The hype machine keeps on rolling: jarv writes "CNN has an article where George Lucas talks about how the Star Wars hype has gotten out of hand. " and an anonymous reader sent us a link to an article over at DVD resource where Lucas talks about DVD Star Wars and how it looks like it'll be a loooong time before we see it. Lastly jkottke wrote in to tell us that the Fray is running a thing about Star Wars memories. There's some good stuff there... my first Star Wars memory is seeing Jedi with my Dad- its the first movie I remember seeing on the silver screen. Then there was watching SW blipped out on HBO, watching Empire and being scared so bad that I had to be reminded that I had already seen Jedi, so Darth couldn't kill Luke. And more recently, watching the trilogy almost every weekend for 2 straight years with Dave while doing homework in our dorm room.

Christopher Neufeld writes "The DVD Resource Page reports that Lucasfilm is putting certain restrictions on tickets for SW:TPM. According to "theatre exhibitors", no advance tickets will be available, only same-day showings, for at least the first two weeks of the run, and no theatre rentals will be permitted for the first eight weeks." There goes the plans for LinuxExpo. This is gonna be a pain.
