The Test Pattern magazine at Coming Attractions is reporting from various sources that Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace might be a DVD as soon as the Fall. It is rumored to contain two DVDs with three versions of the film, 30 minutes of deleted material, all the usual bells and whistles, and a look at Episode II Production. Mind you, it’s all a rumor…
Update 3/19: The rumors continue…Ain’t It Cool News is reporting the release date will be October 16th, 2001, along with DVDs of the first 3 movies appearing in the 4th quarter of 2002 (Star Wars), 2003 (The Empire Strikes Back), and 2004 (Return of the Jedi).
Updated 3/23: Aldera.net is reporting that someone may have gotten fired for leaking the memo about the DVD, which lends authenticity to the rumor (if this rumor is true…)
