It's an awesome magazine! At least this issue was. I'll have to subscribe!

Yup. That's the old issue. Unless you're interested in the Clone Wars...it's really not interesting anymore. I've been a member of the "fan club" since it started and have every issue. You don't ever get any real "news" from it.

I highly doubt those "leaked rips" are from the blu-rays. Somebody is toying with SW fans.

[frogmort]

I just looked at that MF.com, and they are listed as:
eIV: 6.5G
eV: 5.5G
eVI: 6.5G

Why would they be that tiny?

Edit: I have no interest in them, since I already have the DVDs, and will have the Complete Saga in two and a half weeks, just wondering why they would be so small if they are from the BDs.

I saw "Star Wars Clone Wars Insider" as well... but the ones I picked up (Star Wars Insider) has absolutely nothing about the Clone Wars animated series at all...

Features about the Radio Drama, the Star Tours ride at disney, Anthony Daniels, etc.

Maybe this is just an off issue with no Clone Wars whatsoever

Fun Fact: "Over 60% of A New Hope was shot on film stock that was prone to fading and was discontinued by the early 1980s"

Because rips are always tiny? Also these are nor 1080p, only 720p.

And I don't believe they're really BDrips.

mkv 720p blu ray rips average between 4.3-7 gigs on average for just about any movie. 1080p's are usually 7-12 gigs

I forget where that's from. Was that on that old StarWars.Com "News From The Holonet" website originally?

I don't remember where it came from as it's been a while since I found it and saved it to one of my SW folders.

Lets change the subject please, It is starting to cross that line....

What is it you guys are wanting most out of the blu-ray boxset?

For me its mainly just see to the entire saga in blu-ray but i'm also intersted in some of the special features like the at-at that was shown earlier. Obviously i want to see what deleted scenes are included too.

I heard their supose to have new commentary tracks too which could be interesting as well.

Yeah, the New Commentary tracks should be interesting. Since they're drawn from Archival Recordings. Should be fun.
The ones that Disney have done like that have been pretty interesting. And given the Lucasfilm Archives, they should have plenty of material to draw from.

Personally I just want to finally be able to watch all 6 films in 1080p with lossless audio!

The next thing I want to see are the deleted scenes. Nothing else really intrests me, although I will watch every extra!

The commentry tracks will be done exactly the same way as the tracks for the older bond films. They will take audio clips from various interviews and just paste them into the relivent scene of the film.

I don't know how much footage was shot of Owen and Beru but Owen was a real bastard in the early drafts of the script so I'm guessing Luke didn't miss him too much. It'll be interesting to see if any of this finds its way into the deleted scenes section or if they even shot it.

[Show spoiler]

28. INT. LAR'S HOMESTEAD - LIVING AREA - LATE AFTERNOON

Luke and his uncle Owen sit before a table covered with steaming bowls of food. AUNT BERU, a plump, gray-haired matron, carries in a pitcher of blue milk. Luke is in a good mood, and gobbles down his food.

LUKE
Well, I'm sure glad we finally bought those extra 'droids.' I'm sending my application to the academy first thing in the morning.

Luke's Uncle Owen has a scowl on his face and appears to be in a very grumpy mood.

OWEN
First thing tomorrow morning you're going to check those condensing units on the south ridge.

LUKE
I will, but I'll have enough time to transmit my application first.

OWEN
You'll check the condensing unit first... and you're not going to bed until those 'droids' are completely cleaned up...

LUKE
But you promised! I've saved enough money and now you have the extra help ... you promised!

OWEN
I said we'd see.
(pauses for a moment)
And as it is, I was forced to borrow your academy savings to buy the new 'droids.' When you've saved it up again, I'll let you go.

LUKE
You used my savings! You stole my savings. If my father were here...

OWEN
Your father's dead. Don't ever forget who's taking care of you, giving you food, giving you shelter, and giving you the allowance in the first place. If you plan to work at the academy the way you work around here, you won't last very long. I don't want another word. Finish your dinner, then finish cleaning those 'droids.'

Luke pushes his half-eaten plate of food aside and rushes out of the room. Owen mechanically finishes his dinner afraid to look at his quietly sympathetic wife.

