Kleines Update von Davisdvd.com:
Is the original Star Wars trilogy finally coming to DVD? Internet rumoring has been going on about this for the last five years. But with the list of "big" films not on DVD finally dwindling down, it looks like the classic films may finally make it into stores sooner than we all think. A faithful reader of this site has just sent in this latest fuel for the fire:
"It's been reported by Yakface.com and Cinescape that Lucasfilm may be announcing the release of the Star Wars DVDs on November 5th, 2003. Businesses that have worked with Lucasfilm in the past [recently] got a kick-ass invitation with a Vader figure mounted atop a black acrylic block. The invitation reads as follows: "LORD VADER IS PLANNING A MAJOR ASSAULT. HE SUMMONS YOU TO SHARE HIS TOP SECRET BATTLE PLANS. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2003, THE OFFICERS' CLUB, AT THE PRESIDIO, SAN FRANCISCO, CA. LIGHTSABERS AND BLASTERS MUST BE CHECKED AT THE DOOR. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU." Time will tell if this is the real thing, but it is obvious that they are planning on doing a major announcement of some sort."
Is this the invite (click here to see it) to a presentation announcing the classic films for DVD release next year? Will they be released individually, or as a boxed set like Paramount's Indiana Jones Trilogy? Just how much will this Vader invite bring when it eventually hits eBay?? And in case you're wondering why The Presidio, Lucasfilm is building a 23-acre "digital arts center" at the former military base which will be the new home of Industrial Light & Magic, Lucas Arts Entertainment, THX Group, Lucas Online, and the Lucas Educational Foundation. Thanks go out to Earl for the news.
