Coming soon to a DVD player near you: Revenge of the Sith is to be released on DVD on November 1:
"The Force will return to retail stores Nov. 1 with a double whammy: Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith will be released on DVD, and Star Wars Battlefront II will be made available for all the top video game platforms.
Sith is the year’s top-grossing movie, with domestic box office earnings of $373.9 million (and an additional $425 million overseas). The two-disc set will include a full-length documentary; two new featurettes, one exploring the prophecy of Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One and the other on the movie’s stunts; and a 15-part collection of ‘Web documentaries.’"
Practice your Jedi mind tricks now so that you can convince the Star Wars fanatic in your life that he does not want the new DVD until Christmas Day. If that doesn’t work, take heart. There’s sure to be a jumbo-deluxe, extended-edition, collector’s set of all of the Star Wars movies Any Day Now.
Already? First-run movies usually take longer than that to go to DVD, don’t they?
Sad to say this, but I really couldn’t care less about Revenge of the Sith. It was a huge letdown, though definitely much better than its predecessors, even if that isn’t saying much…

Prolly, Michelle! What I think would be fun is if George would allow access of all prequel footage to various directors & editors so they could re-cut his fimls & see what happens. That would be a hoot!

Probably concerns about pirate copies has closed the gap a bit between a movie showing at the theatre and being released on DVD. They don’t want impatient people who can’t wait to own it on DVD getting pirate copies.

The Phantom Menace with Jar-Jar edited out… a man can dream.
On second thought, it would still be bad. But it would at least be watchable.
Sorry, Revenge of the Sith only gave me an overwhelming urge to go and write my own version of Vader’s history. Just for me. I have no idea what shape it would take, but I feel strongly that my fourth grade daughter could come up with something less ham-fisted.
Vader deserves better.
Are my husband and I the only ones around here who *loved* ROTS? We left the theatre feeling dazed and wow-ed. I’d even almost tripped over my own shoes exiting the theatre. I disliked the two preceding prequels, but felt that ROTS made up for them in spades! We both cannot wait for the DVD.
Nope, Lurker. I loved it myself.
Maybe it was a mistake to go see it with my brother. All I know is, when Vader let out with that “N-O-O-O-O!!” toward the end, we both had to fight hard to supress a fit of giggling.
For a week after that, every time I spilled a soda or something, I would holler “N-O-O-O..!!!” in the best James Earl Jones voice I could muster.
Annalucia,
The previous Star Wars movie, three years ago, came out on DVD in about the same amount of time – theatrical release in May, DVD in November. That summer’s biggest hit, Spider-Man, did the same. So quick theater-to-DVD transitions are not new.
