Star Wars DVD Cover Art Leaked
An anonymous reader writes "Everyone already knows that Star Wars is coming to DVD. In related news, the Digital Bits reports that the proposed cover art for the upcoming Star Wars Trilogy box set was "accidentally" leaked over the weekend by design company Neuron Syndicate. The images were pulled, but not before copies were made. Three versions of packages for the Star Wars Trilogy can currently be viewed at French fansite KamuiWeb. If only those were packages of the original versions of these childhood classics...."
but just in case, a mirror. Its a good static site with just a couple of graphics, probably wont be an issue.....
Cool things that Mark Hamill has done outside of Star Wars:
1. In the original theatrical run of "Amadeus", the movie version of which later swept the oscars, debuted the part of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart across from Ian McKellen playing Antonio Saliere
2. Was in the horribly underrated sitcom "Soap"
3. The Joker, for crying out loud
Hold on, I'm sure more will come to me eventually... imdb says that he played "Evil Cat" in an episode of the Powerpuff Girls, that's got to count for something.
gah, seriously, in the a new hope book, han DOES shoot in self defense. In the original print of the film the scene is imperceptible, the special edition just cleared it up.

That, and consumers tend to grumble when they get one; they'd rather have two discs in a double Amaray or a bunch of them in a Digipack.

You have no one to blame but yourself if you "did not know" the SE was going to be released after the first edition. It was made *very* common knowledge to everyone long before the DVDs were for sale. There was no "trick the fans out of money" going on there.
The regular edition of the FotR actually lists "An Inside Look at the Special Extended DVD Edition" as one of the bonus features on the back of the DVD case. Thus, anyone who bothers to look at the contents should be able to deduce that "special extended DVD edition" is on the way prior to it appearing on store shelves.

At least Greedo and He weren't holding Walkie Talkies like the E.T. remake. (unless of course SouthPark was exaggerating)
Why are there only 19 people folding@home for slashdot?
The special editions were released on VHS in autumn 1997. No version of the original three Star Wars movies have ever had a legitimate DVD release until now.

Maybe your thinking of the cut, the cbs/fox release(vhs, light blue boxes), where in RotJ the Twilek dancer Oola (the green chick with the head tentacles)loses her top when Jabba drops her into the rancor pit.
