Why was the original clone wars series taken off the lucasfilm website/not being produced for sale ?

Why would Lucas want the Gendy tarakosky series taken off the website and no new copies being released. (I have both of them) This is cannon so shouldn't it be available for purchase? there has to be a GOOD reason for lucas to do this. Lucas hasn't given such good reasons for things before. It doesn't make sense that the first clone wars series which was so critically acclaimed (I think it also won a few awards) cease production all together. Can some one enlighten me as to what happened and why, I think the fans should start a petition to have the first two clone wars (Gendy's series) volumes put back into production for other fans to enjoy.

 

dvd's are alot like books sometimes they go out of print. There are probably enough copies out there that you could find a place selling them even if they are not making any more copies.

 

Yeah, this is not really an uncommon practice for LFL at all. They tend to always do limited time releases of their DVDs/videos, always have. That way they can be released years later again and get a big push.

 

That's what I figured, too. There's a lot of Star Wars-related DVDs that aren't in print anymore, the only reason there was the surge a couple years ago was probably thanks to RotS (which you can say about a lot of franchise movies that come out).
