Dude, look at the date on that post

[RollaFett]

StarWarsFan1, I'm sure there are plenty of people who have signed the petition. Doesn't mean they're all going to post about it, right?

[StarWarsFan1]

yea ur right

[RollaFett]

Also, the number that others have mentioned is the number of sigs at that point, so people are signing it. I only hope that these petitions help.

[mtilden]

There is another, bigger and better petition at http://www.originaltrilogy.com/

[DblDwn]

Why are you guys petitioning to get the OT on DVD when you know that it will be out on DVD sometime around 2006-2007? If you want it now, just buy the bootleg from overseas. It works fine for me until the real one comes out.

We mean the original, original trilogy, i.e. not the Special Editions. The Special Editions are fine, but we would like to have the older versions available as well, if for no other reason than history, so that future film historians will be able to trace the development of it.

[DblDwn]

Oops my bad.

[JediJaina]

Signed it..done

[Vibroblade]

Done. I don't think it's necessary though. They'll release it when they can. Believe me, GL isn't adverse to the money.

We're talking about the original, unaltered versions of the OT. We all know that the Special Editions, or whatever hybrid of the OT will be released after EP III.

[Vibroblade]

Oh I see. Purist are we?

[Clara]

Can't even get the untouched originals on VHS anymore, let alone DVD. Good luck trying.

[StarWarsFan1]

wow thanx for pinning this topic, it just may help

[Darth Badly]

I hope he does, but I doubt Uncle George will let the old true versions of SW the OT out again.

It's come to a fine thing when folks have to beg him to release the bloody films that made him all the money in the first place.

Actually, I got the widescreen THX digitally remastered version that came out in 1995 on ebay.

I also got a couple of VCDs that have trailers and documentaries and whatnot on them, so that I can transfer it all to DVDs. For my own personal use of course.

I have them all. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif ....with Norwegian subtitle........

When I bought them, it was told that this was the last opportunity to purchase the original trilogy.....little did I know of the SE at that time....... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif
When the SE came.....I bought them too........... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif

[Darth Saconjurer]

They'll never release the originals on DVD, I've even heard rumor of a "special" special edition to fit in with the prequels

[dolemite]

Don't want to disappoint anyone, but electronic petitions are entirely worthless. Since there is nothing to stop me from adding thousands of fictitious names, and there is no way to effectively verify them, it is a waste of time.

[QuigonWindu]

The new editions will be out after ep. 3. What's the big deal with the originals. The special edition was better. And the DVD edition will be the best yet.

Man I hope this is true!

[FallenJedi]

Yes, yes!

Star Wars Trilogy (DVD): Finally, the classic original series trilogy may at last be coming to DVD in order to help the buzz for "Episode Three". The Digital Bits reports that Lucasfilm is so happy with the format of their upcoming "Indiana Jones Trilogy" DVD set hitting shelves late October that they're rumoured to be planning to use the same style to release the classic Star Wars films. This would mean a four disc set with one film on each, plus a fourth disc with extra features for all three films. Work is believed to have already begun with a 4th Quarter 2004 release date being targeted. For now though this is still rumour, nothing official has yet come from Lucasfilm about this.

Strange that I do not. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif

Unless Lucas is also planning much nicer sets of both trilogies for us dvd collectors... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/scratchchin.gif

[RollaFett]

Yeah, I agree Bond. I would rather they wait until they can devote the necessary time to make it right. I want deleted scenes, I want documentaries, new and old, I want trailers, etc.... There is plenty they can do with the OT, I hope they don't blow it.

[bluemilk]

^exactly. Why rush it? Technology will be so much better in 2005/06 that it's worth waiting until then. Besides completing Episode III is so much more important than satisfying consumerism.

[Justin]

I bought the widescreen digitally remastered Star Wars Trilogy that was put out in 1995 on VHS.

I also bought VCDs that have documentaries and trailers and other such things that would make nifty special features on a DVD.

I have digital video capturing and DVD authoring software.

Draw your own conclusions! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

However, the Galactic Senate and Starwarz.com do not endorse the unauthorized selling of bootleg items.

[bluemilk]

selling to your fellow sw geeks? that's shameful! you're a very bad man Justin style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel.gif

[Justin]

Hey, I didn't say I was selling anything. I'm making it for my own personal use, since Lucas says he will never release DVDs of the original versions.

[Javen]

There are many places on the net to get the OT on DVD.

[JediJaina]

Yep you could do it...EEEEBAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

I completely agree with this petition. I hope it works!

[Darth Bangkok]

Question: What is my bootleg copy of the SE OT bootlegged from? I had just assumed that it was copied from a DVD. BUt I guess not. Were they copied from VHS or what? That shows what you get buying things on the street for $5 in Bangkok

[Count Dookie]

As it has been said in this thread before. How in the world is this a vaild petition. There are not signitures or addresses to be provided to Lucas Films. Not only that, but GL will not release them until HE wants to.

[Sith1977]

The bootlegged DVDs are copied from the original Dolby-Digital Laserdisc versíon of the OT SE. They feature good picture quality, Dolby Digital 5.1-sound and most of them are divided into chapters...
But be careful, some of them offer poor sound quality... I experienced a change in volume during the films, everytime a scene changes from action to dialogue... IT SUCKS.

[Darth Bangkok]

It does suck. I bought 3 copies of ESB ($!5) and in EVERY one when the Imperial March comes on for the first time the sounds goes down about 10 notches. AAAAAAHHH!!
