Empire Online spoke with Rick McCallum about the Star Wars DVDs:
"Three years is a long time, but that?s how long it takes," he said of the delayed transition. But what, you may ask, is taking up the time exactly? Well, never one to do things half-heartedly, Lucas isn?t happy with a DVD of the original edits, nor, it would seem, of the enhanced Special Editions. Having previously confessed to shooting a number of additional scenes for the original trilogy while filming Episode II and with many more to be lensed during the third prequel?s production, George has made it his mission to complete the story once and for all. And so, we asked, will this spanking new footage make its debut on the DVD releases when they finally arrive? "Absolutely," confided McCallum with a conspiratorial grin.
As for the slightly more imminent Attack of The Clones DVD, McCallum confirmed that he?s currently persuading Lucas to provide a commentary track. But can we expect much of the four hours of footage that comprised the uncut film to crop up as a special Director?s Cut? "Oh you?re definitely going to get it all," assured McCallum. "With George? he?ll keep on changing the film till the day he dies."
