At last, cinephiles will cry: Star Wars trilogy coming to DVD in September
TORONTO (CP) — It is undoubtedly the most anticipated and overdue DVD release in the relatively short lifespan of DVDs.
Lucasfilm confirmed Tuesday that Star Wars will be coming to DVD on Sept. 21 in a four-disc collectible set.
“We know how long fans have waited for this release and how much they have been looking forward to it,” says Jim Ward, vice-president of marketing and distribution for Lucasfilm, Ltd. “So everyone has been working overtime to make sure that the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD is an awesome experience.”
The set will include what are now accepted as Episodes 4, 5 and 6 in the space-fantasy series, Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
Each film has been digitally remastered for optimum picture and sound — including Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround — says Ward, and will be accompanied by plenty of never-before-seen extras. The fourth disc promises a comprehensive feature-length documentary.
Two possible sour notes for fans, though. The three films will be available only as a collection and will be the special editions only — the versions that were digitally spruced up a few years ago — and not the originals.
Creator George Lucas has long maintained that the DVD delay for his films, which were made in 1977, 1980 and 1983 respectively, was due to the fact he was too busy making the prequel trilogy.

people who prefer the originals probably prefer to watch the films on video anyway. i will doubtless be buying this anyway - a bonus disc of 'Caravan Of Courage' would be....nice?

hot fake rumor: deluxe edition contains animated christmas special easter egg!

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish I could say I was more excited about this.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

ha! I've already got the non-special editions on burned-DVD from a Laserdisc transfer. Note: I really not that much of a fanboy anymore, it was just a present from a very thoughtful stepfather.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course the reason I'm not a fanboy anymore is because Lucas has totally polluted the franchise.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Animated Christmas special? The Star Wars Christmas special wasn't animated, it had Bea Arthur. Or is there another one?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

There was an animation sequence that was part of the special.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 16:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Well that's true, but still.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

As far as I'm concerned, it's all about Bea Arthur dancing with that alien and singing her really really long song.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

the animated part is the part that fanboys drool over, because it has Boba Fett

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Well but I hate Star Wars and like the Golden Girls, so...

I love these movies but will *not* be purchasing these. The Special Editions are lame, and are now merely portents of the biggest betrayal in movie history (eps 1 and 2 obv).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Please elaborate!

HAN SHOT FIRST

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Han Solo took pre-emptive action to affect regime change among Greedo's molecules under reliable intelligence that Greedo had a weapon of Han-Destruction.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

The three films will be available only as a collection and will be the special editions only — the versions that were digitally spruced up a few years ago — and not the originals.

Then I'm not interested. The special editions are far from special.

wrong. i want the original movies i grew up with, not the CGI trash they dumped on us in 1997.

― stevie (stevie), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I would love a dvd of the originals.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

The main betrayal was the reduction of the 'force' to biology.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha, George Lucas gets last laugh by retroactively making original trilogy as scummy as new episodes! George, baby, you kill me.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

A few instances aside (the Greedo/Han exchange, the unnecessary vocal switch from the perfectly coldly delivered "Bring me my shuttle!" from Vader after the duel with Luke, a couple of others), I actually don't mind the special editions as such. And hey, at least they ditched the 'Yub nub' song.

As for the originals, I am holding carefully onto my remastered vid set from the mid-nineties.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

oh and Jar Jar etc. gygax, do you really need an elaboration. The sins are pretty obvious. Oh and Anakin's acting in the second one had me cringing for almost an hour.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread has just saved me hours of wasted time, and wasted cash. This makes me wonder if Lucasfilm is entering Chapter 11, if they are pushing this by-product out as "worth buying".

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I love the Yub nub song. It's not whether it's good or bad, it's that the guy is changing something that can be polished and remastered and retouched, but not reordered and redone.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh and Anakin's acting in the second one had me cringing for
almost an hour.
did you walk out halfway?

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, I was talking about the most egregious parts (i.e. the scenes he was in).

