"Leaderboard", "Webstrips".

The collector focused video series comes off as a MTV cribs type thing only called MTV nerds. The "forthcoming Star Wars DVD releases" bit is interesting.

Clone Wars 3-D is something I'm looking forward to. Clone Wars 3-D would most likely use Revenge of the Sith style i.e. character appearance, ships, clonetroopers, etc. Just think Aayla Secura and Grievous ride again.

My money's on O-OT DVDs, but I'm probably wrong.

Surely there's a few full-Saga boxed sets on the release slate?

[Topeka]

All that stuff still doesn't give me incentive to renew my HS subscription. Any info on dvds and the tv show is going to pop up elsewhere anyways...

Yeah, has anyone heard the latest on this? I see they're (in New Zealand anyways) pouring out old release versions of Episode I, which I aint buying until they've fixed up Yoda...

You may see repackaging of current discs into a six-movie set, but it's unlikely there will be any new "special editions" until either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray takes hold of consumers. With the majority of televisions becoming HD-cpapable within the very near future, I can't see Lucas wanting to even begin a "definitive" set until he can present it in the absolute best format available.

Recall that Lucas didn't want to release any DVDs until all three prequel movies were released. There was bitching about South East ASIA was getting Episode I VCDs while everyone else were stuck with VHS tapes. Finally Lucas gave in because of "piracy".

I'm starting to getting stoked for Clone Wars 3-D. It will be almost like Revenge of the Sith - The Television Series, I suspect. Perhaps we will see all the cut Clone Wars montage planets in more detail. Perhaps even Master Vos.
