Not available. I have a friend that has a Star Wars DVD that was brought in from Asia (somewhere) but the quality is worse than my VHS tapes.
If you go to DVD Empire you will find a forum that discusses when certain DVDs are going to be released and what not.
From what I understand, THE STAR WARS TRILOGY (caps out of respect for best trilogy ever) and the last one to come out are not expected anytime in the near future. :(

Most of the movies I've seen from Asia are the VCD format, and they look worse than a VHS tape

To kamiam
I think that it was Spielberg that decided not to release the movies. I think this because many of his movies are failing to make it to DVD. (ET, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Close Encounters of the Third Kind<edit> was just released last week </edit>, Jurassic Park set)
But that is neither here nor there, the major point is that someone is preventing the release of these movies and it is making me very upset.:disgust:

word was a while ago that lucas will NOT release them until ALL SIX episodes are out...he wants the dvd set to be comprehensive and THE PINNACLE of dvd excellence.

i say, it's BS! he could DOUBLE his fortune by putting the original trilogy on dvd, he could charge whatever he wanted and people would EAT it up!

oh well

I've seen the Oct. 16th rumor at DVD talk. For me, I have no desire to own ANY episode until they release the Directors Cut or something with lots of EXTRAS!

If you actually go to the star wars site, it explains it in the faq why they're not releasing it on DVD.
