There's a trailer on the official May the 4th website or this ComingSoon.net webpage (among probably a million other places). That official website has some sort of "new technology" which will allow it to release more images as more people "share" the link, which may well be where the official Facebook page comes in.

Some people are as usual already complaining about the lack of the original Original Trilogy, but it's that horrible artwork that worries me ... hopefully it looks better when seen in-person, but at the moment I prefer the current DVD packaging. :(

I'm not too worried about the packaging....at best I'll be looking at the spine of the package most of the time anyway. I'm just hoping the deleted scenes actually include a lot of good stuff from the OT, like Tosche Station, or the Wampa room, or Royal Guards not permitting Jerjerod to enter the Emperor's Tower. One can only hope.:unsure:

Is George Lucas is being outdone by Peter Jackson?!? :eek:
  • Star Wars SE Saga Blu-ray: 6 movies, 9 discs, September release
  • Lord of the Rings Extended Trilogy Blu-ray: 3 movies, 15 discs, June release

I saw that. I'm wondering how the heck they can actually get 15 discs out of that. The dvd versions had 2 discs per movie....so if blu-ray follows suit, that is a minimum of 6 discs just for the movies. I wondering how much actual new stuff there will be. I love LOTR, but even I haven't watched the hours and hours of behind the scenes stuff.
