Wondering if the recent Disney-Fox merger will pave the way for this? Check out this thorough article on Ars Technica: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/11/ ... s-we-want/The major sticking point, according to the article, is that Fox owned the distribution rights to Episodes I-VI. With the merger, that may no longer be an issue. Quote: "Fox owns distribution rights to the original Star Wars, No. 4 in the series, in perpetuity in all media worldwide. And as for the five subsequent movies, Fox has theatrical, nontheatrical, and home video rights worldwide through May 2020."

Nothing after season 3 to this day sadly. Absurd. They made that entire lame movie and lame TV series since then and nobody wanted or asked for either.

I was thinking of buying the German box sets since they're uncut, but they haven't even released the whole series? That's lame - like Disney not releasing all those afternoon cartoons in complete form either. The original Ducktales' second season is nowhere to be seen and I'm pretty sure there's a big chunk of episodes from Gummi Bears, Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck MIA too.

So yesterday I dropped off my recently purchased CLD-3030 to my repair guy (that's another thread) I had the rest of the day free so I spent it hunting down all of the 2nd hand stores I could find to see if I could locate any players or discs out there. (found 7 or 8 players total. Nothing very good. No discs!)
...but I did have a secondary goal...
I have several versions of Star wars on LD, but not a single DVD or BR. With used BRs now $2-$4 & DVDs $1-$2 & the shelves bulging with them I though now might be a good time to fill in the my collection. I knew I'd run across thousands by the end of the day, so thought this might be an easy task.
WOW! I WAS WRONG!
Amazing how people are holding on to everything from that franchise! I had only found 1 ROTJ DVD (in a very unlikely Pawn Shop in a box under a box on a bottom shelf) by that time I was running out of time & at my very last location, ...an indoor flea market with dozens of rented booths/areas. Many if not most booths had some discs. I was down to my last booth, which had 1 single small row of discs. ...so, to this point after scanning thousands of discs I came to the absolute final inch of that row of discs. ...I mean... the very last 1" in that last location, the last booth, the last row, the last couple minutes I had...
YAHTZEE!!!
Episodes IV, V, & VI BR + DVD set. Looking Mint $15. (less 10% "sale" going on) So it's Remav with the win!
Now at least I can see what everyone is complaining about. LOL. (Oh, that & I have an extra Jedi DVD for sale if anybody wants)

It was Disney's first foray into the afternoon television animation market, followed by all the others after it proved successful. Plus I think it was the only one that was not based on a pre-existing property. Besides, I'd rather have that than something like, I dunno, the Hercules animated series or any of the other spinoff ones, none of which I thought were particularly good, except maybe the Aladdin one.
