danimal wrote with news for the Star Wars buffs: From the NewsAskew site comes the tidbit that Star Wars Episode I DVD will be coming out in April of 2000. It's a tip from an anonymous source, but the official announcement is supposed to be coming Jan. 4 from the Lucas man himself. The announcement is midway down the NewsAskew page.

    I work in a fairly high-level position with a large video retailer, and all the major retail chains have been notified by Fox on Monday/Tuesday that it will be released on VHS only on 4/4/00 - with a Widescreen edition only being available as part of a Star Wars Gift Pack. DVD? Lucas says "no way" until there are *at least* 10 million DVD players in consumer's homes in the U.S. What's the current date Fox is quoting? 2006.
