The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

Love this somebody left.

" Why does amazon allow reviews of items BEFORE they are even out. How the heck can you review a unicorn... you can't it doesn't exist. "

I don't own any on dvd so I'll be ordering the full saga eventually.

 

[Natrix]

"No. No. That's not true. That's impossible!"

Oh it's true!

I had to dig to find it but from a 2004 interview:

AP: Why not release both the originals and special editions on DVD?

Lucas: The special edition, that’s the one I wanted out there. The other movie, it’s on VHS, if anybody wants it. ... I’m not going to spend the, we’re talking millions of dollars here, the money and the time to refurbish that, because to me, it doesn’t really exist anymore. It’s like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I’m sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be. I’m the one who has to take responsibility for it. I’m the one who has to have everybody throw rocks at me all the time, so at least if they’re going to throw rocks at me, they’re going to throw rocks at me for something I love rather than something I think is not very good, or at least something I think is not finished

Pretty bs answer... its not like the HD quality (or even at least anamorphic) copies of the unaltered trilogy wouldn't sell like gangbusters.

Die hard buy because they want it, completists buy because they buy everything.

 

[Darth Waller]

Didn't he spend time and money cleaning the prints of the original versions to make the SE?

 

[galactiboy]

Guess not Although I still believe they are sitting around just waiting to be released and then we can all love George again.

I honestly don't give a ____ what he does to the movies, as long as he allows me to own and watch the "half completed" films.

Maybe when he dies, his kids will come out and release it.

 

[galactiboy]

I was actually thinking today that maybe our only hope is if one of his own children is stupid enough to like the unaltered trilogy.

"Help us Jeff Lucas, you're our only hope."

After looking at their picture, I firmly believe we are all ____ed.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I'd say we are firmly boned here

 

[The Ween]

I placed my order for the complete Saga. Anyone that doesn't = FAIL.

I won't order it until there's more out about it AND.......see if anyone has special editons or cool freebies with it.

 

[UTtoyfan]

I hope Fox releases coupons for the Star Wars movies, like they did with the Alien Anthology!

 

[The Ween]

After looking at their picture, I firmly believe we are all ____ed.

If those are his kids, either they are from 3 different mothers or he had some help.

 

[Darth Waller]

All adopted.

 

[galactiboy]

Now The Ween looks like a mean and insensitive person

 

[The Ween]

All adopted.

That explains it then.

Now The Ween looks like a mean and insensitive person

Not really. I'm sensitive to the fact that those kids don't look anything alike.

And he's the meanie who wants to ruin Yoda

 

[DiFabio]

After looking at their picture, I firmly believe we are all ____ed.

Didn't they make action figures of those people?

 

[Darth Waller]

Didn't they make action figures of those people?

Yes, they did.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

And sadly I have that set.

 

[The Ringer]

After looking at their picture, I firmly believe we are all ____ed.

That would make a hell of a Christmas card.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

That would make a hell of a Nightmare before Christmas card.
