Has anyone found out if this will include the old supplements? I was wondering if they would be using them again or sticking to all new content.

Just to throw my dos centavos into the mix here, but sorry Beast, I am in agreement with KORIN and ZoetMB... the Complete Saga cover makes me want to http://i.slickdeals.net/images/smilies/emot-puke.gif. I much, much, MUCH prefer the separate trilogy covers, esp. the way they have a mirror effect to them (Yoda facing left with montage on right, Darth Vader facing right with montage on left)... very cool and is more or less a new take on the old posters. But the Saga cover... WTF?!?

Granted, it is all about the innards, but I display my fave box sets (at least, my fave looking boxes ;)) on top of my DVD/BD case, with all the "regular" ones inside. (Currently all DVD: Batman Anthology, Indiana Jones Trilogy, LotR EE, Matrix Ultimate, and Star Wars 2004.) Now that we know that the Saga set will only have 1 extra disc rather than 3, it makes the cover even less forgivable. In fact, I am considering leaving the SW DVD box on top and "hiding" the BD box with the rest of my collection.

Making matters worse, I pre-ordered the Saga set with a coupon (50% off... you know where... :D), so when it arrives I might in theory be able to do an even exchange for the two trilogy sets (since they add up to the pre-coupon price), but chances are I will only be credited my actual purchase price, nullifying the use of the coupon. Guess I should have just pre-ordered all three with the coupon to have myself "covered" (har har har), but I thought that the black, blue, and plum covers were the actual covers. Silly me.

Thankfully the LotR EE BD box looks suh-weet, so that will definitely get top and center billing on my case. I will be sad to retire the EE DVD box from the spot is has maintained for the last 6+ years, but it will definitely find a nice home somewhere else in the house (bedroom ent. ctr. possibly...?).

EDIT: Hopefully some, dedicated, like-minded, PhotoShop savvy fan will make a new cover for the Saga using the separate trilogy art... then I will just print it out and glue it the frak on!

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled bickering.

VSP

Those kinds of details were not revealed in the All Will Be Revealed announcement.

That will be in next month All That Wasn't Revealed In The All Will Be Revealed Will Now Be Revealed announcement ;)

Perhaps today was the Original Announcement and later on we'll get the altered, Special Edition Announcement, followed by the removal of the Unaltered Original Announcement from the internet, making us fight over which is better - the OA or the UOA. ;)

Alright, I like my post but your's is even better :D

Not having the UOA raped my Wednsday:mad:

I see pictures of the packagings but it's nor clear how discs will be presented inside. Maybe like the Alien Anthology pack or individual cases...

Yep hate the cover.

I'm almost tempted to just get the two seperate trilogy's instead of the whole boxset, mainly because the artwork on both fraking rule.

Any news on if the original films got 4K scans for their remasters?

Nothing. Details regarding the video specs are curiously absent from the press release.

You WIN! :rofl:

Fun, interesting fact:

Katie Lucas (George's youngest daughter, one of the writers of the Clone Wars series) helped pick out the art work for the Blu Rays.

Don't you know? Beast has aleady stated his opinion that the reveal was glorious. So no other opinions will be needed ever.

Very interesting. She's got a good artistic sensibility. And is spot on....

@
@VideoETA they looked at every theme for every release--they all looked too similar. This is something different. Classic.

@
@VideoETA at the heart of the saga, it is about a boy and his father and thats what was depicted in the art.

No. I stated that to expect them to show you every second of every feature 4 months ahead of time was ludicrous.

Beast,

She's on the money. That's why the Saga box art is pretty damn great. Again, I would've loved a Struzan original but this will definitely do, compared to the DVDs.

Beast,

And she says the box art was concept art. I'm willing to bet it was concept art for a poster or something.

I'll buy* the original trilogy only if they are the un-tainted theatrical versions and not the tainted "special" editions. I want Lucas's taint nowhere near my Star Wars movies.


*note - from ebay, of course. I'll give my money to a stranger before Mr. Big Bucks any day.
