George Lucas: "We have been kind of waiting on the DVD because I have been trying to make sure that the DVD is the ultimate repository of the Star Wars saga. And primarily what we are trying to do is wait until I have all six of them before we release them on DVD."

This was copied from DVDresource.com. I'm sure that if you made it to the asylum, you've been to DVDresource.

Ultimate repository? That's good.
All six done before release? Considering that George takes his time making movies, the DVD players we have now will be the Great Grandparents of the type of DVD players that will be out when he finishes Episode 3.

If George wants to make money, he ought to release the original trilogy now (not in a year+Â½) and then rerelease it when he finishes Episode 3. He gets a fortune and we get to have Star Wars on DVD now. A win-win situation if you ask me.

The Special Edition was digitally remastered, correct? Can they not do a digital direct transfer to DVD as they did Antz (or was it Bug's Life?)?
Please do not say "He's waiting for a better quality medium" because it is out on VHS and laserdisc. Why not standard 5.1 DD DVD?

My ~~bitching~~ for the day,
