FFS Fuk off with this Star Wars crap will ya and stop feeding the hype wagon. This is exactly what that lame Lucas tosser wants. Oh and that Star Wars Part I, The Phancum Menace or whatever it was called a ****. The only way I'll ever own that on DVD is if I need another coaster.

I'm just guessing here Gandalf but you're trying to rile us Star Wars fans up, right? Oh well God loves a trier. I'll do you a favour and point out your fatal mistake. If you care not one whit about the 'greatest film ever made' then don't post a response to a topic on it. If you do, as in this case, it becomes obvious you're just arsing around and trying to annoy fans of a genre. Please respect those fans in the same way you might want us to respect something you feel passionate about. Thank You.

its got my vote anyway

I'd love to see the whole trilogy (if possible) released on dvd.

Can't say i was overly impressed by the first one ... as a stand alone film it was relatively good i suppose ... but considering the other 3 are genuine classics, it just failed to hit the mark.

The problem being it was targeted at a young audience and was a bit too 'Disneyesque'

Still if the other two are what they say (i.e. Darker .. more violent) then i'd love to see them on DVD sooner.

ps- The best opening to the Next Star Wars would be Jar Jar taking a bullet from an angry Anakin.

The greatest film ever made........... sheah right

F' that. Gandalfs right. Have you seen what the release price is for Star wars E1 here? Normal Vid, $19, Special edition $40.

Consider the shops avg price is $9 for a video movie (Matrix), you have any idea what the DVD is going to cost.

Movie was kack anyway.

Monty - the one and only

You're right, It is the greatest movie ever made

Shouldn't this be in After Hours, Riker???

This is for Muso

How to deal with Star Wars Fanatics.

1. When someone starts in about the life-changing role the first Star Wars movie played in their developmental years, casually announce that you've never seen it, but that you've heard it's "pretty good".

2. Get crucial terminology wrong - drives the die-hards postal. Confuse Wookies with "Winkies," and call Yoda "Yodel". Refer to Return Of The Jedi as Revenge of the Jedi.

3. Get the names of key characters wrong. Or better, forget them entirely. For example, say something like, "You remember the guy from those movies . . . you know . . . the guy with the black plastic face and the respiratory problem?" Or, "My favourite is Ben-Wa Kenubi. You know the old English guy? I love that guy!"

4. Insist that The Empire Strikes Back is the only worthwhile Star Wars movie because "it's so dark."

5. Confuse rabidly fan-based science-fictional universes. Not only will it save time, you'll double your satisfaction by offending two rabid nerdocracies at once!
For example: insist that Luke Skywalker is fighting for "The Federation" and that Chewbacca (or better, "Chewbaccy") is a "Vulcan". Moreover, assert that "Boldly go where no man has gone before" is a Jedi commandment, and brush off all attempts at correction with a dismissive "Whatever. As if anyone cares."

6. Make vaguely unsettling insinuations about George Lucas. Try: "Isn't he involved in some sort of DNA-cloning controversy?" or: "I hear he only talks to his mother through a TV monitor." or this fail-safe: "I read this piece where he said Star Wars is for people who hate sex."

7. Insist that there's a "latent homoerotic subtext" to the Han Solo-Luke Skywalker relationship, and that you're made uncomfortable by Lucas' "non-critical neo-Nazi aesthetic". When asked what the heck you're talking about, roll your eyes and refer to the "blatant homage to Riefenstahl's Triumph Of The Will" at the end of the first movie, then add, "Don't tell me you didn't notice?"

8. When someone describes the insane lengths they went to to see The Phantom Menace - camping out, taking time off work, neglecting loved ones, not bathing, etc. - respond by suddenly recalling that someone you know "in the business" gave you free tickets but you lost them.

Then add: "Funny, that's the first time I've even thought about it!"

mewso

Yeah - saw that one before. Quite amusing. E1 wasn't great but I'd buy the DVD just for the saber fight. And for Christ sake why doesn't Lucas just give in and get his mate Spielberg to direct the next two.

P.S. Quake, Quake2, Quake3Arena - just to make the post more valid.
