SL> Here's a question... will the Special Edition be on tape, or just the

Write your reply.

assistant: The release date for the Special Edition trilogy on VHS is August 26th
 (that's THIS August 26th for those that are really out of the loop). You
 can pre-order copies at Suncoast, Sam Goody, Musicland, Media Play and
 maybe other places. The mentioned places usually ask for $5 down to reserve
 copies of the trilogy. The tapes are THX tranfers, and they'll be available
 individually, or in a 3-pack with special "Vader Helmet" packaging (don't
 ask me). The letterboxed (widescreen) version of the 3-pack is $39.99 while
 the regular version is $29.99.
     Also, the tapes will only be manufactured for (I believe) about 2-3
 months. I'm not too sure on that time frame, but it is quite limited like
 that..
     There's no date yet for the laserdisc or DVD versions.

that's the last time it would be released (last form I guess is what they

either, so you never know.
