Did you guys catch the announcement Lucas made about the Blu-Ray release of Star Wars when he was at the big Star Wars convention in August? It was pretty much everything you guys discussed here but unbelievably it looks like there really will be extras from the original trilogy. There was even a clip floating around of a deleted scene from Return of the Jedi. The Blu-ray versions just might be worth getting. I still don’t think it’s going to be the original versions of the first trilogy but to have deleted scenes pop up now is pretty unbelievable.
I never thought we’d get anything like this. Didn’t Lucasfilm say the DVDs of the original trilogy released a couple years back would be the only time they’d release those? Of course it all makes sense now in light of the announcement they’re planning to do theatrical re-releases of all the movies in 3D starting with the Phantom Menace. I’m sure those will be released on Blu-Ray eventually after everyone has 3D televisions.
dear me. that ‘kars 4 kids’ tune is stuck in my head. yet i think it can be made even more annoying if it was written ‘karz 4 kidz’. one minute it’s being reported nicolas cage is bankrupt; then he’s building illuminati-esque mausoleums? he‘s losing his mind…
