I am just guessing here because I am too lazy too look it up, and I know very little about HD TVs since I have not so much as even considered buying one, but I would assume since anamorphic was made so that DVDs could double for 4:3 or widescreen TVs, that there would not have to be anamorphic HD DVDs since HD TVs don't come in 4:3. Rather, I would assume they would just make them the proper size instead of making them anamorphic. Whew, imagine seeing the GOUT as a special feature on a HD DVD in the piss poor quality it is now, I shudder to think!

Gee, I'm sorry, I thought I was being nice and trying to explain something to you but instead it turns out you're a jerk!

You may think you know more than me, but evidently you still haven't managed to grasp the very difficult concept that sarcasm doesn't translate well into text.....

If a widescreen DVD or HD-dvd or blu-ray disc fills your widescreen TV correctly.......then it's anamorphic.

Non-anamorphic widescreen is a 4:3 (square-ish) letterboxed image designed to be shown on a square-ish 4:3 TV.

HD widescreen images aren't designed for old square TVs- they're designed for newer widescreen TVs, so they're anamorphic.


Yes, but don't forget that anamorphic DVD's will also play correctly on old 4:3 square TV's.

What? You guys aren't breathless over the new bold, dramatic look? Personally, it knocks my socks off and and can't wait to buy multiple copies.

It sound like a hoax to me. I've heard nothing from the digital bits about this. There will never be a 30th anniversary boxset.

We've got it. You don't think that George will release the OOT again. We understand. You don't have to drive it into the ground.

it IS a hoax... sorry, guys...

I just thought it would be fun to design covers that Lucasfilm WOULD design... (i.e. really modern and in-your-face kind of look + completely lazy)...

...to see what would happen. Fortunately I'm a guy who can't keep silent for a long time about self-made forgeries, so I admit it! I made them!

so basically the uk finally gets the limited edition steelcase release that germany got in 2004 and the united states never got, LOL.

same as the cardboard released here in the states except more sturdy metal tin.

The US got the Best Buy exclusive tin, though.

In a catalouge today for an Australian retailer I saw this in an advertisement for the Star Wars trilogy on dvd.

We didn't get this (best buy?) tin last year. Notice the 30th Anniversary written at the top of the tin

The above link mentions 4 discs but the catalogue mentions 6 discs. Personally I think it's the SE's and the GOUT.

Not really news worthy but I thought'd I'd at least mention it. Another Holiday re-package.

I still can't believe Lucasfilm let the 30th anniversay go without a new/different release. Its not disappointed I'm expressing, more wonderment.

Well, it's their own goddamn fault for blowing their wad with the release with the unaltered trilogy. I don't know about you folks, but I would have gladly waited a year if it meant (although, it would be a serious pipe dream) that they could have released the films in proper anamorphic quality. As it is, I'm content to wait it out until the next release.

I honestly think that all of us will have to wait for atleast 2009 for anything SW related on DVD/BluRay/HD-DVD, cause I believe next year will be dedicated to Indiana Jones, with the movie in the summer, the DVD release next fall along with a new boxset.

Hopefully BluRay/HD-DVD format war will be over by next Christmas so maybe in 2009 the 'A' titles like SW and LOTR can start coming out and that is our best chance of the OOT in the right quality. Think of it this way guys, the OT didn't come out on DVD on the 25th Anniversary in 2002, why do you guys think they would take advantage of the 30th? Lets all put aside logic when it comes to Lucasfilm anymore.

Don't forget that it isn't about the films or fans any more, it's all about the money.

With a seventh Dolby re-mix no doubt! I want the original Star Wars with "baby boom" track and monaural surround yes the version that was realised in the cinemas the (70mm road show) print. Not some cheap money scam to fool the Star Wars consumers, I’m feed up with being milked!

Buy Bluray with (extreme caution) if it’s the same Dolby film mix as found on the 2004 DVD editions, I would take it back and get your money back and lets see if that pisses Lucas off, if millions of copies where returned!

Perfect format my foot! If Lucas can prove to us and realise the original and original means original, I guess original doesn’t exist in Lucas (vocabulary) because he can’t even spell the word "original" with those crap Star Wars 2006 editions, the tight git.

Taking the same versions that where used for the THX CAV laserdiscs who, does he think he’s kidding.

Only the originals from the 70mm six-track Dolby stereo Dolby format 42 will sound better on DVD.
