Update on Star Wars Original Trilogy release date
by Doc on Dec.09, 2003, under General News
tchansen writes “According to sources at http://theforce.net, the original Star Wars trilogy is set for a release date of November 4th, 2004. The rumor is that each of the three films would be released separately with no boxed set of the trilogy. I doubt it will stay that way and that a boxed set will end up available.
Also of note, the episode I and II DVDs will be discontinued on December 31st, 2003 according to another article at TheForce.Net. Speculation is that the Clone Wars cartoons featured on Cartoon Network may soon be released on DVD and that the episode I and II DVDs are discontinued in favor of that release. However, a search of the Zap2It site used as a source for the article didn’t turn up any references to a DVD release of the cartoons.”
