But even more exciting (or depressing) information that came out of
the convention were the copies of the Star Wars Trilogy DVD
Collection (due September 21st, as if you weren't aware) that were
making their way around the convention to those in the know, with
connections, or sticky fingers. So for those fearing (or hoping)
that Lucas would again make extensive changes to the classic first
three movies in the saga, you will get your wish. Everything from
less readily apparent changes - sound effects to the color of a
lightsaber - to more substantive additions, including Ian McDiarmid
(the evil Emperor) replacing Clive Revill in The Empire Strikes
Back, to Anakin Hayden Christensen's face (badly) added to the body
of Sebastian Shaw at the end of Return of the Jedi, or a chorus of
cheering Gungians (or whatever those Jar Jar things are called) also
tacked on to the finale of Jedi, will be found in the new DVDs.
Sigh...but find out for yourself when the set reaches a galaxy near
you this fall.
