This

“Claim bragging rites to own the highest priced common VHS tape you could find in any thrift store.”

leaves me thinking this stunt is just a rather stupid joke.

I bet they were counting on people looking at it and then clicking their other items and maybe buying something. Any publicity…

That was just the most expensive. They tend to hover around $20k.

In that case, I’ll take five!

A LOOOOOOOOTT more than the BDs in some cases.

…why?

Lovelikewinter was saying how some of the VHS’ and DVD’s of the OUT are going for more than what the BDs cost. My post was showing how some actually go for a LOT more than what the BDs go for. The set in that link is going for $2K.

I think he means why would anyone pay $2000 for VHS.

Or frankly the GOUT for that matter. You can pick those up for $20 a pop at some used stores.

What was George Lucas's worst decision with the Star Wars franchise?
Time

Depheros said:

Besides what has already been said (making the SE and PT), I’d say his worst decision was replacing Gary Kurtz. Return of the Jedi could’ve been a lot better if Lucas didn’t have as much of a say in it.

He supposedly wanted Spielberg, who couldn’t do it and maintain membership in the directors guild because there were no opening credits.

I just someone point out on the Legacy forum that the “Star Wars Show” confirmed that this panel is entirely about A New Hope specifically and that there will be surprises. Here’s the link if you haven’t seen it:

So they italicize A New Hope for “A New Hope turns 40!”, but then they more importantly italicize Star Wars in “Star Wars 40th Anniversary Panel”. I see what they are doing there…me like.

They also italicized SW in “untitled Han Solo Star Wars story”

Despite everything else that has come out on both sides of this, the Landis quote still remains to me the most convincing evidence that it will happen soon. It is incomprehensible why a director of his stature and respectability in the industry would lie about such a thing, and it is equally unbelievable that he would have misheard or misinterpreted any personal communication with George on the matter.
