SW EP1 DVD NEWS hhhmmmmmmm

[chewies big toe]

IN THE U.K THIS MORNING THE GUY ON THE RADIO SAID THAT INDUSTRY SOURCES HAVE REVEALED THAT THE SW EP1 DVD WILL CONTAIN 20 MINUTES EXTRA UNSEEN FOOTAGE. DONT KNOW IF THIS IS OLD NEWS BUT INTERESTING ANYWAY.

[Boba Fart]

Was there any mention of when they would be out?

[chewies big toe]

i think he said june .

[Darth23]

DOOD!

SHRINK your Personal PIC.


PLEASE!!! (sorry if you already have).

it's like 740k!!!!

[obiwan shinobi]

isn't the North American release coming out in November?

[PropReplicator]

Yeah, it's coming out here in the staes later this Fall. I highly doubt it will be out anywhere else any sooner.

As for the extra footage, I'll wait until I here it from offical channels before I believe it.

[DaBoSsNaStY]

WOW!! I HOPE WE GET TO SEE MORE JAR JAR

[obiwan shinobi]

actually the Digital Bits is now reporting that Episode 1 will be released in October (the 16th, I think) - haven't heard any details on the release but extra footage would be cool - the thing I'm wondering about is whether you'll be able to watch deleted scenes with the movie, a la X-Men or if they will include 2 versions of the movie

[sirdizzy]

i'll give ya more jar jar *stuffs a jar jar action figure up dbn's nose*

[DaBoSsNaStY]

Yeah .. that really suck that they did that with the x-men, I hope they would offer a version one, two, and the I am too cool SW fan that did not like Jar Jar so TPM suked version..

I did not know you cared sooooo much SirDizzy :

[PropReplicator]

Would it fit on one DVD to have two different versions of the film?

[Starquest aka AndyR]

Yes, it would all fit on one DVD. The Stargate special edition has two versions, they just use a different chapter system - which seamlessly inserts extra footage inside the ragular version. Its pretty cool, and on the Stargate DVD that I have, its completely seamless.
Sorry, I dont know what the technology is called though.

[PropReplicator]

Sweet. I wish they'd do the OT in both the original (or maybe THX) and the Special Edition versions.:/

[obiwan shinobi]

yeah, I definitely want both versions of the OT on DVD - because there's a lot of aspects that I love about the "original" movies and not the special editions - like Han blowing away Greedo, and the old Jabba palace dance scene; i even like the old Wampa scene better because it adds some mystery to the creature, instead of just seeing it forthright

[PropReplicator]

Don't forget about that goofy yell that they put in where Luke jumps from the ledge in Cloud City. Blech!

[obiwan shinobi]

or the pathetic gun shots coming out of Leia's blaster in ANH

[Darth McBain]

Well, they have info about it on the official website - so it looks like we can put an end to all the speculation. We're in business for Oct. 16!!! It looks like they've put quite a bit of cool stuff onto the DVD - if they put some neat stuff onto the OT discs (whenever that will be), then I won't mind waiting on them...

[Jedi Master Carr]

Cool, I can hardly wait for it, I especially want to see those deleted scenes.

[Jedieb]

The official release said there was somewhere around 6 hours of EXTRAS! Everything from new scenes with completed effects to all of the one view commercials. Looks like it's time to break down and buy myself a DVD player.

[Darth23]

6 hours of Extras r 6 hours of total content?

:-)

this release date has been rumored from several different places for a while now, so I guess it's not that big a surprised. $29.98 US Suggested Retail price. Not bad. Region 2 will actually be out a day earlier than Region one. Kind of makes you wonder why they're bothering with different regional editions.
