STAR WARS: The Complete Saga (Limited Edition Steelbooks)

[kryptonite1970]

THE STAR WARS SAGA TO BE ENSHRINED IN LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY STEELBOOKS
PLAQUES OF THE LEGENDARY HEROES AND VILLAINS IN THE TIMELESS SPACE EPIC.
Each cover looks like they’ve been airbrushed by a magic wand. The seams, the tattoo patterns, and the little cracks making their down the skull-like forehead tell so much without a single word accompanying them. Imperfections never looked so perfect.

As fans count down the days until the long-awaited seventh episode of the Star Wars saga, they’ll have something else to look forward to as the first six will be released as commemorative Blu-ray steelbooks for a limited time on November 10, with pre-orders beginning on August 7. Each film comes with beautiful new character packaging that include Darth Maul for The Phantom Menace, Yoda for Attack of the Clones, General Grievous for Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader for A New Hope, an Imperial stormtrooper for The Empire Strikes Back, and Emperor Palpatine for Return of the Jedi. Star Wars: The Complete Saga will also be released in newly-repackaged artwork on October 13.

In addition to the collectible steelbook packaging, each Blu-ray disc features existing audio commentary with George Lucas and the film crew as well as audio commentary from archival interviews with the cast and crew.

The Complete Saga includes all six feature films on Blu-ray, along with three additional discs containing more than 40 hours of previously-released extensive special features.

So the announcement didn't list what completely unnecessary minor changes to the films these will include that will convince fans to boycott buying them again?
I'd love to own the original trilogy if we could ever get solid transfers of it the way the 3 films were in their original theatrical releases.

If I watch these at my friend's house on his ancient Definitive Collection laserdiscs, at least the only thing we'll be missing is that brief bit of welding on the Millenium Falcon in one scene, despite the much lower resolution. Or we could watch his non-anamorphic bonus discs of the trilogy on the 2006 dvds. Neither option is really preferable.

I'll likely get the boxed set (not the steels), since I love the cover and it's so much better than the previous set artwork. I agree, though: the wait for the movies untouched goes on.

Awesome cover, blows away the current version we have. Not worth double dipping for it tho.

A photoshopped, tiny head Vader beats illustrations? Disagree.....

UGH its Revenge of the Sith "Annie" Vader. Bring on 4k theatrical editions. This is another waste.

This is practically the same as the 2011 version, right? What changes are the cases, correct?

Thanks

So, let me get this straight. You'd rather not buy a blu-ray of Star Wars until they release the 4k theatrical on UHD?? So, as a Star Wars fan, you'll never buy a disc...lol
