I think they need to actually release a sixth movie before they can do that. But don't fret, they will most assuradely sell a six movie version about two years from now.

It was the last time you could get the un-edited original trilogy. The dvds will only have the Special Editiong versions of the movies.

Also, looks like DeT got around to posting it before I did. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

The widescreen should be gold, and the formatted silver. Widescreen is better than formatted, and gold is better than silver, right (in general)?

There are some cases where silver > gold. Like like major oak leaves vs. lt. colonel oak leaves in the military.

Think more symbolization.

Widescreen = Movie Theater = Silver screen = Silve case. See my meaning?
