Grab the list of links off TDB.com's links page and bring the list over here so we can all determine as a group who we should send e-mails to. Then we can compose a generic letter that can go to all of them. Many of the links are to distribution companies which would do us no good. But there may also be some online sites for people or groups interested in films or preservation or whatnot.

Sorry, Motti. I'm feelin' for ya. I guess I'm just happy that I can watch it whenever I want even if it is a VHS copy. At least it's a relatively newer VHS copy.

Motti, I can't remember if you've answered this before or not... can your VHS player read NTSC tapes?

That definitely is a good point. But I wonder how many stores will buy into the level of merchandising that GL likely wants. Stores like Wal-Mart and Target got so burned by oversaturation on TPM that they severely cut back for AOTC and their SW sections are even smaller than that now. Two rows of pins, tops. If that in some cases. And that's just toys. Most stores probably won't carry all the other merchandise that they once created for SW stuff.

Alrighty then, Billy.

Can I post the video footage on the web? It would get more hits than Lightsaber Kid.

I can give it a shot. Plus they have a page of links that might include some good sites we can also e-mail. Does someone else want to check that out?

Does anyone have a name we can contact directly at SW.com or at TF.N? It would be better than just sending an e-mail to a generic address.

Yes, but that use of Lucas being impressed with the IJ process and then tying that into the SW trilogy release could just be another example of the media's tendency towards "creative editing." For all we know, Lucas could have said that he is very impressed with how everything worked on the IJ trilogy, but there's no way in hell he would ever want to use that process on his precious films. With a simple text edit here and a placement there, voila!, you get "I am impressed with how the IJ trilogy turned out" and now Mr. Lucas is considering releasing the SW on DVD. No sort of falsehood or misrepresentation here because they did keep the effect of the first part of his statement intact, but just cut out where it was going from there. I'm not saying this is how it happened, but anything is possible.

Still, my emphasis is on "cautiously."

It would be nice. Maybe we can start with TDB.com and have them start mentioning us again when they talk about the OT rumors. Think they'd bite?

I think once an official announcement is made about the DVDs, you might see this site drum up a bit more support. Who knows?

That's what happens on the web. One site picks up on a big story and everyone else automatically spreads it without bothering to confirm its validity. Why do you think mass media retractions are so rampant these days? Because nobody checks anymore. We've become accustomed to fast news, not accurate news. And the media plays on that. They give us news just as it breaks. Regardless of truth.
