Its like the Marvel ones which are cool and I collecting them as well, but the Star Wars ones from DeAgostini, and available to subscribe from Deagostini.co.uk. the magazine is like a mini encyclopedia of Star Wars and you get free stuff like posters a t-shirt, binder and figurine stand, plus there is extra stuff to buy like addtional binders etc,

They are smaller than the Marvel ones and maybe not quite as good as the Marvel ones, but it worth checking the site for details....

I just thought of something. What happens to all those terminator robots the trade fed bought from geonosians: the droidekas the grievous magna guards, superbattle droids. Where the muck did they all go when we reach the time of the classic trilogy? Setting aside other things like r2's rockets etc... of course.

Well, maybe the Empire was smart enough to realize that the robots they'd been fighting all this time were complete idiots and were better off using clones...

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

Ooh, you're right. I'd totally forgotten about that. It was one of my favorite parts of the movie when I found out they'd no longer exist. But maybe the reason he did it was...

Yeah in sith the droids (and jedi) are made to look like fumbling fools, but throughout the pt, two droidekas always kicked more jedi ass than any clone ever could. The jedi always know to run from a droideka or they'll get turned into orang3 goop. I think the clones took over because they could easily surprise their jedi commanders; and that's it. "faith in your friends" is a jedi's greatest weakness afterall... I don't think it was because the clones were better than droids. Droids had shields and more hands and were much easier to make. Either palpatine is stupid or that death star that took 20 years to make took priority over the legions of droids he could have conquered the entire galaxy with.

I just bought one of those asian 5 disc star wars trilogies (plus ep 1 and 2) from ebay.
The "idential to retail discs" were only single layer, but to my surprise it also came with an episode 3 disc.
It obivously wasn't a rippoff of the real dvd though because the menus were horrible.

I got the DVD today (from an online retailer pre-ordered ages ago)

The deleted scenes are very good especially the Rebellion scenes and the Shakk Ti , Grevious scene and the aftermath, didnt think the Yoda, Dagobah scenes were all that special

Watched the movie and the rest of the extras including some documentry called "The Chosen One", and may have a listen to the Lucas and team commentary tommorow

That's weird. It's illegal to sell movies before their official street date. Not that people really crack down on that much, but still. Unless they changed the rules since I worked at Circuit City.

the rules have not changed, that does not stop people who work at warehouses where this stuff sits till it's shipped for it's release date to steal a copy and make money by selling it on ebay clearly unscrupulous. Or even worse the review people they send them to early, the magazines, the testers, and reviewers sell there copies or people get one of the review copies burn off more copies and piracy wins.

Yeah I was surprised when it arrived, I ordered it from U.K DVD on-line supplier, i think the DVD was semmingly originally shipped from Canada as it has a French dual language cover.
