Star Wars DVD Sets of Tomorrow by Lore Sjöberg (which may be the coolest name ever) is a new article at Wired.
Lore offers some thoughts on possible additional boxed Star Wars DVD sets, including:
The Just-Better-Effects Edition
This edition redoes all the special effects — every single one throughout the entire series, using the best technology available, applied by the guys who did the Lord of the Rings movies. Nothing else is touched. No dialogue is changed, no scenes are added, no new characters are included. Can you imagine how much Star Wars fanatics will love this one? They’ll be standing in line outside every place in town that sells DVDs, dressed in Jedi robes and elaborate rancor costumes. What a bunch of hard-core geeks. I’d better preorder my copy now.
I’d order one, but online. It was bad enough that I had to stand in the ticket line with those people when the movies came out.
I still wouldn’t be surprised if George Lucas released an official DVD of The Phantom Edit as I suggested earlier.
Lore also hit the nail on the head with this comment:
The best part is that the original-release DVDs include the special-edition DVDs as well. So people who bought the special edition when they really wanted the original version will have to buy the special edition again, and people who didn’t buy the special edition because they only care about the original version will have to pay more to get the special edition anyway! Yes! Use your aggressive feelings! Let the hate flow through you!
