I tried watching, but for some reason it didn't air on publiv television in my area. Why, I have no idea. I'd be interested in seeing it as well.

Regarding Lucas on Charlie Rose - anyone else catch when Lucas mentioned something about 'directing' ROTJ? Maybe it was a slip on his part, but I thought it was interesting.

Well he pushed around Richard Marquand enough to be the director of ROTJ. Anyway, down in fraggle rock.

According to Kershner, Lucas did direct most of ROTJ, with Kershner's assistant director doing some pickup shots. According to him, the actors did not respond well to Marquand, and he and Lucas ended up not getting along.

What a clown...

""The original 'Star Wars' was only three films, and that was what it was meant to be," Lucas said. "After a lot of pondering and thought, I went back to do the back story, but that pretty much tells the story. Episode six is the end. There isn't any more to it."~~~ Lucas


It was meant for 3???? I also thought it was 6!?!?! He wrote the "back story" before and decented to start from Ep4 because it was more exciting. Wasn't that it? Or has the story changed again?

Terrell is so right here. It is such a stretch to understand about Anakin but easy to accept that Han and the rebels run 100yards and hide behind a log, then there is a cataclysmic explosion of the generator and they didn't get bombarded with debris.

It is called suspension of disbelief.

It was a damn good log.

In the Star Wars story here at DVDTalk that I refer to above, Mark Hamill says he was approached by Lucas in 1976 re: acting in 7-9, which he said he would act in. That was when he and the others thought that 7-9 might be done relatively quickly following the release of ROTJ. Of course, that didn't happen, and now Lucas claims there never was a 7-9. That guy has more stories than Stephen King.

so have we concluded that the outerbox is flimsy? the pics i've seen were R2 and flimsy. Supposedly their boxes are different from R1. Anyone know if the R1's will be sturdy like the Indy set or flimsy like BTTF?

The R1 box is very flimsy.

Everytime Star Wars is in the headlines, Lucas' story about it changes.

Well I just got mine and the outside box is flimsy, and had glue all over it from where they had it stuck together. It came right off though so its no big deal. About to go pop them in and have a good old Star Wars movie night...

Could someone please explain where/how you get your trilogy DVD so early?

Vendors have them already .....also you can find them on Ebay.

You mean the glue that held the tiny informational piece of cardboard? That was possibly the most disgusting looking glue I've ever seen. It was right out of the hair gel from Something About Mary. I tossed it on the keyboard of the guy sitting next to me and he just about had a heart attack.

Yeah exactly..I was about to freak out because it was all over and I didnt think it was going to come off.

Actually, the glue took off part of the box on mine. I couldn't figure out how to open the damn thing when I got it!!

Now exactly, where is this crazy glue?

it's on the top and side of the box. the cardboard "advertisement" is "L" shaped and is glued to the box.

i'm sorry if this has already been asked, but i'm not gonna look through 18 pages to see if it has..

my question is, will the subtitles for the alien dialogue be burnt in, or will they show in a seperate subtitle track (as it should on DVD)..? anyone know? i haven't decided on the local R2 release or the R1, but i'd really hate it if they R1 had burnt-in subtitles, when the R2 most likely won't (since that'd look bizarre with local subtitles on top).

didn't Kill Bill have an automatically loading subtitle track that only translated the foreign dialogue? i'm pretty sure it did.. and i really, really hope Lucasfilms used that here too.. burnt-in subtitles are so not DVD-like.

Hmm. I'd think they'd do the DVD subtitle thing for the OT the same way they did with the PT, which doesn't look like burnt in subtitles.

And I thought the burnt in subtitles in Kill Bill was a tad too small anyway.

Edit: Aw hell, now I'm confused.

i work at blockbuster and we just got the trilogy for rental. Of course i immediately rented them. Watching them in DVD quality has made my life complete(we havent gotten episode 6 in yet DOH!)....1 MAJOR screw up is Boba Fett. instead of having the original voice they replaced it with Temuera Morrison's (jango Fett) voice. I Immediately turned the movie off that instant. I was screaming bloody murder. I sounded like someone getting their body ripped to shreds by a spork. I will of course watch the movie all the way through, after i send a few hundred death threats to george lucas for screwing up an awesome character. First creating Jar Jar, now messing with the baddest bounty hunter ever. other than that 1 mistake (HUGE) the movies are great. Let me know what u guys think.

I think you are a liar. How is it that you got ANH and ESB but not ROTJ when they are not available seperately? Perhaps you DLed the clips, or, like most of the people who whine about the changes and new movies, are just taking the opinion that seems most popular.

This Boba change is not that big a deal. The guy had four or five frickin lines!

Anthony Daniels is complaining about the new movies.. Are you guys going to crap on him too!
