Have you guys watched Star Wars Begins?

I think this is great stuff! Lots of stuff I've never seen before.

Forever Knight · 08-25-2011, 09:05 PM

Are these the original 3 or the special edition original 3?.

Beast · 08-25-2011, 09:07 PM

I'm really surprised we haven't seen anything really in the way of Store Exclusives.

Well, other then that faux "Film Frame" thing that Best Buy is offering when ya pre-order.

I know Wal-Mart is going to have 6 exclusive Action Figure packs. But you buy them separate.

Neither. They're all new 2011 versions. They started with the most recent cuts, and then added a few new surprises.

If its only movies why is it $90 ?

If somethings only then it should be only $10.

Thats only to me.

Huh? It's 6 movies and 3 bonus discs of extras. $90's a pretty decent price for what you're getting.

And even if I did, I'd probably wait until we have a giant snowstorm sometime this coming winter or for a bitterly cold day when I don't want to venture out.

Don't know how old your niece is, but my 8-year-old grandkid would have absolutely no interest in Star Wars, and especially not on her birthday, although she's a big, big fan of the Harry Potter books (we won't let her watch the films until after she's completed the books because we don't want to destroy the images that she's created in her own mind). But that won't be much longer because I think she's already finishing the fifth or sixth book.

It was a joke dude, and I have a life.

I can't wait to watch Star Wars on blu-ray

DD I think I'll be organizing a viewing party/gathering with my friends. Do you have similar plans?

Thanks for sharing this! I remember looking for it ages ago. You can also watch the complete doc in one file.

3 weeks to go and I cant wait.

estoniankid · 08-25-2011, 11:37 PM

Can someone provide a rundown on where you can pre-order, their price, and any special offers you get for preordering.

That would be very useful information for most of us.

phatrat1982 · 08-25-2011, 11:42 PM

I wish I could help but I will be buying mine locally probably from Target or Hastings or wherever I find it first. On a release like this the hunt is half the fun getting it in the mail is just not the same.

Beowulf85 · 08-26-2011, 12:07 AM

Do you think, that with the "new" mix for A New Hope, we will be able to hear Luke's line in the cantina scene when he asks for a drink? "Can I get one of those?" -- if you turn on the subtitles is there, but you can barely hear it.

Another scene that comes to my mind is when Darth Vader is choking the admiral or general ( The "I find your lack of faith disturbing" scene) I remember than in one version of the movie you could distinctively hear the man's neck starting to break and Ben Burtt even mentions that he was crushing a celery with his hands to make that sound, maybe that sound will be more prominent again D: ?

Are you sure Burtt wasn't describing the scene with Captain Antilles and not Admiral Motti? It's clear Motti survives the encounter more or less embarrassed (and gasping for air), not physically harmed.

kenkraly2004 · 08-26-2011, 12:26 AM

In the death star video on the star wars youtube channel. Their have been some that are complaining about the audio that video that it is popping and clipping. it's just youtube compression of the audio doing that it won't be like that when the final blu-rays come out on September 16th. So relax.

On the Episode IV commentary, Burtt is describing the celery sound as Motti is being choked.

Beast · 08-26-2011, 12:32 AM

I'm kinda surprised the ANH running time hasn't changed. I really expected a scene with Palpatine added to ANH.

I always thought they'd add a scene where we see Palpatine and Stormtroopers "Dissolving The Senate".

Especially since there was talk of additional scenes for the OT being filmed during filming of the Prequels. Would have been cool.

Would have been were they could have used the Imperial March theme also. Oh well, maybe we'll get it for the next release.
