SCOOP: STAR WARS DVDs not to arrive just yet

We've heard it from a friend that all the hubbub created by the clandestine Lucasfilm licensing meeting scheduled for next month isn't concerning the classic STAR WARS films coming on DVD. Instead, our source tells us that Lucasfilm's big pow-wow is to make battle plans for the onslaught of EPISODE III promotion.
Here's what our Bothan spy told us last evening:
"The speculation regarding the plaque given out as a premise for a release of the Star Wars DVDs is FALSE. Lucasfilm is going to announce the marketing campaign for EPISODE III way in advance of the film's release to achieve maximum marketability. They're gathering big names for their marketing promotions, contests, tie-ins and Happy Meals so they're getting together for a meeting to showcase the final Star Wars movie in just a few short weeks and where it will feature in the marketing for the film.
"Again this is NOT about any release of the Special Edition DVDs. This should lay this rumor to rest."
[From a secret clandestine operative of the Banking Clan.]
Well, it probably won't end the speculation just yet, but it's always fun to report the news first. Lucasfilm won't say boo about what the meeting is about in advance, so we're left to wait and wonder just like you.
