<img src="http://zorlac.ca/images/starwars_design_2_large.jpg" style="float:right;" width="200">The Star Wars Trilogy is to be released on DVD September 21<sup>st</sup>, and already the flaming has begun. From book club debates to almost 900 posts on Amazon there's quite a lot of discussion going on about the new versions, and the changes therein.

The feature list from Amazon promises lots of goodies, even if you detest the changes made to the films themselves. Unfortunately it appears that Hamil will not comment on any of the films.

- Episode IV, A New Hope
- Commentary by George Lucas, Ben Burtt, Dennis Muren, and Carrie Fisher
- Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back
- Commentary by George Lucas, Irvin Kershner, Lawrence Kasdan, Ben Burtt, Dennis Muren, and Carrie Fisher
- Episode VI, Return of the Jedi
- Commentary by George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan, Ben Burtt, Dennis Muren, and Carrie Fisher
- Bonus disc: all-new bonus features, including the most comprehensive feature-length documentary ever produced on the Star Wars saga, and never-before-seen footage from the making of all three films
- "Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy"
- Featurettes: The Legendary Creatures of Star Wars, The Birth of the Lightsabre, The Legacy of Star Wars
- Teasers, trailers, TV spots, still galleries
- Playable Xbox demo of the new Lucasarts game Star Wars Battlefront
- The making of the Episode III videogame
- Exclusive preview of Star Wars: Episode III
- Widescreen anamorphic format
- Number of discs: 4

I'll probably get it for the interviews. Personally I dislike George editing the origional films to make them fit with the new vision.

Oh, yeah, almost forgot to mention. Kudos to whom ever wrote the feature list there on Amazon, and spelled lightsabre correctly. :D
