The last films in the top 200 grossers are finally coming to DVD. Lucasfilm has announced that the original Star Wars <\/i>triology<\/a> will be released in September. Previously, Lucas had said they would not come out until after Episode 3 hits theaters in 5\/2005.<\/p>\n

Of course, I’m sure <\/i>if there’s a clamor, Lucas will reluctantly<\/i> (but profitably) release the “classic” trilogy on DVD — a year or two later. For another fifty smackers, natch.<\/p>\n
