Hi,

Are any of the Star Wars films out on DVD?

If not, are there any plans to release any of them?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Beale

You have officially entered the longest running debate in the short but sweet history of DVD !

George Lucas just won`t go for it, for some reason only known to him. All Star Wars and Indiana Jones (and we can only anticipate how brilliant they`d sound on DVD) films are on indefinite non-release at present.

It`ll be one of the biggest talking points when the films do make it onto the silver disc.

In the meantime, be very aware of the amount of unscrupulous vendors on auction sites like QXL who are offering `DVDs` of these and other films. They are poor quality transfers, which would make the VCD format seem fantastic.

Nah, it was me definately, why else would I be paying Billy Mitchell £100 to keep quiet? Just don`t tell the old bill!

I`m sorry but the greedy bastard (George Lucas) wants to milk the VHS market for all it`s worth before having it transfered to DVD. It makes sense: Let everyone who likes the film buy it on VHS then, when sales start dropping, release a DVD version. Then, a year or so later, release a "Special Edition" DVD series. Then, about another year later, release an antidiscombobulated, reenhancmentationalisticated, superduperhyperdyperreelinthebigbucks smash hit version. Then another year later.......etc......

Cynical? Maybe. The truth? Probably. Greedy bastard? Definately.
