They also said that they might just go straight to digital downloads if the format war doesn't get decided soon. With Netflix making that deal with LG to deliver a set top box that'll download HD content to your TV, I can easily see LFL decide to go that route instead. That would save them the costs of distribution and they'd be able to completely control where and when you can watch it. They wouldn't have to worry about people possibly ripping copies of the Blu-ray disc.

Mind you, I don't actually expect something like that to happen, but once again, I can easily see it happening. Putting all those things out on HD (Blu-ray) makes perfect sense, which is why I don't think it'll happen. Lucas hasn't done anything that's made sense in the last few years. Let's not forget that this is the same guy who claims to have 100 episodes done of an animated series, but he can't find anyone to air it. The last high profile DVD release they did was ROTS in 2005. The 2006 set didn't sell so well (gee, I wonder why with everyone already having the 2004 set) and I fully expect that if the animated series has to be released on DVD that it won't sell to well either. I know that no matter how good it looks, I'm not going to spend a dime on it.
