Most intriguing quotes from Lucas - I hope he decides to release them soon - though I imagine he has SW releases planned for some time to come, along with the new 3-D versions he was talking about not long ago.

Even if he does do a botched job of releasing the OOT on dvd - there are enough talented and determined people on this board to enhance them to what we all know, love and want.

If we're talking about the dvdr sets that are/will be available in the OT Preservation & Fan Edits forum then the X0 Project may have enough differing versions to satisfy everyone.

"Beam me up, Scotty"

or something by R2D2 - you really cannot fault his acting or delivery, and he had no knowledge that he was going to be CGI'd with rocket boosters during the PT. Very underrated...

I'd have to go for 'I AM a Jedi, like my father before me'

30minutes a session, twice a week at the local community centre. 20% discount for students and OAPs

I imagine the EU addresses this when it comes to Luke training others to become Jedi, though I would not thought the training would be as long as it was for Jedi in the Prequel Trilogy.

From digital bits website:-

"We've just heard from our sources that Universal is going to be announcing the release of Battlestar Galactica: The Complete First Season very soon. This is Ron Moore's new SciFi Channel version, FYI, which is already available on DVD in the U.K. (the series' second season debuts here in the States on The SciFi Channel on 7/15, followed by the U.K. debut in October on Sky One). We'll post all the official details as soon as they're available. Rest assured you won't have long to wait."

Some Trek USA dvd release info (from the DigitalBits website):-

"And for you Star Trek fans, look for the 2-disc Star Trek: Nemesis - Special Collector's Edition on 10/4. As many of you know, Star Trek: Enterprise - The Complete Second Season is currently due on 7/26. Star Trek: Enterprise - The Complete Third Season is officially slated for 9/20 (that's confirmed). Rounding out the series' release, Star Trek: Enterprise - The Complete Fourth Season should arrive on 11/1. Also... and this is something of a surprise... our sources are currently telling us that Star Trek: The Complete Animated Series is tentatively planned for DVD release in September (on 9/6). There will also be a new Star Trek: The Motion Pictures DVD Collection box set on 10/4, along with a 4-season Star Trek: Enterprise - The Complete Series set on 11/1."

The most enjoyable film I've seen for a long time - easily the best Batman film so far - the acting, story, dialogue, direction, pace and feel were all superb - and I hope they do a sequel up to the standard of this one.

Was surprisd by how many famous faces they got for this, and well they ALL did. Will be eagerly awaiting this for dvd.

^ LMFAO

Now that the Star Wars Sextette (or Sextet or Sextolet) is complete, I wonder if there'll ever be dvd covers for a 6-disc boxset? and if so what, or who, would feature on the covers?

ObiWan, Yoda, Anakin/Vader, The Emperor, C3PO and R2D2 are the only characters I can think of right now that span the 6 films - but Luke, Han, Leia and QuiGonn and perhaps Mace would surely be worthy of inclusion too...

Hi & Welcome

Um... I think we're all Star Wars fans here, Tony.

Some people on here may have a preference for watching Episodes 4, 5 & 6 over 1, 2 & 3 - or a mixture of sorts of the 6 films. The terms PT & OT are just used for easier reference.

In case you havn't noticed, the name of this site is originaltrilogy.com - by definition this site has more topics on the OT than the PT, though there are many differing discussions on the Prequel Trilogy too - and many do not consist of your 'PT suck 'cos of CGI' statement...

I checked into a hotel on a business trip and was a bit lonely so I thought I'd get me one of those girls you see advertised in phone booths when your calling for a cab.

I grabbed a card on my way in. It was an ad for a girl calling herself Erogonique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, long graceful legs all the way up to her ass. You know the kind. So I'm in my room and figure, what the hell, I'll give her a call.

"Hello?" the woman says. God, she sounded sexy.

"Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now. I'm talking kinky the whole night long. You name it, we'll do it. Bring implements, toys, everything you've got in your bag of tricks. We'll go hot and heavy all night; Tie me up, wear a strap on, cover me in chocolate syrup and whip cream, anything you want baby. Now, how does that sound?"

She says,

"That sounds fantastic, but for an outside line you need to press 9."

The Bloke's Prayer:-

Our beer...
Which art in bottles
Hallowed be thy sport
Thy will be drunk
I will be drunk
At home as I am in the pub
Give us each day our daily schooners
And forgive us our spillage
As we forgive those who spillest against us
And lead us not into the practice of poofy wine tasting
And deliver us from Tequila
For mine is the bitter
The chicks and the footy
Forever and ever
Barmen

A husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes. When the bus arrives they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit onto the bus.

So the husband and the blind man decide to walk. After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him, "Why don't you put a piece of rubber at the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy".

"The blind man replies, "If you would've put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we'd be riding the bus, so shut the hell up. "

ebay.co.uk was the saviour for me regarding dvd cases...

2 6-disc cases £4 delivered - now the the SW 'Sixology' is complete I may as well have a version of all 6 films in one case

5 single disc cases £3 delivered - for the one-off rareities such as Deleted Magic and some of the 2004deSE Edits

4 3-disc cases £4 delivered - always need cases for the differing LD to dvd sets and their differing versions

all decent quality cases

September 6th, though Paramount themsleves have not announced a date yet.

ebay.co.uk have a 'Region 2' dvdr set for £17delivered:-

I loved DS9 and thought the series got stronger (season 6 being my personal fave) as it progressed - it's tributes to TOS are many and very well done.

Trek lost out when TIIC stayed with Berman and discounted the qualities of Moore and the other DS9 execs - seemingly more so now that Morre's done such a promising start on the new Galactica series, and Trek had now gone into a much needed hibernation. Recycled stories and direction that havn't differed from the days of the TNG crew has not paid off during VOY and ENT, and it will not in the future, massive changes are needed for quality Trek for the future...

I saw Batman Begins today - was really, really impressed, a thoroughly enjoyable film - seemed that Liam Neeson had some great dialogue early on - very much in a Jedi stylee - that would have been more than worthy for Episode 1, or for inclusion in other SW films...
