September 21st - A New Hope;)
 

The most requested films for the DVD format will finally become a reality this September as Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox present the eagerly-awaited Star Wars Trilogy for the ultimate home entertainment format. The four-disc collection will be released on September 21 in the U.S. and Canada, with international release dates following closely.

"We know how long fans have waited for this release and how much they have been looking forward to it, so everyone has been working overtime to make sure that the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD is an awesome experience," said Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing and Distribution for Lucasfilm Ltd. and the DVD collection's Executive Producer.

Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi will be available in a four-disc set that includes a bonus disc filled with all-new special features -- including the most comprehensive feature-length documentary ever produced about the Star Wars saga and never-before-seen footage from the making of all three films. Each of the three films in the Star Wars Trilogy has been digitally restored and re-mastered by THX for superior sound and picture quality.

"First and foremost, the DVDs will deliver the very best possible sound and picture and take advantage of everything the medium can offer. On top of that, we are creating added-value material that gets inside the creation of the Star Wars films in a fresh and fun way," Ward said. "We want watching this DVD collection to be as memorable as seeing the movies for the first time."

The films of the Star Wars Trilogy will be available exclusively as a collection and will feature Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX. All three films are closed-captioned and subtitled in English, French and Spanish in the U.S. Internationally, sound and subtitling specifications will vary by territory.

Re: September 21st - A New Hope;)
 

IV,V, and VI are the only ones worth watching.

Re: September 21st - A New Hope;)
 

Someone mentioned this to me at work. He was pissed though because apparently the ones they put on the DVD are going to be the ones they re-did and put in theatres a few years back. Like I know they fixed the landspeeder thing and there was a different ending to Return of the Jedi. Dosent really bother me much though. I'll still get it.

Re: September 21st - A New Hope;)
 

Yeah. The only small downside is that its the re-release '97 star wars. I guess the reason they chose those versions for the dvd is because it was the way George Lucas intended to have the movies look. But I guess the original vhs copies will still be in our collections (if you have it that is:p)

Re: September 21st - A New Hope;)
 

I have the originals and the special editions on VHS (^-^ I hope they release the originals on DVD...

Nothing like the Jabba dance scene person... Or the Ewok celebration...
