Big news! Arrow has finally announced their edition of RoboCop for Blu-ray (both US and UK) which will include the TV cut! It will be in SD only, but one of the a special features is the seperate scenes in the version(s) restored in HD!

I realize something for a while now; is it possible the DVD versions of the Ewok movies are actually the international theatrical versions (I.E. changes made for that market as opposed to the US television versions)?
Season 1 on DVD August 20th!

I don’t know if this counts, but Olive the Other Reindeer had around 2 additional minutes of footage on VHS that’s not available on DVD.
It counts, but where can that information be verified?

Good to know. Whoever’s in charge of this now, know I have some notes (adding some additional extras/trailers fixing/adding audio).
Let me know if they or anyone here is interested in hearing them. Thanks.
I don’t know if this was brought up, but once Harmy finishes up a V3.0 of ANH, will you too revisit your Blu-ray edition? Like adding or fixing anything because I do have some notes, but I need your permission to proceed or if you want me to PM to you, whatever you want.
Not this year (and apparently not on January 1st). 😉
And tonight, there’s a silver lining to those employees about to unfortunately be laid off:
