I think Star Wars is Coming to Blu-Ray soon.. - Blu-ray Forum

Mr. Joshua · 06-29-2007, 08:10 PM

I heard an announcement that Star Wars is coming to Blu-ray by 4th quarter 2007 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first film Episode 4. Anyone else heard this announcement.

LINK. this is GREAT news.

Where did you hear this from? I didn't think Lucas would transfer is precious babies to bd till 2009!

GaS · 06-29-2007, 08:14 PM

Would be a killer move for BD, but I doubt it.

Amazon makes placeholder listings for tons of titles that aren't out yet, just so people can click their "let me know when it's available: button

aqupunk · 06-29-2007, 08:20 PM

Of all places to confirm a blu ray release why would amazon know? This is a typo or a joke!

donricouga · 06-29-2007, 08:27 PM

More garbage ! If we see star wars on blu-ray by christmas 08' i'll be shocked !

Blu Tiger · 06-29-2007, 08:29 PM

I hope this is true but I fear that it isn't (fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering...)

Believe it when I see it territory.

Star Wars is going to be that often-repeated HD disc rumour, as it was for MANY years on DVD.

let`s face it lucas will wait and drain this for every penny it`s worth and if you think any different your crazy,I quote the man above cause the logic speaks for itself

WickyWoo · 06-30-2007, 05:02 AM

It took 7 years to get Star Wars on DVD, partially because Lucas was sure HD formats were right around the corner

I believe we will have SW on BR after he does the IMAX re-releases. After that we can commence with the whining that he's changed the movies again

For me as long as Han shoots first, I'm good

Star Wars coming by the end of the year this is nothing more than a pipedream. I doubt 1-3 will even be the original versions. Look how long it took that to come to SD, and even then it was only stereo and non-anamorphic video. Then again, who knows. Lucas will try and drain the fans' wallets as he has done in the past. How many times have they been released and then re-released?

HDforever! · 06-29-2007, 11:46 PM

I'll only buy it if it's a fully restored version of the original theatrical cuts of the first trilogy as seen in 1977, 1980, and 1983. All the rest is PURE CRAP.

If they want to clean up the matte lines, but leave everything else alone, that's fine by me.

But Georgey boy really doesn't give a poodoo about what his fans want. Looks like I'll be holding on to the laserdiscs for a looooooong time and find a backup LD player when mine dies.

PaulDubya · 06-29-2007, 11:50 PM

Dont hold your breath guys! Lucas is a tough cookie it will a millenium falcon b4 we see them on Blu ray by the end of this year

HDforever! · 06-30-2007, 12:05 AM

Lucas and Spielberg ALWAYS wait for market penetration before releasing their babies.

ALWAYS.

I've heard no such announcement, and until a link is provided, nothing personal, but neither did you.
