According to MTV through IMDB News, it looks like we can look forward to a totally coincidental release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith in time for Christmas.
That’s not really the good news though, there will be scenes added in that are currently sitting on the cutting room floor, and scenes not of more effects or battles, but of plot development.
George Lucas has indicated that he expects the Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith DVD to be released at Christmas time this year. Lucas made the comment in an interview with MTV.com, which reported that the DVD will offer five or six deleted scenes. Rick McCallum, a producer of the three sequels, told the website: “They were great scenes, but they just had nothing to do with getting straight and cutting to the chase of the story. They were more plot-orientated and more setting up of Coruscant, more setting up of the war and kind of understanding where all the politics were.”
Not having seen the movie yet, and having to wait desperately for my far flung corner of the worlds press screening on Friday morning (Yeah! Press screening! Thanks Craig at Vue!) I can’t really say if this kind of addition would help the story, but for those of you who have (John, thanks for not rubbing things in too much) is plot and story exposition likely to help raise that mark?
