Agreed. I appreciate what they're trying to do with the individual sets. But it just looks messy to me.

In the end, they could package the movies in what amounts to a paper bag (See Army of Darkness: Bootleg Edition) and I'd be happy.

It's the movies that matter. 99% of the time my box is going to be on my shelves, other than when I'm changing discs.

Does the Ewok blinking really bother anyone? It could've been worse, George could've given them 6 neon colored eyelids that played some sort of melody when they blinked.

I don't think anyone has really said thay they're bothered by this change, but many are just pointing out that it is a change.

A positive one, like CG Yoda

The reports have been from bitstreaming, and usually, selecting the other output method resolves such an issue until the player has a new firmware that comes out and corrects said issue. And that's even if this is an issue that's actually widespread... who knows what firmware they're using, if their firmware was p reviously updated correctly, etc.

This is why I quit bitstreaming a while ago.

The Ewok blinking does not bother me, never has. Just the NOOOOO at the end of Jedi bothers me but not enough to cancel my order... lol

I approve. That's a splendiferous idea.
Two excellent film series in two weeks = two awesome weeks!

The temp art from back in the early spring was waaaay better.

I hate all of the artwork. Looks good from a distance, but when you get close you can see that it's actually a photo ran through a filter to make it look like a painting. Just terrible. Not like the DVDs had good artwork, though.

The complete saga artwork is an actual painting.

Sorry, I didn't specify. I meant the pages that look like shots from the movies.

[Mavrick]

Ah I see.




You know, I quite like the Complete Saga artwork. :/

I finished watching all six films today. It's awesome being able to finally view them in HD. None of the changes bothered me at all to be honest.

Wicket blinking was a little weird, but it was subtle enough it wasn't too distracting. I'll easily get used to it. I didnt really notice any other Ewoks blinking, which was kinda strange.

The new CG Yoda in Episode I is far better than the puppet, a very welcome change.

The whole thing with Vader's "no" and Obi-Wan's new dragon call has been really overblown. With the full surround sound mix playing, they didn't bug me at all. These changes should in no way sway anyone from getting the set, they still feel like the same movies. They look and especially sound awesome.

My new favorite Blu-ray set.

Thank you for your review!! And it will be my new favorite blu-ray set too. Can't wait to finally introduce the Star Wars: The Complete Saga blu-ray to my HD home theatre after 4 years.

Cool!

Were you happy to hear the trumpets again when the X-wings dive in to attack the Death Star?!?!

Hearing that will probably tear me up One of the BEST movie moments of all time!

I've heard excellent reviews including the changes that were made not being as bad as the cry babies are screaming about. Excellent news.

Friday cannot get here soon enough... damn paycheck.
