I have been and I have not seen that at all.

I have seen people say they do not care about the UOT, or that think the SE's should be in the complete saga. People saying that the SE's belong in the saga is not the same as saying the UOT should not be released period.

I will say what you always say. Source?

And do not say this thread lol. Go through the thread and find the posts that said the UOT should not be released PERIOD. Of those posts count how many posts they have to show that they are frequent posters. Put some hard numbers to it.

The ones that say that they do not think the UOT should not be part of the complete saga do not count since they are not saying they " do not want the UOT released period!" Saying they do not want it in the saga is not the same thing.

Well, what will be will be. I think I'll be very very happy with this set, just to own my favourite franchise of all time on Blu-ray.

This is getting nuts.

There are people that like the SE, like the UOT and like both.

We all need to agree to disagree.

Those that prefer the UOT only need to get the acceptance phase of the grief life cycle, because it is not in this release.

If the UOT is the only version of the OT you intend to purchase and because of that you are not taking part in this release you need to think about why you are still commenting in this thread since it will not be in this release.

If the UOT is a deal breaker for you you should contact LucasFilm and make your opinion known there where it might do some good. It surely will not change things posting here. In fact whether it is a deal breaker or not you should contact them if you want to see it released eventually.

I know some of you will answer this by saying "I have a right to my opinion", but repeating the opinion over and over again is not needed.

The horse has been beaten to death already. It is time to bury it.

We should get back to the threads intent which is to talk about the release we have.

I'm totally looking forward to this Complete Saga blu ray set and will be buying it on release day for sure. I like some of the changes, I don't like some of the changes; some bug me more than others. I think that's a common view.

Has anyone read The Secret History of the Star Wars?

If you haven't you should. It really opens you up to what goes on in Lucas head and is one of the best reads ever.

Lets just say that those who actually believe Lucas when he says he had this whole thing figured out from day one will see that was not the case AT ALL.

Only 2 more months until Star Wars The Complete Saga comes out on Blu-Ray Disc. September 16th can't come fast enough. Looking forward to the release and seeing all 6 films in stunning 1080p HD Video and listening to them in DTS HD Master Audio 6.1 surround sound. My question is what other changes are in store for the blu-ray box set? We know that 1. the new digital yoda will be in Ep 1 TPM 2. Ep 4 ANH will have a brand new sound mix but that is not confirmed yet. 3. Episode 1 from will get a new blu-ray transfer possibly? So I wonder what other tweaks / changes are in store for the saga on blu-ray?

I agree. The basic outlines he did make were very broad and not enough detail to show that it was all figured out. He just had some very basic outlines.

Which is part of the reasons he has made changes and the inconsitancies that exist.

Hopefully Ep.I will get a new transfer maybe we'll get to choose from the theatrical versions and the home video ones (even though the differences are quite small), I'd like that option with all the prequels. I think Ep.I is the one that's going to be a problem it won't match the originals or the the last two, so hopefully it won't be over processed to match. I think I'd prefer it to look natural and have it keep it's appearence.

Two months isn't long is it?

On The Secret History of the Star Wars, I've only read about 75 pages but sometimes I think people forget how much George Lucas went through both physically and mentally creating Star Wars.

When did he say that? I did read the Secret History, though (when it was free on the web site fortunately). Pretty good stuff. I would have preferred the original Bond-style every few years formula to a contrived saga.

Vader and Luke's Dad were two separate characters until roughly the 2nd draft of ESB.

Yes, know already that you are looking forward to wathing the movies with 1080p video and listening to them in DTS HS Master Audio 6.1 surround sound. You've made this post several times now, almost word for word. It's actually get much, much, MUCH more redundant than the back and forth over the UOT vs. the SE-OT/PT.

He has said this in many of his most recent interviews.

In fact I dont think he had the prequels completely figured out when he started with Phantom Menace.

Please enough of your you say the same things over again rant. I am allowed to express that I am excited for the blu-ray box set.

[TheZoof]

Just give me Starwars in 5 star PQ/AQ with the best special effects, sound and updates.

I want the new RotJ ending, all 6 movies and Jabba meeting Han.


Oh great, that is what I am getting*! go me.

*Of course if the PQ and AQ are reference... they should be.
