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.
