New DVDs NOT 16x9
Time
How would you feel if the director for Gone With the Wind went back and altered the movie and gave Atlanta a much bigger burning scene, filled with huge explosions and balls of flame because the movie was only a 67 year old draft and the "technology" didn't exisist back then to make bigger burning scenes.


He would probably love it.

First Look: Original Trilogy DVDs
May 16, 2006

The Star Wars trilogy comes out for a limited time as individual movie DVDs on September 12th -- complete with the unaltered original films as bonus material -- and will be available for pre-order starting this week. This is a chance for longtime fans to re-experience the movies as they originally played during their first theatrical releases, and an opportunity for new fans to see a bit of movie history.
Each movie comes as a two-disc set -- one disc is the 2004 remastered version of the film, while the second disc is a version that captures its original theatrical presentation. For more information about this release, see the original announcement story here. StarWarsShop.com will be making Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi available for pre-order on Friday, May 12.

Here's a look at the cover art for this release. Done in the photo-montage style of previous DVD release, each movie mimics a poster design from the original theatrical campaign.


Here is what scares me...

while the second disc is a version that captures its original theatrical presentation.

What the hell does that mean? Captures?

What are you going to do with your SE discs?

To the troll, JediRandy...

why don't you go tell George to send free DVD's to all the charities? He has all the money and all the extra '04 DVD's to give away, so go bother him. And maybe you should find out what the real meaning of "fanboy" is before you start talking out of your ass. (too late)

To everyone else...

The best way to do this is to do a mass mailing. One big box full of DVD's. No letter. That is straight and to the point. If there is to be a letter, the only thing it should contain is the quote from Lucas saying, "this is not to appease the fans, and this will proove what version they want," or whatever it said.

We should start a collection. Then send them FedEx priorty.
