Possible Star Wars Trilogy DVD Packaging!

[davepeck]

A company known as the Neuron Syndicate recently posted the artwork for the Star Wars Trilogy which stars Harrison Ford as the legendary Han Solo. The company is in charge of producing the packaging for the four-disc set, so this looks pretty official. Although the images were only up on the company website for a short period of time, a few of our readers kindly emailed them over to us. There are three different package designs in total. A Imperial Collection, a Final Conflict set (with good old Darth himself) and the rather ugly Jedi vs Dark Side set. Whether or not all three of these designs will be available in September is still unclear. Naturally, we\'ll bring you confirmation on this as soon as we get it. Stay tuned.

I have such vague recollections of the commercial. I can\'t wait to see it again. The foreign artwork is amazing.
