It's just way too expensive here in Canada. ($8.99 an issue). It was good a few years ago before they changed the format and Wizards of the Coast took over. It has been changed again, so I checked it out. Still don't like it.

What is your overall opinion of the magazine?

So I picked-up the 'new & improved' Star Wars Insider Magazine (still sucks) today, and saw an article about the up coming DVD release. In the same page, 2 colums over, they have an article about the release date of Episode III and at the end they decide to put the release dates of all the other films. Ep. IV - '77, V-'80 etc. OK, so my point is this - I think it's kinda funny that the 'classic trilogy DVD set' is being shown along side of the original release dates. Not to mention everything I have seen about the packaging, posters, etc, all use the original classic artwork. Nothing near the special editions. Some of it is even concept art before the original release! A little psychological marketing tactic here? What do you think. I will upload a picture of the magazine page when I figure out how to.

I think "the rise of the empire" is a great title for the entire prequel trilogy. The rise of the empire trilogy. The original trilogy shoule be called... I can't think of one right now. Any suggestions?

This title was so preditable! I thought of it a long time ago. (it was either that or The Wonder Twins) as did someone else on this message board. (Can't remember who, or when or where) I think it's a good title. Better than the last anyway.

I remember that! That was soooooooo funny! Around the time TPM came out, there was so much hype, that the late night shows had a field day. SNL was another show that did some funny stuff.

The lost cuts were just screeners. For test audiences. This is done all the time. Whenever you see a new movie advertised as a "sneek preview" this is strictly to test it with an audience of the general public. They have several "versions" of the ending, begining, or whatever. After studying how the audience reacts to certain parts, or whatever, the final changes are made and the final print is made and sent out for release. I live in Toronto and this happens all the time here.

I agree with you 100%. I think if George could erase the memories of the 'original versions', he would. He is totally using his power and the marketing machine to somewhat 'persuade' peolple's thinking of what the original trilogy is.

It is being advertised as the 'original' star wars trilogy. The word original is in question and the fact that special edition does not appear, however it does in the credits at the end after its too late!

The thing to do is to try to return it directly to 20th century fox. Or at least do a lot of bitchin' about it. I think the media should get involved. That may stirr things up a bit.

Thats exactly what I'm saying. Is anyone here a lawyer or no one? I am getting real pissed off with Lucasfilm and the whole marketing 'machine' that tries to controle us. Lucas is not God! Why does nobody stand up to him? Everybody is too scared to lose there cushy jobs. Don't the many people working on these 'Lucas projects' release they are bad? Bunch of puppets. Another big problem , I think, is Rick McCallumn (?sp)

When I purchased the 2000 release of the "trilogy", nowhere did it say on ANY packaging that it was the Special Editions. All it said was Star Wars Trilogy. I believe I have been misinformed. I am not allowed to return an opened video cassette. When the DVD's are released in September, will they say anywhere on them Special Edition, or New Versions? I THINK NOT. It is being advertised as 'the original trilogy' which in my opinion is misleading. I think we are being flat out lied to! What's the deal?

I agree. Lucas has said he waited until technology has caught up with his imagination so he could properly tell his stories. What I shame.

There's a rather interesting pqart that puts some extra music from the ESB soundtrack back with their scenes.

I have a bootleg VHS of ESB with all the original music put back in. The quality is excellent. It is the entire movie, not the SE, and if there was music written for a scene, its in there! Even some of the alternate music has been restored. Very cool.

During the battle of yavin in ANH, when 3PO is standing next to Leia, watch the dent in his head. It reverses as does what side he is standing on. This is because of 'mirror'. Somebody but the negative in backwords in that edit.

Hey Bossk, where do you live? Cause most of the large chains here in Toronto carry current as well as older vinyl. I think almost every band still releases vinyl. AC/DC just release most of there albums on 180gram pressing. Very cool! With the right equipment, and a nice diamond tip needle, there is no comparison! Oh ya, and BETA is awsome! My old beta machine croaked a few years ago. I loved it. The best part was NO MACROVISION!

Are you saying CD sounds better than vinyl? Give your head a shake! When it comes to audio, analogue in better - hands down! Also all you guys are totally blowing this way out of proportion. All I said was VHS is not that bad. Of course LD and DVD are better. What is the point of this web site / petition? I am loosing hope fast.
