OT - Original Star Wars trilogy out THIS YEAR!!!
 
I've now heard from two sources that Lucas is going to release the original Star Wars trilogy in September. Hot diggity damn!! One source is the manager of the Suncoast Motion Picture. NOw, I know some of you didn't think too much of him on his views of the Battlestar Galactic mini-series, but I find him a good source for info on movies. Also, I have a friend who works at Blockbuster Video, and he just sent me an e-mail with the same info. So, without surfing the net to confirm this, I'm taking their words that we'll be watching Star Wars 4, 5, & 6 before Hallowen. I can't wait.

Narf: Nope. Just buy a TV and DVD player. COmputers are made to play games on. Like SE IV and UT 2k4. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Sounds like you just need to fiddle with the DVD and/or TV settings, Narf, or if that fairls, to get another DVD player.

My gripes with DVD are that many players fail to have useful slo-mo or scan modes, and that digital TV images tend to have visible pixelation and jaggy effects which analog tapes or films don't have, which messes up some scenes.

Of course it's been out on VHS multiple times before.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Star Wars Trilogy," one of the most-requested DVD episodic film franchises, is expected to be released as a four-disc DVD box set Sept. 21, with a global rollout on DVD expected within days of the domestic release, according to Lucasfilm Ltd. and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

The trilogy featuring the classic franchise films Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi will be released on three DVD discs, with a fourth disc likely to hold a newly made documentary about the "Star Wars" franchise and never-before-seen footage, among several other bonus materials, said Jim Ward, Lucasfilm's vp marketing and distribution and the DVD trilogy's executive producer.

Am I missing something or has not the StarWars been out for many years on VHS? Or are you brainwashed suckers now getting excited about the privilage of paying to 'upgrade' to DVD?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
