The first one listed is from the existing DVDs. The second one is going to be culled from the past 3 decades of interviews they already have.

Seems pretty clear to me.
maybe it will be as good as the ALIENS multiple person commentary track.

I'm pretty sure that's what I'm doing? :confused: I BELIEVE that I shouldn't be using my personal FB page as a billboard for Lucasfilm. And I BELIEVE that my info there is private and will not give LFL access to it.


You seem to treat fandom like a religion or something. Again, we clearly have different definitions of what it means to be a "fan" of a film. To me, it's a lot about enjoying a movie and less about lame ad gimmicks.

Well, I know that Ben Burtt doesn't work for Lucasfilm anymore, so I don't see him coming back. Apparently, he and Lucas didn't end it on the best of terms.

how could they put in an audio commentary from 3 decades together and syncrhonize it with the film as it's playing? it's a commentary not parts and parts put together...it doesn't say they are interviews, but commentaries...

so one has to be from the DVD...what other one did they have?
There are dozens of examples of DVDs that include "commentaries" pulled together from past interviews that aren't screen-specific. They'll probably just do their best to synch up relevant topics with what's going on on-screen.

(Incidentally, with pretty big gaps in between speakers, this is the EXACT approach they used on the laserdisc "commentary".)

:whip: That's so true! I bought an official/nicely framed autograph in Disney World a few years ago and retail was $425 (I didn't pay that though I got a discount...I'm sure it's worth more now. But I loved that it was kind of a candid portrait of him from Bladerunner.

You are 100% correct. Its Lucas' way of getting free advertising. We all love this film series, but at the end of the day the blu rays are nothing more than a product that needs to be sold. If Lucas can get some free advertising then its a big win for him (notice SW is now at the top of the preorders again... and almost everyone here preordered months ago...).

He's turned more into George Hamilton that anything else, especially considering how much the womanizer the man really is. While this may be detestable behavior, I don't see how that equates to hatred over his fans.

For the most part, the main cast of the original Star Wars movies has tried to distance themselves away from anything having to do with the Star Wars phenomenon. You have to remember that they have dealt with these fan crazy intrusions into their life since 1977. At some point, they basically took the atittude that "enough is enough". Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and the rest of the cast have been wanting to move on and become known for something other than "Star Wars" and you cannot fault them for that.

Harrison Ford has made quite a few good movies that are neither Star Wars nor Science Fiction. I personally enjoyed "Witness", "Air Force One" and many other films he has made. It's not all about Star Wars and I think these actors have given us more than enough of their personal time.
But harrison ford doesnt do commentaries for air force one or witness does he? the guy is a tool. I've tried to find interviews about him and star wars and they are rare...it would have been nice if he did the commentary this time...so fine..he didn't do it...he never will...

but how do you explain mark hammil NOT doing it?????

So youre saying that they are just grabbing soundbites from old interviews and putting them in as an audio commentary? thats cheating isn't?

I really, do think the first one is ALL NEW!!! but we won't know till sep I guess because they don't give you dates..

Guess you never heard any of the Bond movie commentaries.

That's probably one of the biggest ironies. Han Solo and Indiana Jones are practically the same character. Yeah they have different backgrounds, etc but it's not like Harrison Ford has a whole lot of range as an actor.

That's exactly what I'm saying. "Commentary from Archival Interviews with Cast and Crew" - that seems pretty clear to me.

"Cheating"? I don't even know what that means in this context.


Terminator 2 leaps to mind as a commentary that did this as well (stringing together interview audio from participants). And James Bond.

Dude is busy? He does a ton of voice work for Video Games and Cartoons, so he just may not have had time in his schedule. Also, he might not have been asked to do it? Plenty of reasons. Was Harrison Ford asked to participate? Probably not. Dunno if you guys have seen him on Letterman, Conan or Leno but the dude is a boring interview.
