Does anyone know if LucasFilm will be releasing all 6 movies on DVD in a collector's pack or something similar to what is currenlty avaliable for the Triology that is out right now? I don't want to buy the current DVD Triology if their is going to (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, chances are if that's what you're hoping for, then Lucas will go out of his way to make sure it doesn't happen. Here's a recent quote(1) by my old friend George that highlights this point: Q: Do you pay much attention to fan reactions to (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) IMO the chances of the prequels being released as another three-pack is much better than having all six of the movies together. AC (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Dude, it's a 4-disc set that you can find for just over $40. This is one of those rare cases where extra packaging actually saves you money. If they'd taken them out of the box and sold them individually, you'd probably be looking at $15-20 (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) First, I am not a raving Star Wars fan but I did purchase the DVD trilogy and two things really irked me. 1) The obligatory "Han shoots first!!". OK, I feel better already. 2) The scene with Jabba/Han in "A New Hope" sucks. Plain and simple. (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Agreed, I don't know of a single Star Wars Fan that likes this change. Actually instead of "Han shoots first!!" it should say "Han doesn't give Greedo a chance to think about pulling the trigger". Han is a smuggler afterall not some rightous (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Can someone please refresh my memory as it has been a long, long time since I've watched the 1977 version of Star Wars. Its this correct. 1977 Version: Han Solo shoots Greedo without giving Greedo a chance to shoot. 1990s SE Version: Greedo (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) Please allow me to be the 0.1% that makes you 100% sure--Greedo did not shoot at all in the original screen release. And here's why: Because it made Han Solo a self-interested rogue who wasn't afraid to shoot first if it was expedient to do (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) Aside from the phrasing, yes, that's essentially it. Technically, Greedo had plenty of opportunity to shoot Han in the original version, but his greed exceeded his competence, and he forgot to keep his eyes on what Han's hands were doing. In (...)