Also!, if the Alien quadrilogy can have nine discs, then why the f*ck can't george lucas get his sorry act together?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Does George Lucas not care about making money, or are we so hungry for Star Wars DVDs that we'll buy this even though no one on the planet prefers the special editions to the originals?

― dleone (dleone), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh and Anakin's acting in the second one had me cringing for almost an hour.

Just an hour, Spencer? I avoided PM like the plague for years (til it came out on TV) since I was warned by everyone how laughable it is. Sadder still, isn't he in another movie coming out soon?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Did they replace the Yub Nub song with "Come Sail Away" by Styx?

― Nemo (JND), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Worse, he's Canadian.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

They replaced it with random shots of digital cities around the universe celebrating. Those shots had no business tacked onto the end of that.

Also, George Lucas MO now is to go establishing shot crazy. There are like 10 special effects sequences anytime anyone goes anywhere.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

So they just changed it to be like the end of "Independence Day"?

― Nemo (JND), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Adding CGI Jabba to Episode IV ruins any surprise that a first time Star Wars trilogy viewer might have as well. I won't have my children watching the 'special editions'. I would much rather watch the films having the Jabba character referenced with mystery throughout IV and V, saving payoff of seeing the integral character for the first time in VI.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

and it raises uncomfortable questoins about how did Jabba sloven up so much between IV and VI?

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Easy Mac

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I blame Salacious Crumb.

― Nemo (JND), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

because from I to IV he seems about the same, if memory serves...

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

There was a recent edition of South Park where the boys kidnapped Lucas and Spielberg to stop them retouching/adding new scenes to 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. It was hysterical.

― pete s, Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

The Empire Strikes Back special edition wasn't bad, probably because George Lucas did't want to mess with too much with that one. But god, can't they at least have the original versions on this set as well?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

what did they do to Empire, btw?
Only saw about half of newfangled SW. Kept falling asleep. Was hungover a lot in '97.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

thx spencer. i gave up on the franchise after the 3rd one, even then i ~~hated fun~~ knew better.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Didn't they spruce up the cloud city in the Special edition of ESB?

― Doobie Keebler (Charles McCain), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, they did.

I kind of hate myself for knowing that.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 20:16 (twenty-two years ago)

what, did they make it more cloudy or something?

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 20:17 (twenty-two years ago)

i remember them adding more flying scenes.

p.s. nicole, if i ever have access to a dvd burner i'll make you some copies.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Lucas should have gone darker as most of his crowd saw the Star Wars films as kids.
For the now grown up mid twenties bloke living in a post Alien/Aliens world and reading the Timothy Zahn trilogy the expectations were for something a little deeper/darker, also the Matrix was out that year.

empire was pretty fucken dark.

― stevie (stevie), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

and the matrix is pseudogabble bullshit.

more fool the mid twenties bloke. LUCAS CARES MORE ABOUT CHILDREN SHOCKAH. the series is aimed primarily at kids, particularly the prequels. Warchowskis should've written a more intelligent story but i'm not really complaining as i still like big robots and kung-fu.

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 13:18 (twenty-two years ago)

"empire was pretty fucken dark."

I'm talking about how Lucas should have ep1 and ep2 to appeal to the now older fans of eps 4/5/6.

"and the matrix is pseudogabble bullshit."

I never said it wasn't I was talking about what Star Wars fans want, not what I want.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 13:19 (twenty-two years ago)

well, i'm a star wars fan. and i still prefer eps i & ii to The Matrix.

Gather your inner strength Stevie, in that you're about to take a lot of flack throughout the day.

I'm talking about how Lucas should have ep1 and ep2 to appeal to the now older fans of eps 4/5/6

as much as i would like to see a sophisticated and cerebral adult-orientated sci-fi saga, this wouldn't have worked - Star Wars is not and never purported to be such a thing.

