Latest Star Wars Saga DVDs Recalled? No Longer An Opportunity To Buy?
We have learned of a rumor. Please take this with a grain of salt until more in confirmed, but one of our readers has attempted to purchase some of the currently available Star Wars films on DVD. He was informed by a Walmart employee that all have been recalled. I have also not been able to find any in stock at the moment. Have we all missed the boat trying to grab the current versions? Does this mean that forever our beloved films will have Ewoks blinking? Could Lucasfilm, Ltd. be futilely trying to get rid of remaining existing versions of the Star Wars saga? More on this later as the story develops. But let us know if your experiences are different.

The Fry's stores in my area usually are pretty good with keeping old stock on the shelves until it finally moves. (They had tons of the original two episode Star Trek discs a few years ago.) I saw the most recent trilogy sets there sometime back. Will try to check them out this week.
I have wondered if Lucasfilm tries to keep their products from ending up in the cut out bin at discount stores. Although THX-1138 didn't escape that fate. ;)
