The Star [Wars] Treatment

Time: "On Sept. 21, Lucasfilm Ltd. will release the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD — unquestionably the most eagerly anticipated debut in the dominant home-movie format. (Last weekend, more than two weeks before it could be shipped, the box set was No. 1 in Amazon.com DVD sales.) The films — Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi — will look sharper than ever. They will be adorned with many beguiling extras, such as an interactive video game, Battlefront, the making-of documentary and a peek at next year's completion of the saga, Revenge of the Sith — which, whatever you've heard, will be the series' final chapter ... The DVDs have even newer shots [than 1997's Special Edition versions] that tie elements of Lucas' first trilogy and his more recent one — you may be able to spot a cameo by a current star who was in diapers when Jedi was made — to make the grand story line flow more coherently.

LAY, LADY LEIA: Fisher, left, and her stunt double take a sand-dune sunbath aboard a space vehicle during a break on the Yuma, Ariz., location for Return of the Jedi in 1982."

Oh my.