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

i shall use the force, obi wan ned kenobi...

for me, Lucas *shouldn't* have attempted to explicitly appeal to the kids who grew up with eps 4-6 by making the prequels darker (though, given the stroy arc, ep 3 should be pretty bleak, ultimately)... he should've aimed for the same dual pleasures of the original trilogy, movies that both sate kids' desire for high adventure, explosions and amiable characters, as well as their parents'/older siblings' nostalgic desires for escapism in the form of space operas boasting readily identifiable forces for good and evil (as opposed to the confusion of real life).

For me, Lucas failed these impulses of escapism in TPM, with the clumsy and confusing political plot and the moronic and unwise racial/cultural stereotyping of the various alien cultures. And with the invention of characters like Jar Jar and the poor acting of the anakin kid in ep ii, he couldn't help but alienate older viewers with the sheer irritation of it all.

― stevie (stevie), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 14:01 (twenty-two years ago)

otm really, but i still really enjoyed I and II in the cinema (ditto Matrix II and III)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

i enjoyed ep II, but seeing ep I for the first time in a cinema was an *excruciating* experience.

― stevie (stevie), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

by OUR standards, would the Christmas Special (mostly live action) be LESS embarrassing than Ep. 1?

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

(mostly live BEA ARTHUR action!)

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

the Christmas Special is absolutely worse than the Phantom Menace and i fail to see how anyone could feel otherwise other than as a natural response from being a grown up when TPM came out but only a kid when the Xmas Special aired. i saw the XMas Special after TPM came out tho, so i guess i'm just as biased.

At this point I'm largely convinced that III will be 20 minutes of George Lucas rolling around naked in Crisco.

Followed by a trilogy of novels by Timothy Zahn about the Crisco's back story and home planet.

The special edition released the following weekend replaces George Lucas with Harry Knowles and the Crisco with George Lucas. Asked, "Wouldn't it be cheaper to replace the Crisco with Harry Knowles?" Lucas had to choke a bitch.

Painstaking restoration performed on Star Wars trio for Sept. 21 DVD release
By John McKay
TORONTO (CP) — Were Luke Skywalker’s eyes really that blue?
Did the cacophonous rebel-versus-Empire battle on the ice planet Hoth sound that amazing?
What happened to the little black matte boxes that visibly framed the tie fighters during those space dogfights?
No doubt about it.
The original Star Wars movies haven’t just been given a beauty treatment for their long-awaited Sept. 21 release on DVD. They’ve undergone an extreme makeover.
“There were scenes that had over a million pieces of dirt in them,” says Kevin Kurtz, marketing manager for Lucasfilm, which oversaw the meticulous cleaning of the original negative elements for the Star Wars Trilogy. “We’re proud about basically what was done. George (Lucas) has taken a look at these films and gone ‘Wow, they in my opinion look better than when originally screened.’ ”
The titles, 1977’s Star Wars (now known as Episode IV: A New Hope), 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back and 1983’s Return of the Jedi, also now carry THX-mastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX audio tracks, something the original film didn’t have even for its 20th anniversary re-release in 1997.
The result is a state-of-the-art package for what is, after all, the last and most-requested popcorn blockbuster franchise to make the less-than-light-speed jump to the DVD home video format. While many stories have circulated that creator-producer Lucas was too busy making the ongoing prequel trilogy to oversee these digital transfers, Kurtz says it was basically the lack of technology, the kind of computer power that was needed to make the audio and visual elements sparkle.
Until now.
“Success breeds dirt,” explains Kurtz. “Which is to say that the more popular a movie is, the better a movie has done, the dirtier they get, the more scratches they get. Because essentially you have to go back to those negatives to strike new prints.”
As a result, digital experts had to perform a frame-by-frame restoration, removing loads of dirt and scratches. One question that Kurtz refused to answer, however, deals with whether there’s been anything more than just cosmetic improvements to the films, recalling how Steven Spielberg made some key content adjustments to scenes in E.T. when it came out on DVD. The films were already juiced up with more modern CGI F/X during the ’97 theatrical and video releases and these new discs are described as those special editions.
For the foreseeable future, purists will have to rely on their video cassette widescreens to enjoy the un-doctored originals.
But as for any content tweaking this time out? “You guys will have to see for yourselves. These are the films as George sees them right now,” is all Kurtz would say, except to add cryptically that it’s an artist’s prerogative to paint over his works.
(The lengths of the new releases vary by only a minute or two and any substantive changes are few. At the end of the Jedi DVD, for example, the ghostly image of Anakin Skywalker, Luke’s father, has been replaced with that of young Hayden Christensen, who played the role in Episodes 2 and 3.)
A sneak peek given to reporters recently confirms that the image and sound are certainly groundbreaking. When Mark Hamill tells Carrie Fisher that he’s come to rescue her from the evil Empire’s dungeon, the skin tones and the blue in his eyes are startling in their clarity. And gone — mostly — are all the F/X flaws that marred the early space battle sequences when optical matte cutouts were visible around the superimposed ship models viewed against the black starfields of space.
The films are packaged in a boxed set similar to the previous VHS collection of the Special Editions. There are three discs containing the three titles only — using every “bit” of space for optimum quality. They include new optional audio commentaries by Lucas and cast and crew.
A fourth disc offers more than four hours worth of extras, including Empire of Dreams, a whopping 2 1/2-hour documentary on the history of the franchise’s creation. (A 90-minute version airs on A&E on Sept. 12).
Among the interesting clips are screen tests showing Kurt Russell and Perry King trying out for the part of Han Solo and Cindy Williams as Princess Leia, roles that, of course, eventually went to Harrison Ford and Fisher.
The disc also includes a behind-the-scenes preview of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, due in theatres next year, as well as a look at Star Wars Battlefront, a video game also coming onto the market Sept. 21.
And, as with the recent DVD release of Spielberg’s early film efforts, Lucas’s low-budget 1971 sci-fi debut, THX-1138, is being released Sept. 14 by Warners in two versions, a restoration of the original and a director’s cut.

