I'm not talking about those now.

Personally I felt for the prequels (and OT) they should have used the theatrical poster work.

I agree the original poster art for both trilogies is excellent.

I think it's cool that the lightsaber is green in A New Hope. Think about it - that was Luke's father's lightsaber, but his true father is "dead" now per Obi-Wan. Maybe the lightsaber was green for a moment because it was changing owners, or foreshadowing Luke crafting his own green lightsaber?

Regardless of color, it's no match for a good blaster at your side! LOL.

Great. Now every time I watch PM when Maul is about to kill Qui-Gon, I'll picture Obi-Wan jumping in and shouting:
"Wait, leave him alone! We're friends!"
Maul: "He's not my friend! He's a f--king idiot!"
Qui-Gon: "What's that supposed to mean?" :D

That's always the downside when you have a boxset of films something gets left out. I would have much preferred an embossed Star Wars logo on a black background and separate cases featuring artwork or Photoshop'd floating heads.

I don't mind the artwork of the Saga set but the Anakin/Luke juxtaposition (especially the Tatooine setting) feels more Lucasfilm PR than a bridge between the two trilogies. It just doesn't resonate with me as much as it does with other people who've commentated on it.

For the entire saga, I would have liked a black box with the logo raised in gold leaf... That box would contain the two seperate trilogies in their own packaging. Dark blue (OT) & dark red (PT) boxes with raised silver leaf lettering. Inside those would be the individual films (in standard BD cases) with their respective original poster artwork.

While I don't love the complete saga artwork, I don't hate it as I can see the reasoning behind it. It is too TPM looking for me though.

I stronly dislike the complete saga artwork, but LOVE the idea you have. Basically, keep the preorder artwork from like 5 months ago, right? Would LOVE that. It was simple, classy and right to the point.

So let me ask this again because it keeps going unanswered and the tread is to massive to sift through again, but um has it been confirmed that any of the deleted scenes are going to be reinstered into any of the films? Not asking about changes to shots and effects just wondering if any deleted/extended scenes are being reinsterted or if any that were already inserted are being trimmed?

Then my job is done here. ;)

And it works in reverse for me too. Anytime I see something with Peter Serafinowicz in it ("Shaun...", "Spaced", "Couples Retreat" etc), as soon as he opens his mouth, I picture Darth Maul.

They should give the Darth Maul Zombie his own graphic novel spin-off. You read it here first....

I never knew that Peter Serafinowicz was the voice of Darth Maul! Yeah, I can see that screwing with my head now, when watching Phantom Menace and Shaun of the Dead.

:thumbsup: Great parody post.

At least... I hope it was a post made in jest. :ohnoes:

This is Peter doing Alec Guinness here too...

Just preordered both trilogies.

I ended up saving like four bucks on Amazon doing it that way.

Yes, I do. Lucas has had a definitive vision all these years and although it's trickled out here and there, we are reaching that point where the movies will be exactly the way he wants them.

Not a parody. :)

it's a cool idea, I like it, but it is by no means, intentional.

You missed out on the three special features discs.
