It didn't even have the three "Special Edition" trailers that were featured on the 1997 VHS Widescreen release of the Special Editions. The only SE trailer featured on the disc was a very early version of the eventually finalized trailer (the finalized version of which was featured on the "New Hope" '97 Widescreen VHS tape) that stated the first movie of the Trilogy was to be released on Presidents Day weekend (which was later bumped up to January), and didn't even give the specific release dates for "Empire" or "Jedi" that the finalized trailer did (though even that "final" Trailer isn't accurate for "Jedi" as it's release was pushed back a week at the last minute). So, it was missing the finalized trailer for all 3 SE movies being re-released, the trailer for "Empire" and "Jedi" that was shown in front of "A New Hope", and then the trailer for "Jedi" that was shown in front of "Empire". Granted, there are other features that are arguably more important than these trailers, but considering that they were relatively recent material at the time that the DVD set was released, and not something burried somewhere in archives that have to be searched through and might require some cleaning up to make it watchable. Hopefully we get more robust features on this Blu-Ray set. It sounds like we will be (which is good), but outside of the one deleted seen from "Jedi", we don't know much in the way of specifics yet. |
I suppose to addition of special features in a Star Wars Blu-ray release can be important and epic depending on your level of geekiness when it come's to Star Wars :D
As for me I am a total Star Wars nerd to the point where I make the guys in Bing Bang Theory look normal ;) Star Wars is one of the few times where I still bother checking out all of the bonus features, the others would be when I purchase movies in the Criterion collection. The rest of the time I am not really that interested in bonus features. Those features were fun back 10 years ago but after a while I sort of got tired of them. I mean how many time do I need to see how they created some CGI stuff for a movie :D The only set in the last 7 years for which I saw all of the bonus features beside Star Wars was The Lord Of The Ring Extended sets who had some very epic features and bonuses. |
I agree with you about special features. My interest in them has certainly waned over the years. My favorites now seem to be documentaries included on releases like the DC animated films, where they dive into the history of the comic characters. I eat that stuff up with a spoon. The actual making of the film material is less interesting. You've seen one EPK, you've seen them all.

Empire Of Dreams was awesome. I have a feeling some of the problems with ANH and ESB were exaggerated for effect, but I digress. It was still an amazing documentary.
|
I'd love to see Fox's 1997 "Star Wars: The Magic and the Mystery" documentary thrown in as well. There's lots of great old documentaries that would be awesome to have as extras.

Lucas should at least give us the originals in anamorphic and cleaned up. If Ridley Scott can make Blade Runner look like it was filmed in HD Lucas can do the same.
I think the chainsaw scene should be removed from Scarface and the horse head scene should be removed from The Godfather cause kids might see it :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:... There are just some things kids don't need to see and some movies just need to be PG13 or R rated..... |
Maybe that would turn The Godfather into a good movie if they were to do that :p

The whole Star Wars 3D thing... I wish Lucas would leave well enough alone. I was glad to see the Special Editions of the original trilogy come out but the prequels were bilge swill and the 3D versions will be unadulterated exploitation of his fan base. I may see "ANH" in 3D just to see if 2D can be converted but that'll be the extent of my Lucas coffer padding. |
