[Videolib] Star Wars: the Complete Saga on DVD

2012-01-11 Thread Chris McNevins
Hello All,

We're doing the VHS--DVD upgrade bit and I've had a request to replace
our VHS version of Star Wars Trilogy.  I would like to get the Complete
Saga but it was only released on Blu-Ray in September and now there are
rumblings that it will be released in 3d sometime this year.  Does
anyone have any idea if the Complete Saga will ever get release in
good old-fashioned DVD??

Thanks!

Chris

Who knows...I stopped paying attention when I heard that the Blu-Ray versions 
are altered even more than the special edition (post-1997) releases, and 
don't include the original theatrical release versions.
There are plenty of secondhand DVD copies available on Amazon Marketplace.

If your VHS tapes are the originals (pre-1997), hang onto them.
And let us pray that Lucas does not alter them further.
