Not sure who all is aware of this, but all indications point to a Darth Vader lithograph as the free Best Buy exclusive (for Reward Zone members only). No slip box for the prequels cases or anything else.
See here.
Nice piece--might be tempted if I was a member of Reward Zone--but Wal-Mart still seems to have the best deal around. With nearly 60 minutes of content, I can't believe The Story of Star Wars will be some indulgence in mediocrity. Perhaps some will get early copies and offer reviews before release day. If the consensus of opinion is that it's crap, I may then skip it.
--THX

Is the Wal-Mart exclusive considered canon? If so, then I guess Threepio may not have gotten the memory wipe afterall, since he is telling the story of both Anakin and Luke.
I wish someone would post a review of the extra Wal-Mart disc, as I will be having a horror film festival that night and don't see how interrupting it to get Star Wars would make sense. If the DVD turns out to be crap, then I could just wait until Best Buy and get the lith instead.

It's PAL.
Not to mention the fact that I'm already starting to not buy other regions whenever possible. They're a bitch to sell after the fact and I'm already preparing for Blu-ray the same way I did with DVD.
Eventually, all of these DVD's will be sold.

Can't remember excatly who but I'm pretty sure one of them was Sir Alec's Obi Wan. It'll be on the front cover of the ad due out on Sunday.

A little late but:
The Apprentice
Thursday November 10th

The task: promote the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith and a Star Wars videogame.
************
From what I've seen, there's NOTHING special about this campaign.

You see, this now messes up how the discs look on my shelf side by side.

In defence of the apprentice thing, they are probably doing this event during the release week, and then it will air the following week. It makes sense. Honestly, does Star wars need more promotion?
Anyways, my store got our shipment in today and i brought this home. So if anyone has a question about anything let me know. I'm planning on checking out the deleted scenes first.
