Star Wars Episode II will be coming out on DVD on November 12.
It will have a similar set of extra features as the Episode I DVD, with quite a few documentaries, featurettes, the "Across the Stars" music video, galleries and the usual set of trailers/TV spots.
A rather curious/annoying decision is to release it in both widescreen (the original and the best) and fullscreen (hacked up version of widescreen) versions.
I don't remember Episode I coming in a fullscreen version, and since George Lucas is supposed to be very sensitive about how a movie is presented in theatres (eg. must be presented in the best sound system, THX and all that), I don't know what happened this time.
And what if I want to complete my Star Wars DVD collection entirely in fullscreen - will Episode I, III to VI be released in fullscreen version as well?
Seems like someone in marketing thought this would be a good idea - just like releasing the Australian R4 version of Harry Potter in fullscreen version only
