Imperial Edition
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning: Imperial Edition was released on December 13, 2006. Unlike the original version, this special edition is available on DVD only, and is distributed by Universal Pictures Nordic. The original version remains available for download.
In the Imperial Edition, the only major change to the movie itself is that the special effects have been redone and ship models are entirely new. The 2 DVD release also has a number of documentaries and a commentary track. The primary motivation for this release was the production crew's desire to use their own ship designs in the movie, and also to get additional funding for their next movie, Iron Sky (Rautataivas).
The Imperial Edition received North American DVD release in 2009, only as a single-DVD set though all special features of the Finnish release were retained. For this release, the box title of the film was shortened to Star Wreck and the box art shows Torssonen wearing a Starfleet uniform complete with a normal Star Trek-style insignia.

Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or edition:
“If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