BERU
Owen, you know it means so much to him. Couldn't you have been a little easier with him?

OWEN
The academy won't treat him any differently. If he's going to become a cadet, he'll have to get used to it.

Then, later:

31. INT. LAR'S HOMESTEAD - KITCHEN AREA - NIGHT

Now that night has fallen, the interior of the homestead is filled with a warm glow. Luke rushes in as his Aunt Beru is putting the last of the dinner plates away.

LUKE
Aunt Beru!

BERU
What is is, dear?

Luke is out of breath and takes a few moments to compose himself. A realization crosses his mind and he suddenly seems much calmer.

LUKE
Ahh... I... I'm finished with the droids and I wondered if I could... ahhh... work on my speeder before I turn in...

BERU
I'm sure that would be all right. But not too late, dear.

Luke gives his aunt a big hug. He seems suddenly very sentimental and serious.

LUKE
I love you, Aunt Beru. I really do.

He gives her a little kiss on the cheek and leaves.

BERU
(to herself)
Now what's gotten into that boy?

32. EXT. UTAPAU - LAR'S HOMESTEAD - COURTYARD - MORNING

Morning slowly creeps into the sparse, but sparkling oasis of the open courtyard. The idyll is broken by the yelling of Uncle Owen, his voice echoing throughout the building.

OWEN
Luke! Luke! Where could he be loafing now?

Owen enters the courtyard in a huff, scattering the large gopher-like rodents. He opens the garage and notices the battered old landspeeder is missing.

OWEN
Beru! Come here!

33. INT. LAR'S HOMESTEAD - GARAGE AREA - MORNING

Owen enters the garage and looks around. He picks up a magazine-like video slate sitting propped up on the bench. It generates a soft glow, as if it had been left on "hold." Beru hurries into the garage.

BERU
What is it?

As Owen picks up the video-slate, it turns itself on and Luke's image appears.

LUKE
Aunt Beru, Uncle Owen, I don't mean to hurt you and I know you've been good to me, but I'm leaving. There are important things I must do. I've taken my speeder and the 'droids' which you bought with my savings. I've also taken my father's lightsaber. You can keep everything else. I am grateful for all you've done. I'll miss you, Aunt Beru. I love you both...

The image fades and the old couple stare at one another. Beru's face is filled with a great loss. Finally she turns and leaves the garage, and Owen in disbelief.

OWEN
That boy is going to get himself killed... He's just like his father.

Some of you may know that Harrison and Carrie drank a few before some scenes. I would like to see the footage of them having a good time. I think it would have been hilarious if they went out to some pub in full out Star Wars frocks. Carrie has one too many and chucks over the bar. Harrison picks her up but before leaving the bar he gives the tender a five and says...

Then, later:

Okay. You should have Beru spank Luke, but not too hard. I know how objectionable Luke's scream is to some people around here.

Did you recently watch Burial Ground: Night of Terror, because there is a little mother son action in there.

[Maggot]

PQ/AQ. It's as simple as that for me. I really could care less about extras. For any movie I buy, it's always about the movie and only the movie. I never watch the special features. If Lucas could put each movie across two discs and maximize the bitrate, I would be completely up for that. Of course, would the current TV's be up for showing the resolution. I know it was a smart thing for Paramount to split the Ten Commandments. I doubt Star Wars is going to look that good. After seeing the Ten Commandments Blu-ray look absolutely jaw-dropping and basically just about rocking up to the top of my personal list of best PQ discs, the Star Wars Blu-rays(the original three) have a lot cut out for them. Granted I'm not being fair as wasn't the Ten Commandments shot on like 65mm-70mm? Heck the transfer for Braveheart is jaw droppingly good and it's going to be interesting to see how Star Wars(the original three) shape up to that.

Have to agree. PQ/AQ is the most important thing, and yeah, The Ten Commandments was a stellar presentation and I can only pray SW looks half as good as that.

Normally, I would agree with you. My only real concern is the A/V quality, and I usually don't care that much about the extras on most releases, but this is Star Wars! I am really looking forward to the extras on this set, but they do come in a very distant third to the audio and video qualty.
