Only if Jennifer Garner isn't signed to appear. Did you know that DWMK was actually based on Homer's Odyssey?

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

errrr... if we go on that tangent, then pretty much any film can be based on Homer's Odyssey.

I still don't remember that line although I do know that I've seen that stand up routine. Just been years, though.

What's that from again? And worst case scenario: DWMK2 could be based on The Iliad.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Yes, Paramount should hurry up and release that one on DVD. I remember the accompanying comedy album well.

If any one has gotten the new "Lion King Special Edition" it has both the special edition and the original theatrical release ON THE SAME DISC!!!! Why cant GL do the same for for the original trilogy. When I fell in love with Star Wars, i fell in love with the 1977 version not the 1997 version. However, I will not discount the Special Edition, I love everything Star Wars even the Droids and Ewoks cartoons.

You are certainly a brave person to admit you like Ewoks and Droids. My hat's off to you.

Welcome aboard.

If putting both movies on the same disc will reduce the quality then put the SE on one disc and the OT and features on the other. One of the things i like about the OT is the poor quality. It gives it a sense of familiarity. I beleive we all saw SW in the theaters back in the 70's and early 80's and we all remember that the film quality was not all that great. (Just me, I'm a nostalgic.) Still, they should sell them together and take it easy on our wallets. And yes, Ewoks and Droids rock! They should release those on DVD or revive the series or something.

I would like to see GL pay homage to Kevin Smith in Episode 3. Kevin pretty much kept Star Wars on life support pretty much through the nineties with all his obscure SW references in ALL of his films (Clerks is still my favorite.) Maybe George should throw in a Jay and Silent Bob set of droids...oh wait he already did with Threepeo and Artoo!! (Just Kiddin')

I think I would skip the KS homage. Wouldn't work too well IMHO.

Besides, I don't think Kevin is expecting any kind of homage for his homage. That sort of thing just gets messy.

Eventually, we turn out a movie of nothing but homages. Oh wait, that was done in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Notice the "Just Kiding" at the end of my post. I was drawing up a similarity in the relationships of Jay and Silent Bob, and C3PO and R2D2. Jay and C3P0 have similar personalities and Silent Bob and R2D2 are both short, fat and even though they do not speak, we still know thier intentions by thier actions.

We know you were just kidding. I was just making a point about how J&SBSB was nothing but homages and many of them were to his own movies.

Of course we knew you were kidding. That's why we were all kidding around as well.
