May 12, 2001 11:10pm (Darth Spork) Possible Episode 1 Release Confirmation!
Thanks to an sharp eyed reader it seams that The Digital Bits has confirmed that Episode 1 will come out on DVD on October 16 as a 2 disk set. I do hope The Digital Bits informant is correct on when the DVD will come out. If only the people at Fox or Lucasfilm would give us some offical information... On another note, the folks over at TheForce.net report that Warwick Davis recently went back and redubbed some scenes for the upcoming DVD.
April 22, 2001 11:50pm (Darth Spork) News and Stuff!
Incase you are a little low on the learning curve you may know my tour of the Star Wars DVD production was an April Fool's joke. Now for the new update! I clipped this little jem out of the local Wal Mart flyer . Do not forget to read the fine print :) Now on to the good news, according to what was said by Rick McCallum at a recent Star Wars convention Star Wars Episode 1 should be out "soon". Now I do not know what his idea of soon is, but for me its next week, or at the very latest May... On a good note there will be deleated scenes, no word on the important stuff like anamorphic transfer or DTS. At any rate for a DVD that took 2 years to make it better be good. Here is an interesting theory about the DVD release.. Rick McCallum states that it will come out soon, soon for most people is not 6 months down the road.. now factor in the rumors that the DVD has already been manufactured and the Episode 1 movie on TV has been pushed back to this fall.. I am guessing that we could see a DVD release this summer?!? at any rate I will cross my fingers and hope.
April 1, 2001 4:15am (Darth Spork) I take a tour of the Episode 1 DVD production!
First off The Force.net has a new rumor that the Episode 1 DVD is compleate. It supposedly sports an extra 20 minutes of deleted scenes.
March 19, 2001 2:35am (Darth Spork) Lots of Rumors.
There have been a lot of rumors going around latley, I wish Lucas or Fox would give some sort of offical release about the status of Star Wars coming to DVD. It has been about a year since any offical news has benn released, so I think we are a bit overdue for something new.
March 12, 2001 1:35am (Darth Spork) Bunch of Stuff...
Howdy again! Time for more news and stuff! First off DVD Angle is reporting that Episode 1 will indeed be released in November, but no formal press release has been done yet. In some related DVD news, Hardware Wars a parody of Star Wars will come out on DVD in about 6 months. You can get all the dirt here: You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss 3 bucks goodbye...HARDWARE WARS on DVD!
February 18, 2001 2:05pm (Darth Spork) More Episode 1 in November rumors.
Howdy once again Star Wars fans. I was browsing one of my favorate Star Wars toys sites, Rebelscum.com. Anyway they have a neat link to a Netherlands Star Wars site that has a picture of a flyer that lists Episode 1 for a November release. You can visit the site Rebel Collectors' World and see the picture of the sale add here. One thing to note, over there they are Region #2, and sometimes release dates differ between Region #1 and Region #2, so we could get it on a different date. A French site dvdfr.com also has similar news about a release at the end of the year (that is if I am reading it correct, my french reading skills suck the big one).
February 1, 2001 3:35pm (Darth Spork) Rumors and stuff... Hello once again! Not too much of the way in big news.... Here are some forum threads for you to read The Phantom Menace.....is it true and Another TPM post - I hope Bill Hunt is right . The Force.net has a rumor that is worth looking at. From their source they say that sombody is doing market research to see when people would like to have certain DVD's released to buy. Supposedly Episoe 1 and the other Star Wars Movies was polled at a release of 2002. Here is another fun link The Finger Gallery . January 21, 2001 8:00pm (Darth Spork) Stuff....
Howdy all! No big fun new rumors, or release dates :( So time for a bit of a rant :) It baffles me that so many good films have yet to be released on DVD. Over at Amazon.com the have a list in their DVD section of the most requested DVD's. Can you guess what is #1 on the list?
Now you ask what can I, a lowly consumer do about this? I would have to say write to Fox and to Lucas Film, tell them you want it now (remember to be nice, nobody likes a rude letter). If they get enough letters they just may get off their rears and release it sooner rather than later. You can find the adress to Mr. Lucas on the left menu bar. So untill we get an offical release stay away from the Dark Side and do not support bootlegs. Also don't forget to vote in the poll, in case some studio big wigs are visting this site its best to let your opinion knowen. Bonus link: The Best Way to View TPM. January 18, 2001 1:40am (Darth Spork) New Poll, and other stuff.
I have a new poll up on the left so vote away! Hopefully some of the folks at Fox that are working on the Episode 1 DVD may get some positive feedback from the poll.
January 15, 2001 10:20pm (Darth Spork) Rumors, Bickering, and Fanboys, oh my!
Howdy DVD fans, got a lot of stuff this update for you. First off we will start with some good rumors from them nice folks over at The Digital Bits. They are back from their coverage of the VSDA/CES show and bring back some good rumors. They say "And while the studio will say nothing on the record, I have very reliable word that Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace will be a late 2001 release on DVD, as at least a 2-disc set (and maybe 3 discs). Episode I will be the only Star Wars film to arrive on DVD this year however." So some good news that Episode 1 should be out later this year, and some bad news that Episode 4-6 will not be out this year. I can only hope this rumor will hold true and we will see Star Wars on DVD this year. I have updated the count-down clock for November, I hope the people at Fox give us a more accurate date to fine tune the counter ;)
December 31, 2000 2:50am (Darth Spork) Happy New Year eh. Well no Star Wars DVD's this year :( I can only hope that Lucas has a new year's resolution to release all of the Star Wars films on DVD in 2001. In more related news a kindly person sent in a link for another Star Wars VCD review over at DVD Town you can grab the article Here. And to kick the new year off here are some more links for ya. The Dozen: Most Wanted DVD Releases, Star Wars on VHS. Again., and last but not least When Star Wars is released on DVD will it be in DTS?. So have a good new year's party, and don't forget to NOT drink and drive, call a cab. |
