The Classic Trilogy

Author
Time
With the announcement of the STAR WARS TRILOGY coming to DVD on 21 September, many were upset at the exclusion of the theatrical releases of these fantastic films. Currently a project is underway to preserve the original releases of STAR WARS, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and THE RETURN OF THE JEDI. This internet "haven" will eventually be a great resource of information on the classic releases of these films including information about alternative DVD options for fans disappointed that an official releases of these versions will never exist.

While this site is still under development, we would like to extend an invitation to fans to help in this endeavor. Currently we are seeking graphic artists who can aid in the final design of the site and most importantly looking for someone to help us put together a trailer for the project.

We would also like input as to the desired content of the site.

We would be greatful for your assistance in meeting our goals by directing feedback to classicswtrilogy@hotmail.com.

Thank you,
The Classic Star Wars Trilogy

heh heh. Think about the dilemma facing the two Jedi Masters (jedimaster and Jedi Master) who both have the same avatar.

Ah, mind games; the realm of the psychologist.

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

I refuse to buy the Special Edition DVD's of the Trilogy. George Lucas will not original theatrical version on DVD unless people refuse to purchase the Special Edition. I can't believe the number of people who are appalled at the fact that only the Special Edition is being released on DVD, and yet they say "I'll still buy it though." Let's face it. Money talks. Lucas stands by his artistic vision, but if the Special Edition does not sell a satisfactory amount of units, the Classic Trilogy will be released. Look at the New Coke phase of the Eighties. Sales plummetted and the Coca~Cola corporation responded to customer's demand. That's simply how business operates. To summarize: IF YOU PURCHASE THE SPECIAL EDITION DVD, SAY GOODBYE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE RELEASE OF THE THEATRICAL VERSION. The theatrical version is available by bootleggers who are making their own DVD's and selling them on Ebay. I encourage people to go there and browse, as that's the only way I will purchase the original trilogy on DVD.

What you say is true but a boycott is the only way to get the originals and a boycott will never happen.

I encourage EVERYONE who cares about the theatrical version of the Star Wars Original Trilogy to REFUSE TO BUY THE SPECIAL EDITION DVD SERIES! Whining and complaining will do nothing. IT'S YOUR HARD EARNED CASH! Lucas created the Star Wars trilogy, but we are the ones who made it a classic by spending OUR money watching these films! Why spend money on something you don't agree with? BOYCOTT THE SPECIAL EDITION DVD!

Heres how I see the Star Wars consumer population.

50% don't care about which verions
30% Prefer Special Editions
15% Prefer originals but will buy the DVD anyway
5% will participate in the boycott.

5% is still a lot of people but Lucas will earn more then enough from those who do buy.

As I said in the other thread, I want to see the evidence from which you cull these numbers. Otherwise, you're just a little kid pulling made-up numbers out of his ass. Even I, the OV advocate, wouldn't dare to assume a number unless I've taken a pollling of a representative segment of the population (and, no, this and other SW forums don't count because they're not representative of a segment of any population since forum population represents relatively little of those who actually like SW).

Evidence, my boy. Any scientific or numeric claim such as this needs supporting evidence. So either bring it forward or shut up.

Careful, Bossk; remember that even statistics can lie.

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

Like I said that is how I see it. It is my guess. My opinion. If you want to dispute it go ahead.
