The Star Wars Trilogy on DVD September 21 Source: Fox Home
Entertainment

All of the unforgettable heroism, villainy and epic adventure of
George Lucas's Star Wars trilogy comes to the ultimate home-
entertainment format for the very first time around the world this
September from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home
Entertainment, ending the wait for the most-anticipated DVD release
ever. The four-disc collection will be released on Sept. 21 in the
U.S. and Canada, with international release dates following closely.

"We know how long fans have waited for this release and how much they
have been looking forward to it, so everyone has been working
overtime to make sure that the 'Star Wars Trilogy' on DVD is an
awesome experience," said Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing and
Distribution for Lucasfilm Ltd. and the DVD collection's Executive
Producer.

The Star Wars Trilogy tops the list of "cinephiles' most-requested
titles never released on the format," according to a May 2003 E!
Online report. Further, the three Star Wars Trilogy films -- Star
Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of
the Jedi -- also hold the top three spots on Amazon.com's "most-
requested DVDs" list.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes
Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi will be available in a four-
disc set that includes a bonus disc filled with all-new special
features -- including the most comprehensive feature-length
documentary ever produced about the Star Wars saga and never-before-
seen footage from the making of all three films. Each of the three
films in the Star Wars Trilogy has been digitally restored and re-
mastered by THX for superior sound and picture quality.

"First and foremost, the DVDs will deliver the very best possible
sound and picture and take advantage of everything the medium can
offer. On top of that, we are creating added-value material that gets
inside the creation of the Star Wars films in a fresh and fun way,"
Ward said. "We want watching this DVD collection to be as memorable
as seeing the movies for the first time."

The films of the Star Wars Trilogy will be available exclusively as a
collection and will feature Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX. All three
films are closed-captioned and subtitled in English, French and
Spanish in the U.S. Internationally, sound and subtitling
specifications will vary by territory.
