More American Graffiti is readily available, I have it. (And it's shown on HDnet too). It looks fantastic with its brand new transfer.

At the convention, Sansweet hinted that the DROIDS episodes previously released commercially on DVD are Lucas's favourite episodes, and that there are no plans to release the entire batch of episodes on dvd..

Booooo!!!!

That sucks hard. You guys should start one of your famous petitions. Do one for the holiday special too.

To be honest, I saw the holiday special once and I don't feel the need to watch it again But I really want the OT deleted scenes, I'm waiting for them since 2001 or when was E1 released on DVD.

As big as a Star Wars nut as I am, even I could hardly stand to watch the entire Holiday Special straight through - it was that bad.

Still better than Episode I, though.

No, what I'm trying to get at is that, for a film that was produced by George Lucas, it's a movie Lucasfilm SHOULD be embarrassed by, because it's laughably bad.

Then again, that's a whole other subject altogether.

And if the Holiday Special actually gets released, that includes couple of OT deleted scenes right there. The Vader/Bast scene and the "Flash Gordon vs. The Stilt Monster" scene in particular, plus some alternate Mos Eisley footage.

Did anyone else hear any news about this at the convention?

This is great news. I know that, along with my complaints about the 2006 OUT release, I asked for a deleted scenes disc to sweeten the deal. Maybe a bunch of other people did, too. That would be awesome.

...all in anamorphic widescreen, of course.

Now *that* would be irony. But since it's all formatted for TV... no go.

So, what are they going to call this release? Deleted Magic? The Lost Scenes? If Lucasfilm doesn't hurry up, all the good names will be used up by unofficial fan projects.

So, from your source, are they deleted scenes only, or alternate takes, too? From Star Wars only, or all three films?
