Star Wars OT DVD's - Confirmed September 2004 Release!!

I know we have a massive thread, but I wanted to post this seperate as it's the first actual real 100% proof that the DVD's are really coming. I was picking up my Alien Quadrilogy today from Media Play. And they had a sign up, and they were actually taking pre-orders for the September release of the DVD set.

I was stunned, and checked Suncoast as well on the way home, they also had it up. So, it looks like all the rumors and hopes have paid off. The Star Wars Trilogy is indeed on the way, September of 2004. Feel free to merge this, but I wanted to announce that we actually have confirmation.

Sorry, don't beat me.

I don't consider an anonymous posting on a fan site by a guy who claims to work for a music retailer to be 100 percent proof of anything, especially considering the release date is on a Thursday, not a Tuesday.

Oh, and there is already a thread about this on the very first page of the forum.

and just because media play has it up for pre-order does not make it official, they will put anything on pre-order to get your $5

It is not unusual for big releases to be released on days other than Tuesday. Spider-Man was released all by itself on a Friday.

You got that right. I went into a Media Play about 2 weeks after T3 came out in theatres and I was asked if I wanted to reserve it on dvd, when it wouldn't even be announced for a couple months afterward.

I'd wait for an official announcement from 20'th Century Fox before everyone gets themselves worked up. It was a very long wait for Indiana Jones, and there had been internet rumors for years. I'll wait for the press release before I get excited.

Kidding? I don't think so . . . my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw a sign-up sheet at Thirty-One Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Why, this is the most exciting news I've heard since Pan Am started a sign-up for the first vacation flights to the moon.

There was a post on usenet that said it was coming in Sept. 2004 too, so it must be true.

It's been a long wait for Star Wars, too. At some point, Lucas is going to relent.

Oh well, figured I'd pass on the news of an actual sheet from the corporate office. With the Fox and Lucasfilm logos on it. But if people wish to just poo-poo and mock the news, feel free. But I've seen the in-store ad w/ concept art with my own two eyes. Take it as you wish.

yeah but it is musicland company, I could print up a flyer that has the fox logo and the lucasfilm logos that says the dvds come out next tuesday, it does not mean it is true,


come to think about it the bootlegs on ebay have the logos on it, so they must be real.


.....off to ebay we go

By OT are you referring to the original versions and not the 'special' editions?

Now that I'd like to see. Not holding my breath though.

Take it as you wish
We are.

Your rumor conflicts with several other rumors already posted on this board.

I know EXACTLY when Star Wars will be out . . . . . . .








The day I have it in my hands at the register and not a moment before.

Well. I must admit that it did keep it fresh in my mind, but no, I did not actually copy it from your sig.
