Star Wars DVDs: Some interesting new came from sources over at The Digital Bits today about the original Star Wars trilogy's hopes for finally making it's way to DVD:
They're reporting that Lucasfilm is seriously considering releasing the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD late next year. In fact, our information indicates that some work is already under way toward a 4th Qtr, 2004 release. Word is that Lucasfilm is pleased with the format of The Adventures of Indiana Jones: The Complete DVD Movie Collection they're releasing on 10/21 in conjunction with Paramount - so pleased, in fact, that they're planning to use the same format to release the classic Star Wars films. This would presumably mean a 4-disc set, with a disc for each film and a fourth disc of special edition materials for all three films.
Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Frank Oz, Alec Guinness, Billy Dee Williams, David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, Sebastian Shaw, Ian McDiarmid
