Looking ahead, Verrecchia said he expected Star Wars to continue to be a strong performer with Lucas planning a video release for this year's 30th anniversary, a Star Wars animated TV show next year and a live-action Star Wars TV show in 2009.

Wow, I wonder where star wars will be in the next 30 years. It'll be interesting to find out.

Can't say it wasn't expected... I still won't buy SW again until it is the "George Lucas Memorial Collection." That's right, the bloke has to die.

The only hope would be that Lucas is only planning it like planning to have someone else design it. If it turns out he has little to do with them creatively and artistically, the plans might be interesting..

If I have a Hd-Dvd player by then, and it's in that format, I'll buy it. Otherwise... don't I already have these movies?

And I don't give a rat's *** if they release the original trilogy in anamorphic and dolby digital. I like the special editions enough.

Wasn't the 3D edition of Star Wars supposed to come out this year?

Fox has pledged exclusive support to Blue Ray I think so you won't be able to find it on HD-DVD in the future.

I wonder if it will be the 40th, or the 50th anniversary when he decides to do a special edition of the prequal trilogy.

Where we can expected to see changes in Episode 1 like better graphics and a few new scenes with Jar Jar Binks screwing around and making a fool of himself. New critters in the background shots and replacing some of the aliens with different alines in multiple shots.

In Episode 2 there will be many background changes, and more cheesy romantic dialogue, oh, and better digitally remastered lightsabers. He’ll hopefully change his mind about there being only four colors of lightsaber so we can expect to see pink in there somewhere as well. Padma’s pants get ripped in several places at the end.

This leaves us with limitless possibilities for Episode 3. Knowing Lucas, there will have to be an extended dance scene which will feature aliens singing in their native language about, who knows what. Jar Jar is given more lines and is thrown into many more scenes like Anakin and Obi-Wan’s rescue of Palpatine. Where Jar Jar will be strapped down to the ankles with ammo belts and heavy repeater rifle for each hand. Also he’ll end up having a secret love affaire with Padma which causes Anakin to turn to the dark side. When Mace Windu is thrown out of the window in Palpatines office, since he isn’t aloud to say “May the mother ****ing force be with you!” he’ll simply land in a transport infested with snakes. And all of this for the sake of paying homage to Samuel Jackson. Instead of Obi-Wan having a chance to shoot Count Grievous, Grievous slips off of the end of the landing pad and has an even less climatic death. Anakin and Obi-Wan’s final battle will be an extra 30 minutes long, with digitally remastered light sabers. And finally, when Darth Vader finds out about Padma’s death he still screams “NOOooooooo!” but this time the wall behind him will collapse.
In the final scenes, after Obi-Wan gives Luke to Owen, it fades off into a study where Jar Jar Binks is sitting at a desk and smoking a pipe. He breaks down the forth wall and explains that this is his story, he’ll then fill the audience in on some of his own philosophies concerning midiclorians and the Padma’s funky head dresses.

After this, the credits roll, the lights go on and the suicide rate goes up.
My blawgh.

Live action TV show could have potential... but lucas will probably mess it up.

You're exactly the kind of Star Wars fanboy I hate. I mean is it even still considered funny to make smart-*** comments about the special editions or prequels?

Then again I'm sure you're the same kind of person that ran "quoted for truth" and "pwned" into the ground.

The way I see it. If they do make a special addition of the prequels. Cool, I'll see it without question. but I'm sure the only difference will be a few graphical things and maybe some added scenes. Though it will be interesting to see what it would be like, if it ever comes to that.

George Lucas can cram it. I'm so tired of his constant re-releasing.

It would be great with less Jar Jar, but that would equate to Lucas admitting to a mistake, which he is far too proud to do. That's really his only downfall. He thinks he's always right.

Lucas has said he wants to redo the scenes in TPM with Yoda and replace him with the CGI version.

Thats not right, the WWI Part of Young Indianna Jones was excellent.

Infact most of it was. They shouldnt have chucked in so many historical figures though.
