I don't know if there is a special edition of The Phantom Menace planned.

Thankyou gerry. Am I right in thinking the movie made in 1976 was called star wars but was in fact episode 4...then they went 5 and 6, then 1, 2 and 3??  Sorry, am a total star wars buffoon.  Also, what are the going rates on these DVDs please???  Thanks again.
