"Also today... a follow-up on something we've been telling you to expect for
quite while now. 2007, as you may well be aware, is the 30th anniversary of
the original Star Wars' debut in theaters. You'd have to be stupid not to
know that Lucasfilm is going to have big DVD release plans with which to
celebrate the anniversary, and we've been telling you that was the case for
many months now. Indeed, during our last visit to the Ranch for the DVD
release of Episode III, producer Rick McCallum confirmed that a box set of
all six films was going to happen eventually, and animation director Rob
Coleman even let it slip that the puppet Yoda from Episode I had already
been replaced with a new CG Yoda to match Episodes II & III for the "future"
release. T-Bone over at Star Wars Universe recently speculated about this
box set, and we've been quietly checking in with our industry sources on it
as well. Well, we've confirmed it: There IS a big, ultimate, 6-film Star
Wars anniversary DVD box set planned for 2007. There will be more changes to
the films, and there will be LOTS of new, never-before-seen special
features - all the good stuff that was held back by Lucasfilm from the
original Trilogy DVD release a few years ago. Think deleted scenes and more.
We don't know if good, genuinely-REMASTERED versions of the original
theatrical editions of the films will be included or not (though how you
could call the set "ultimate" without them, we don't know). We don't expect
high-definition versions yet, as those formats are just too new. We don't
have ANY other details for you yet, so please don't ask. But as you consider
whether or not to purchase the "limited edition" DVDs due on 9/12... we
thought you should know that more IS absolutely on the way next year. 'Nuff
said for now."
