Episode II: Shroud of the Dark Side
“Back when we made Star Wars, we just couldn’t make Palpatine as evil as we intended. Now, thanks to the miracles of technology, it is finally possible. Finally, I’ve created the movies that I originally imagined.” -George Lucas on the 2007 Extra Extra Special HD-DVD Edition

Uh, isn't that the only reason to release *any* home video? I mean, the filmmaker already created their work and it played in cinemas.

Uh wait a sec, he said that making the SE was a labor of love and was fulfilling and an enjoyment that his dream was to be real.

Actually, I am almost dreading this release. Cuz it's going to be a slipshod job and we're going to be disappointed with it.
I know I'm sounding overtly negative and it seems like I'm whining just to whine, but we've gotten less than steller releases from LucASSfilm that should have gotten royalty treatment (SW DVD release).
Sorry, I know I sound like a whiney fan, but if he's not going to put effort into it, then we're not going to get something that is the best possible release of the films.
Sad, really.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

...as long as it's a fairly decent print in widescreen that hasn't been touched by his special edition-ing hands, I'll be happy enough to quit complaining.

Didn't Walmart back track and say as long as there is demand they'd still sell VHS (I'm thinking cause of some out-rage)? I don't see what the big deal about VHS is though, DVD players can be had for $25 and movies cost $10+ (average being $20). Cost certainly aint an issue and you can get converters to hook up the dvd player if your TV doesn't have the right inputs. But I just say buy a new TV at that point.
Reading the inteview I think it was published the 1st week after the OT DVD was released so it's been a while since it's come out. Nothing really new or ground breaking since then. And he seems to be saying it half assed and I somehow don't believe him. Bring on the X0 set baby! * j/k *
