Heard through the grapevine star wars may get a james bond kind of bonus disc... circuit city gets one best buy another wal mart another and so on...

with best buy getting the 5th indy disc i do see how this could happen...either old Laser disc features and so on

i am hoping for the making of star wars that was out years ago...i think kellogs even gave it away on vhs.

any thoughts, and would this steer you to buy at a specific retailer

It would be great to get some of the old documentaries on disc:

The Making of Star Wars
SPFX: The Empire Strikes Back
Classic Creatures: Return of the Jedi
From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga

Unfortunately, given the pathetic 10-minute Indy featurette, I'm not holding my breath for anything worthwhile.

I have it on good authority that Best Buy will include the Star Wars Christmas Special with commentary from all invoved.

Oh wait, the first was yesterday. Dang.

Is that speculation on your part, based on other past releases, or have you read or heard this from someone at Best Buy, Circuit City, Lucasfilm, etc.?

It would be nice for someone besides Best Buy to offer an extra disc.

The idea of offering a different bonus disc at different stores is nothing more than greed. It means that you would have to buy multiple of the same set if you wanted all of the bonus discs (or pay through the nose on eBay).

If there is that much bonus material available, they should put it all on the 4th disc in the set. They are all ready going to sell millions of copies anyway.

There is TONS of bonus SW material just on the Internet. Lucas could probably fill 10 discs if he wanted to!

Yes, you could send away for that vhs tape (I got one). It's a pretty good promotional piece that they did. I had remembered seeing it on TV back in 1977 or 1978.

I wouldn´t eliminate the thought of some store chains will be offering a 5th bonus disc for the Star Wars Trilogy.

Just take a look at this 3rd disc that Best Buy are trowing in.



The Description reads:

I think if they include a bonus disc at Best Buy or wherever it would be cool to have a making of the dvd, on how they remastered all the stuff and recording of the commentaries and how long the entire process took. Or maybe a bonus disc with footage from Episode 3 and a preview by Mr. Lucas himself.

The original 1977 cut of "Star Wars."

Yeah, and then I heard Circuit City was giving away a 5th disc of the original Empire Strikes Back, while Target was giving away a 5th bonus disc with the orginal Return of the Jedi. :P

Meanwhile back at the (Skywalker) Ranch...
George Lucas: "MWHAHAHAHA!"

Yeah, but a lot of the bonus material that exists is not very good compared to today's films. In fact, a lot of it is boring. Just look at what's on the Definitive Collection LD boxset to see what I mean. Good by 1993 LD standards, but bad compared to 2004 DVD standards.

This can be discussed in the main Star Wars thread. Closing.
