagnoliaFan edition
Specially the Qui-Gon scene, which SHOULD HAVE BEEN in the film.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering
