I can imagine the press release...
George Lucas the MCXXXVIII (1138) has announced that he and 1900th Century Fox will be releasing the original 20th century classics, "Star Wars", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi" to ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-DVD (Alphabet-DVD), just in time for the Non-Demoninational Holiday Season. The films as they had been seen in 1977, 1980, and 1983 have been out of print since 1995, never again to see the light of day until now, more than 18000 years since its original release.
"It's time we pulled these babies out of the vault," Lucas MCXXXVIII said. "When George the First originally released them back in 1977, 1980, and 1983, he knew the pictures weren't complete. And even by 2004, it still was not whole."
And whole it wasn't, until 2043, when George Lucas put the finishing touches on what he called his "Ultimate Vision" of Star Wars. Included now was every deleted bit of footage taken for all the films, re-edited completely and digitally enhanced with CGI 5.43, a new interactive program Lucas created that allowed the viewer to live in the fictional universe for the duration of the movie, which had gone from one two-hour film in 1977 to a trilogy by 1983, then a sextology in 2005, a nine-movie series in 2014, and finally a 15-movie series in 2026. But the "Ultimate Vision" Lucas finished in 2043 was a whopping forty-day movie, essentially showing 400 years in the Star Wars universe. Quite a task for anyone to watch. The Ultimate Vision of Star Wars has since been the only version available of the films, despite mass bootlegging by people cutting up the film into its fifteen original movies and selling them for a mere $1000 a pop on the streets.
The new Limited Edition Alphabet-DVD will feature the original cuts of the first three movies. Lucas the MCXXXVIII has said that he plans on releasing original cuts of the other twelve movies throughout the next year. Bonus features will include the original audio commentaries from its 2004 DVD release, a four-day documentary, "The Original Trilogy: How It Influenced the World We Know Today", and interviews with original castmembers Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Anthony Daniels, who were brought out of their cryogenic stasis a year ago, and are now residing in several 25-year old rental bodies.
"I'm so glad we can release these films," Lucas the MCXXXVIII stated. "After the Ultimate Vision and the TV Shows and the cartoons and the stage musical, and the Moon Shadow Puppets Series, it's nice to know there's still a demand for such classic gems..."
The Limited Edition is set for December 6, 2006 with an SRP of $49,99.95
