Got this in my mail on Feb 10th, since no one has posted anything about it, I thought I should let you guys know.

The most requested films for the DVD format will finally become a reality this September as Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox present the eagerly-awaited Star Wars Trilogy for the ultimate home entertainment format. The four-disc collection will be released on September 21 in the U.S. and Canada, with international release dates following closely.

"We know how long fans have waited for this release and how much they have been looking forward to it, so everyone has been working overtime to make sure that the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD is an awesome experience," said Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing and Distribution for Lucasfilm Ltd. and the DVD collection's Executive Producer.

Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi will be available in a four-disc set that includes a bonus disc filled with all-new special features -- including the most comprehensive feature-length documentary ever produced about the Star Wars saga and never-before-seen footage from the making of all three films. Each of the three films in the Star Wars Trilogy has been digitally restored and re-mastered by THX for superior sound and picture quality.

"First and foremost, the DVDs will deliver the very best possible sound and picture and take advantage of everything the medium can offer. On top of that, we are creating added-value material that gets inside the creation of the Star Wars films in a fresh and fun way," Ward said. "We want watching this DVD collection to be as memorable as seeing the movies for the first time."

The films of the Star Wars Trilogy will be available exclusively as a collection and will feature Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX. All three films are closed-captioned and subtitled in English, French and Spanish in the U.S. Internationally, sound and subtitling specifications will vary by territory.
 
6 months and no replies... :disgust:

Anyway, I'll be getting my copies as soon as they come out :headbang:
 
the rumour is that in the end of ROTJ when Luke sees the three ghosts the Anakin one will be Christen Haydensen.
 
luis i swear we have another thread on this an freak your right lucas has went in and did some modification on some of the people to make it more "believable" yea right. tell him to leave them as they were orginally.......
 
It's still kind of funny that Lucas would delay putting his movies on DVD because of concerns about the quality of the medium, when he had no problems releasing his movies on VHS.

Confirmed :grumpy:
Just saw the movie, Anakin appears younger in that scene.

I'm no star wars freak, and I was never fond of the newer versions of the movies, I can only tell what was modified from the 1st version of the movies making further changes from the 2nd version to the dvds impossible for me to differentiate.
