"Star Wars" fans worldwide are rejoicing this week -- finally the original, unedited, uncleaned-up cuts of the first three (or second three depending on how you look at it... first three to be released in the theaters second three in the sequence... episodes IV, V and VI) "Star Wars" movies have been released on DVD. You may remember they came out as a huge Laser Disc box set years ago but short of buying bootlegs duped off those lasers there has been no way to watch them for years. In any case, the wait is over! Counting VHS, Laser, DVD and various other random formats releases I think the original Star Wars trilogy wins the prize for most versions available -- does anyone out there own them all? Maybe we could do a "Display Case o' Fun" of Star Wars releases.

Also this week, my favorite TV show of the year "Hustle: Season One" has been released. We also have season two on PAL and should be getting a PAL season three soon. The second box of A&E stuff came in today -- too late to make this update. I'll get 'em listed up by next week's mailing.

Finally, you'll see some new folks behind the counter at Renter the next time you stop by. Please welcome Alex, Matt, Mattie and Nikki to the family.

Have a great week...

Geoff (and all the other Rentertarians)
