"Show Us Your DVDs! -- Bantha Tracks wants pictures of your new Star Wars Trilogy DVDs from wherever you are -- the crazier the better! Click here and look for "Fan Submissions" to send photos of you, your friends, and your new DVDs!"

Well, they said, the crazier the better. Think they'd mind if we showed them our DVDs along with our unique cover art? Sadly, it's for their Hyperdrive, "let's only hear from the fans who pay us" system.

LOL. You've just got to love their membership pricing:

USA: $39.95
Canada (they'll pay anything to follow the yanks): $49.95
Anywhere else (no one else is stupid enough to pay that much): $19.95

What we need is a whole reenactment of the Office Space printer smashing scene with some of the DVD sets.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta...

I think someone like Rikter who has an insane collection of Star Wars DVDs should submit a pic of all of his collection... of course with the "official" DVDs in there somewhere

OK, so let's send them pics of us with the bootleg versions, screenshots of bit torrent donwloads, photos of the 1995 VHS edition or the LD ones, photos of us kissing the covers of the Balance of the Force and The Clone Wars editions...

Anybody here have a membership we can use to flood them with our pics of us and our preferred editions?

Or recreate a scene in the cantina where lucas is telling us of changes and then he throws his new boxset at us, we miraculously dodge it and then throw our bootleg boxset with tin back at him killing him...special edition style. Bitter? Yes indeedy.
16 years I wait and this is what I get???

I have a subscription. I'm all for this.

On a side note, I'd just like to point out how much of a fucking pain Hyperspace proved to be. My father, knowing of course that I'm a Star Wars fan, subscribed me to the club out of good faith. Low and behold they send me the very issue of Insider that I used to subscribe. The fuck? He screwed me out of 5 bucks!

haha, NO.

there's really no better way of attracting attention and inviting a lawsuit.

^ Except that even if we show them pics of different cover art, they can't prove that we don't have the 04 DVDs inside. Plus, they can't sue us over destroying DVDs we've purchased anyway.

Alright, I'll try and get a photo of me and a friend hugging our bootlegs (note - for legal purposes the cases will be EMPTY), and you can give them that.

Lucas owns my ass so much. But admittedly, I don't pay for the Hyperspace subscription and I simply couldn't resist the OT DVD...

Heh, I took that mag from Best Buy, they didn't care. Two copies of the SE.......

Well what can I do when Lucas doesn't release the originals on a DVD player compatible format? Those VCDs came from a comics/cd shop. I had no idea what versions they were. What can I say? It's tough to be a Star wars fan these days...

And that magazine from Best Buy is complete fluff. It seems to me that the contents should've been included in the individual DVD cases.

*sigh* I'm also considering buying the dvds, if only as a collectors item. but I musn't... I musn't... even if the picture is amazingly clear and pristene with full dvd resolution, true 5.1 sound, documentaries, and somewhat interesting changes. if only he'd included the original theatrical versions with them... I'd snap 'em up in an instant.

The extras for the most part are dissapointing. Yes the featurettes, documentary and trailers are good...but the rest is all fluff. It just seems a little half-assed, but I guess it'll do til 2007.

Couldn't agree more. Wasn't a subscription only 20 bucks before Hyperspace? I used to have one. Then I stopped recieving issues, so I figured it was up. Then, after like 5 months of nothing, I get three more issues, and no notice to renew. Technically, they owe me some issues, but it might be too late to point it out.
