The above link contains this excerpt, which I haven't seen before in other online reports:

"On Dec. 31, the original movies will be returned to the Lucasfilm Archives."


Is it just me, but why in the world would a company take the effort to mention this, unless their intent was ONLY purely aimed at using scare tactics to persuade people to "buy, buy, buy".

As an employee of a global billion dollar company, I can say I've seen some pretty evil marketting campaigns by Sales staff, but Lucasfilm is taking first prize with this one.

Yeah, its like when Disney says "such and such movie for a limited time--buy it now before it goes back to the Disney vault."

In either case its very easy to obtain a copy regardless of the year--they are re-released every five years or so, and in the last two years between them when copies are scarce in stores you can always get used copies off Ebay and such.
