The box art and the packaging look great and the disc art looks good. Can't wait for the release of the saga blu-ray box set on September 16th. I also hope the release back here in the U.S. is very good that is if the packaging and disc art is the same as the U.K. release if it is it will be very close.

I think they're the same book style packaging we saw for 24 DVD's and the Alien Quadrilogy DVD set (there are nine trays), they do look like slim cases though. I think there's a chance the booklet will be included as part of the packaging in the US release and not as a separate item. If the US set is similar to the US Alien Anthology BD set but that's just speculation on my part.

I like the disc art as well it's nice to see Chewie getting his own disc though Boba Fett would have been cool.

Agreed.

I'm not too keen on some of the characters chosen for the disc art. Luke isn't even on a disc but Lando is! WTF is up with that?

Here is who I would have chosen for each disc:
Episode 1: Qui-Gon
Episode 2: Palpatine
Episode 3: half Anakin half Vader face
Episode 4: Obi-Won stays
Episode 5: OT Yoda
Episode 6: Luke (he is the Jedi that returned after all)

Artoo and Threepio on the two extra discs are good. For the third extra disc I would have chosen a space shot or a ship or two. Lando is a smooth space pimp but he isn't disc worthy in my opinion.

I just feel that there are more characters that are important to the story that some that are featured on the discs. These choices seem pretty arbitrary to me.

Well it looks better than the plain dics that were shown a couple of weeks ago but yes the characters chosen is rather odd.

I would almost be happier with the plain discs and titles on them than what is shown in that picture.

Seems like very odd choices for the discs... it can't be final. None of them have Luke, Han, or Leia on them?

Threepio and Artoo on the bonus discs is actually a really good choice though :)

I can understand not having Han or Leia on any of the discs, but not having Luke on any of them is just ridiculous.

I am sure that his daughter chose the disk art also, just like she picked the box art too. :shrug:



.

We don't get a boba fett disc? Wtf??

I want a Watto disc.

Definitely an odd selection of characters to include on this discs. I'm happy for the guy, but Lando? Dooku? I imagine this means Luke, Leia, Han, Jedi Anakin, younger Obi-Wan, and Padme are gonna be heavily featured throughout the packaging itself.

I've always interpreted the Jedi who returned as Anakin, the fallen Jedi, or even the Jedi Order in general.

The disc choices are odd. Where are Han, Luke, Leia, and Padme? They are certainly more crucial characters than Chewbacca, Count Dooku, and especially Lando.

First off i cant wait to see a Sonic Bomb on Blu Ray! lol. Second i think the disc art for Chewy, Darth and Yoda are amazing. Third, ppl need to stop *****ing about why Padme didnt freak out when she found out Anakin killed all those people. Its no different the Leia not reacting when she sees every single person she knows DIE! Also episode 1! Jar jar yes hes annoying sure but thats what people were saying about C-3po, R2 and Ewoks. Same goes for Anakin as a child, sure i guess hes annoying! But so were you at that age! Hes a kid for god sakes... What, is he supposed to be all bad ass and beating the hell out of his friends. Its not like he was born and immediately turned to the dark side. They have to show him that he was just like us and how he turned from a normal sweet kid to ROTJ.

I always thought that also.

The saga as a whole is s story of falling from grace and redemption.

Yeah I can see that as well. Luke needs to be on one of the discs so I figured Episode 6 was the best place for him as I feel Obi-Won and Yoda both deserve disc art as well and they both fit best on Episode 4 and 5 respectively.

I agree.

I do think that no matter who they ended up choosing, they would never satisfy all of us.

has anyone seen this "trailer" yet?

i guess it's showing some of the extras/concept art/whatnot that will be included... kind of a strange trailer... if you can call it that

That's the May the Fourth promotional trailer.

It is different because Leia didn't marry Tarken two days later.
