Does anybody know how I can get my hands on the posters? I really am looking to get the Chewbacca one. Should I contact Spike, NJ Transit, etc?

Thanks

@man

This will not be the edited down version of the films, though yes they will have commercials. There will be pristine transfers of the movie, LucasFilm is very anal about that and has been checking up Spike’s edits to make sure they meet their approval.

They will also be in HD at some point as well…

Lets not forget that many people will flip and see the movies on and start watching, but they may not have had the desire to pop-in the DVD

Because people are lazy, and will watch something like this rather than channel surf for Ronco infomercials.

Why do they think people will be interested in watching this edited down with commercial breaks when most people own the dvd and could just pop that in and watch it with a good transfer?