Some factoids about the making of George Lucas’s Star Wars Trilogy, coming to DVD Sept. 21:
—Lucas wrote an original treatment called The Star Wars in May 1973.
—Lucas based Chewbacca on his dog Indiana, a malamute that was also the inspiration for Indiana Jones. (In the third Jones film, Sean Connery tells his “son” Harrison Ford that they had named the dog Indiana.)
—In the first draft of Star Wars, Han Solo was a huge green-skinned monster with no nose and a large gill.
—Initial conceptions of Yoda also had him as a small blue humanoid, a miniature wizard-like man and a wrinkled, scary swamp creature.
—The opening crawl for Star Wars says it’s Episode IV: A New Hope. But that was not in the original 1977 prints. It was added for the film’s re-release in 1981.
—When Darth Vader tells Luke that he is his father, actor Mark Hamill wasn’t aware that the line was coming until just moments before the cameras rolled.
—Industrial Light and Magic completed more than 900 F/X shots for Return of the Jedi, nearly three times the number created for the original film.
—One single visual effect shot in Return of the Jedi contained 65 separate elements, a record number in 1983.
—Hollywood unions levied fines on Lucas for putting the Star Wars credits at the end of the films instead of the beginning, an innovative move at the time. Hollywood politics also reared its head when The Empire Strikes Back ran over budget and spelled the end of the career of then Fox studio director Alan Ladd, Jr. As a result, Lucas and Steven Spielberg went to Paramount for their next project, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
—Actor John Ratzenberger, who played Cliff Claven on TV’s Cheers sitcom, appears briefly as Maj. Bren Derlin of the rebel forces in Empire.
—The new Star Wars DVDs have an unusual menu in which discs load randomly to one of three possible planet backgrounds.
—The Star Wars experience led Lucas to create several pioneering institutions that changed the way Hollywood made movies: Industrial Light & Magic, Skywalker Sound and THX theatre sound systems.
—Quote: “It’s blowing people away and again we truly think, hopefully, that people will have a whole new experience with Star Wars.” — Kevin Kurtz, marketing manager for Lucasfilm, on restoration of original three episodes for DVD.
