R2-D2: Beneath the Dome on DVD (merged)

**Pendo** · 10-11-2002

TheForce.net have rumblings of R2-D2: Beneath the Dome coming to DVD this December as an exclusive DVD! I hope it is true, but it won't be available in the UK

. And with language like "Out of my way you Scottish wanker" it's bound to either get cut out or become a 15 rating. I just hope it is released in the UK and not just the States

I'm sure that if it's exclusive to the states, that someone here would be willing to pick them up for our Star Wars fans across the water. I hope it is released, because it sucked it wasn't included on the E2 DVD. They should include the E1 and E2 commercials that wouldn't fit on the individual DVD's also.

BTW, for those that don't want to wait for TheForce.Net to load here's the news story. I wish they would get that site on a speedier server.

R2-D2: Beneath the Dome to DVD
Fri, Oct 11, 02 09:51:43 AM EDT

We're hearing some rumblings from the Suncoast Store here in the States about the possiblity of an exclusive DVD arriving soon:
There was a conference in Las Vegas, and I just heard about a little secret. The reps have just made a deal with Lucasfilm to have an EXCLUSIVE R2-D2: Beneath the Dome DVD availiable in our stores (I think the street date is 12/26). I'm not sure if this would be a Suncoast exclusive or a Best Buy Enterprise Exclusive, but I will get you more info on that when I have it. This will be the entire starwars.com web series. When I have more info on SRP and specs, I'll email you.

Awesome - on the Episode II DVD you can watch the hilarious 6 minute trailer as well!

What's the rating on this?

**El Chuxter** · 10-11-2002

I'm taking this with a grain of salt for the moment, but both theforce.net and thedigitalbits.com are reporting that Suncoast has worked out some sort of deal with Lucas to release Beneath the Dome as a Suncoast exclusive on December 26. No one knows yet it this will be at the other stores owned by the same company (Sam Goody, Musicland, Best Buy, and Media Play) or not.

Like I said, pending official word on this, I'm inclined to not believe it, but thedigitalbits says it's confirmed as of 1:30 PM PST. Were the article only on theforce.net, I'd just completely blow it off, but thedigitalbits normally is pretty reliable.

Just a quick heads up, y'all.

May want to read down a couple posts, already being discussed in the following thread. http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums...threadid=15154 Though the news of TheDigitalBits confirming the news makes this 100% more plausible then TheForce.Net. TDB usually is very accurate with their news.

By the way, for those of you that don't like going to links to read the news, here is what the two posts over at the Digital Bits have to say.

Yeah, you read that right. We've been getting e-mails all morning from employees of Suncoast stores. Apparently, they've made some kind of deal with Lucasfilm to have an exclusive DVD available only at Suncoast stores (and possibly Musicland Group stores as well): the complete R2-D2: Beneath the Dome "mocumentary" (the trailer for which is on the Episode II DVD). Word is the disc will be available on 12/26. Consider this a rumor until we can confirm it. Is anyone else getting sick and tired of these exclusives?

(LATE UPDATE - 10/11/02 - 1:30 PM PDT)

One quick note - we've confirmed the Suncoast R2-D2: Beneath the Dome DVD exclusive. It is happening, and may also be available at all Musicland Group stores (which include Musicland, Media Play, Suncoast and Sam Goody) as well as Best Buy (which owns the Musicland Group). We'll let you know when we have exact street date and price info.

Any speculation on SRP ?

It can't have that long of a running time, right?
Hopefully it's around 10 or 15 bones . . .

**Beast** · 10-12-2002

It's around 20 minutes or so, if I recall correctly Caesar. I'm sure that it will have some extra features on there. Maybe an Audio Commentary, some trailers. I really would like to see the commercials for E1 and E2 that are missing from the DVD's. Around $10-$15 sounds about right.
