From: StarWars.com Click the small pics for larger versions <div align=center>_____Episode IV: A New Hope ______Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi___________Bonus Materials </div> On September 21, when it comes time to tear through the shrink-wrap and open the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD, here's what you'll find inside. As described here, the four-disc set is encased in an attractive two-sided package with embossed cover art rendered in platinum for widescreen editions, or gold for full screen editions. Inside, the four discs each feature new artwork for their covers. The cover art to each Episode features the same photographic art style found on the already available Episode I and II DVDs, unifying the saga as a whole. The art printed on the disc themselves features poster art from the original theatrical release. The disc art for A New Hope is by Tom Jung, Empire by Roger Kastel and Jedi by Kazuhiko Sano. The bonus disc features a new image of Darth Vader, with his eyes serving as a window to the wealth of behind-the-scenes material found on disc four. As the documentaries on this fourth disc delve into the very origins of the Star Wars saga, the disc art fittingly features a very early poster concept by Ralph McQuarrie. For those who like their DVD shelves tidy and uniform, the boxed set can be displayed in different ways. The inner box that slides out of the slip case can be placed so that box art faces outwards, or that the individual DVD spines face outward, to properly show the numerical indices of each Episode. Also, care has been taken that all the spines assembled work as a whole, so that your complete library of Episodes I-VI (including Episode III) will have a cohesive design, with prequel and original trilogy delineated by color. For a complete list of the DVD features, see this story. Keep checking starwars.com for future updates on this highly anticipated release. Sweeet.
Awesome stuff! I'm glad they fixed the covers so people will stop calling Episode IV just "Star Wars", Episode V just "The Empire Strikes Back" and Episode VI just "Return of the Jedi". I wish they'd release the title of Episode III as well, along with a teaser trailer. Okay, I'll stop being picky now.
There's a behind the scenes thing about Darth Vader in Episode III, I hope they sneak the teaser in there somehow.
I LOVE Return of the Jedi's box art. The Bonus Materials box art should be on the case that holds all 4 discs, but oh well. How much will it cost? Either I skimmed over it or it just isn't there. Hell, despite the cost, I'll buy it anyway.
From what I had read earlier, these are the "SPECIAL EDITION" versions, Lucas said he had no plans of releasing the originals. And no way am I buying it. I already have 2 different VHS trilogies
Holy crap, I want these! My VCR sucks now, so having these on DVD along with special stuff will rule even more . Me = Star Wars fan
Me = Star Wars Geek $50 isn't bad at all, I'll be buying it as soon as it hits. Maybe I'll put it on layaway.
I don't care if these are the special editions, it's at least the Star Wars trilogy for the first time on DVD...these are going to kill when they hit shelves!
Me=read and own 50+ Star Wars books. Me=Possible biggest Star Wars geek on the forums. Me=is definitely getting this!
