I just want to see screen caps from A New Hope to see if the image throughout the film has crushed blacks or not!

sorry to say it's Bill Hunt..but the Digitalbits.com has some interesting info today

Any of those would have made great choices, although I'm partial to A. I like B and F too.

'E' sounds pretty cool and would definitely make the set a must-buy, but they may have to change the ratings for that one. ;)

Same here.

But very shorty they should start flooding in from all over(specially at AVS) and we will have more that enough to go through.




Can't hardly wait! :hyper:

What's the difference?
 

Sorry if this was someone else in the thread but I couldn't find it if so. With the price difference, what is the advantage of buying the complete saga over buy the two trilogies separately?

Separate trilogies - 3 discs each
Saga - 9 discs

You miss out on 3 discs of special features.

Yea, and early reports are that the deleted scenes are worth getting the whole saga for.

I can't wait for those! Thirty years of waiting to see them for a lot of people. I'm lucky to be young; I didn't have to wait so long! lol

Has this Star Wars box set been reviewed yet?? Are there any screen caps to look at yet? I want to read a review before I pick up the complete box set

No. I think it's going to be a few weeks before you see any reviews on it.

Not yet and most likely not for another couple of weeks.

Thanks for letting me know. I am looking forward to reading the review of these films.

There are 1080p screens from the Prequel Trilogy here, seems to have gone unnoticed (posted some pages back)

not psyched about watching Star Warriors
 

Agreed. I have a small shelf here of SW fan-focused documentaries. None of them is really worth a second viewing for me. Fan's are fine. I'm a huge fan of several things other than SW, but I'm just not interesting enough for me to watch myself in a documentary, and neither are they! I've had my years of Trekkies docs and the like and I would have preferred more substance from an official release. Leave the fan documentaries to the indie film makers. How about including that interview between Lucas and Charlie Rose, or Lucas and Bill Moyers? Now those would be bonus features I would watch many times over. Too bad.

The first one is terribly compressed, the second looks much better.

Is Ewan wearing a glove in the second pic? lol, never noticed that before

Sweet

Agreed. I'm sorry. I love documentaries made by fans, such as the various docs for Halloween, Nightmare on Elm St., and American Werewolf in London released over the past few years. There's one for Jaws too. But I like them for their information on the films, not the fans themselves. In fact, when Halloween: 25 Years of Terror turns its attention to the fans, it's quite embarrassing. I expect nothing different from this documentary.

It would have been interesting to have seen a new HD documentary on all of the films, with some new interviews about the prequels in retrospect.

Perhaps something on the Expanded Universe and the various spinoffs over the years, such as two Clone Wars cartoons, the Droid and Ewok cartoons and movies, and dare I say The Holiday Special.

Maybe something detailing the many variations of the original Star Wars as it progressed from the early drafts to shooting script.

And I love the idea of the Changes featurette. Imagine seeing vintage footage of Beru's original voice. The original Star Wars changed various times from the mono, stereo, and 70mm versions. Not to mention, the opening crawl changed a couple years after its initial release.

As a companion piece to the Blu Ray set, might I suggest purchasing the coffee table books The Making of the Star Wars and The Making of Empire Strikes Back. Excellent in their detail of the process of making the first two Star Wars films. So expansive, that no documentary could hold all of that information.

i think this is the best looking still

It looks awful, the Clone Troopers are so clearly CGI.

I'll be honest with everybody - they could make this release out of toilet paper and market it similarly and I'd still be there day one at this point.
