New Look for 2006
Packaging |
Looking beyond this year's
explosive release of Episode III, which caused flecks of molten lava to adorn
Star Wars collectibles of all types, Lucas Licensing recently unveiled
the new product look for Star Wars goods in 2006.
The new design builds on familiar elements from the '05
collection, such as the prominence of Darth Vader -- the character whose
redemption is now clearly at the heart of the saga. Gone is the lava and orange
hue, replaced with a more timeless silver lettering and planetary view.
Click here to see the new packaging style at the Official
Site. |

EPIII: ROTS To Be
Released Only On DVD |
From Videobusiness.com:
20th Century Fox and LucasFilm will release Star Wars: Episode
III—Revenge of the Sith, expected to be one of the season’s top sellers, on DVD
only. Star Wars will be the first major new release to skip VHS, some say a move
that is unsurprising because of its heavy DVD audience.
Distribution sources said recent Star Wars releases have seen
heavy VHS returns from retailers unable to sell off the tapes. LucasFilm and Fox
declined to comment other than to confirm that there would be no VHS version.
Head over to VideoBusiness for the full story. Thanks to TF.N for this news. |
