An inaccurate nugget. Yes there were tests done with a CGI Yoda for Episode V. Since the CGI people were trying to match the puppet.

Those tests were only to prepare the digital character for Attack of the Clones, not with the plan to replace Yoda in the OT.

Lucas has even said in various DVD extras and other places he doesn't intend to replace the puppet Yoda from ESB or RotJ.

There was some French on the plastic, but nothing on the box itself.

And I thought I was convinced I would be watching it in the order of 456123. Now you have me considering doing it in the intended order... (only SW movie I've seen so far is #3 but that was many years ago I barely remember anything from it)

My Walmart had 0 copies out of the complete saga, just a whole bunch of separate trilogy editions. I did see like 5 boxes behind the electronics register that said "do not open until Sep 16th" and they were still unopened! Walmart employees.

BluLobsta · 09-16-2011, 02:13 PM

Well, the most anticipated release day in Blu-ray history is here

We'll see how it goes

Entertainment Weekly has my favorite review quote so far:

Entertainment Weekly gives it an A-, saying, "The Complete Saga is so visually drool-inducing that it should come with a bib."

Not only that, but it does add a bit of order to them in-terms of getting a full picture and at least I feel like when you get to the back end (4,5,6) you really appriciate how much better the movies are(4,5,6 that is

).

Anyone else running into this?

I hope I don't run into the same problem, I'm from Indiana also!!

FYI for Target buyers: the lithos are NOT "on-pack" with the Complete Saga, but a separate package. Be sure to find a SW standee to get them (in my store, it was up at the front, by the registers). The lithos were not in the regular video section. Also, at my store at least, they had a pretty limited quantity of the lithos out in the standee; they may of course restock throughout the day, but when I bought my set at 8:15AM (Twin Cities suburb) there were only 15 or so litho packs left!

My BB had a copy of the 9 disc set and the T-Shirt set aside with my name on them.

That was nice.

Same thing happened to me, I'll be bathing later ...

Great, something to be nervous about today's delivery... As much as it would pain me, I'd send it back to Amazon for replacement due to "incomplete product" or whatever. But who knows when your replacement will arrive...
