Another Star Wars Trilogy DVD Set On The Way

In a somewhat inexplicable move, Fox Home Entertainment will release a second version of the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD on December 6th, a little over a month after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is released to DVD. The new Star Wars Trilogy 3-Disc Limited Edition set contains the movies A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It will be somewhat leaner on special features, excluding the 4th disc with the documentary and featurettes, and leaving only the individual audio commentary tracks and a few Easter Eggs as bonus materials. The versions of the movies will be the 1997 Special Edition cuts, although it is not known whether they will also have the same 2004 enhancements that were added for last year’s DVD release. As I see it the only real reason to buy this would be the packaging, which I kind of like because it uses the original 1977 Star Wars artwork where Luke is all buff. But hey, you might as well wait anyways because I’m sure there will be yet another Star Wars box set next year containing all 6 episodes from I to VI. This is getting to be a little ridiculous.

  1. regardless of packaging and a price drop, that bonus disc documentary is too cool to avoid.

  2. That documentary is really well done. Like the making of “Clerks” one.

    The new trend in re releases is the adding of deleted scenes….weak! (unless its a very well liked movie)
