I'm betting it's star wars coming out on blu-ray. It makes sense, right? Hmm, sounds interesting.

They already announced that Star Wars was coming out on Blu-Ray.. I'm thinking it's the package..or more details about the movies and extras.

...maybe it's the option to pre-order? Or is that already available with Amazon?

No you were able to pre-order the moment they announced it a few months back.. which I did :)

[Meds]

Yeah the release date was september 12th, Hmmmm

[ori-STUDFARM]

Got to be the first images of the cover then....or maybe some redone visual effects....or the 3D idea has been dropped and the cinematic screenings are going to be some sort of higher def original screen version released worldwide. Thats what i want the most...

Hah! Good one!

Today is actually the darkside day named so because of The Vader's Fist....I'm talking about the 501st.... (Todays date being 05.01)

I'm leaning towards packaging and extra's.

Nope. You're all wrong. I know what this is about. Jar-Jar Binks is getting his very own Blu Ray release. George Lucas has decided to do another trilogy dedicated to Jar-Jar starting with his birth, ending with his influential role in the Jedi Counsel (as yet to be seen story). Lucas decided that since Jar-Jar is such a beloved character, and one of the most popular Star Wars characters ever, fans deserved to have this intimate look into his history.

"Jar-Jar the Jedi, an epic tale of...", OK, the creative juices have just dried up. :D

[Bromptonboy]

Sweating to the Oldies with Jar-Jar.  Maybe Jar-Jar is joining the cast of Jersey Shore.

So what is it? I can't get anything to open here at work on that link..
