According to John Singh, spokesperson for Lucasfilm Ltd., "Lucasfilm Ltd. has no plans to release any of the Star Wars movies on Blu-ray or HD DVD. Listings on Amazon.com or any other Web site are purely speculative and erroneous."
Amazon.com also has a speculative listing for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy on HD DVD. New Line Cinema hasn't discussed its plans for Lord of the Rings, beyond hinting at CES that the trilogy is in the works. New Line's parent company is Time Warner, also parent company of Warner Brothers. Warner supports both Blu-ray and HD DVD.
Amazon.com declined to comment on how the shopping site generates such information.

'The economy is in shambles and these companies are still talking about sustaining growth instead of sustaining their business.'
They should just make games. That sounds crazy, I know, but, hear me out.
No need for dev-times to.take 3+ years. Just stick to formula. Not every game needs to be bigger & better than everything else. Not every game needs to be GaaS. Not every game needs to completely re-invent the wheel.
They KNOW how to make a cool Splinter Cell game; Interesting story, 8-10 levels, just go and make it. Give the people want they know, want and love. It doesn't need to be a shared online experience. It doesn't need to be an epic big open world. It doesn't need celebrity voice-acting. Just make a cool new SC game, and the fans will be happy and pick it up. Easy. Done. Next one.
Same for Prince of Persia, Watch-Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Trials, Rayman, Brothers in Arms, etc.
The State of the Game Industry reports US-based tariffs are impacting 38 percent of business leaders in the game industry, affecting financial decisions.
these could be what decides the war
There isn't a clear winner yet in the HD DVD and Blu-Ray war, it's still neck and neck.
Star wars and lord of the rings are all huge movie series that people will pay more than average for a better version of (I own all the EE vesions of LotR). If they go exclusive they may sway quite a few people.
I personly want to get the Hd DVD drive for 360 but theres no must get movie, If SW or LotR go to HD DVD only I will get one, I dont care if they do abbandon it the week after Id be happy with just those films.
i am sure lucas will come out with a anniversary edition on DVD end of the month. I don't think he will release a blu ray or hd-dvd of star wars. The base of this new formats is still to small.
