: Rapid fire scripting/shooting process going on right now. There's a full blown explanation at starwars.com about it.
: On a similar note, Indiana Jones is coming on DVD soon, too.

I'm sorry; let me get this straight: So now, all of a sudden, the good people at LucasLand have moral qualms about releasing multiple versions of the same movie on the same format? Excuse me for a second, my three copies of the "Star Wars" video (original release, THX remastered release, and Special Edition release) are blocking my view of the screen.
And the notion that every single Lucas employee is SO BUSY working on Episode II that they're just plain unable to make a transfer of the flick is just stupid. I'm sure Lucas wants to make a super-duper edition of the DVD a few years down the road, but hell, man - the people just want a bare-bones edition to keep them happy for a few years. Get one of your low-level flunkies to do it, George. You can then fully devote yourself to writing another lackluster prequel. Don't forget to write some more fart jokes! Kids love those.
