You're my only hope....

This?

Still #1 and probably will stay in the top 10 for several weeks.
I'd say less than 1% of the fan base cancelled their order, which won't make a dent in overall sells.

It might be but I can't access the picture because I'm not a member.... If you have time I'd appreciate it if you could post the picture itself.

You say that like its a good thing. Some people will just take whatever they can get, I guess. Even if it does suck.

This is a screen cap posted over at AVS. This is one of the major issues from ANH that bothered me. Especially with such a big character like R2D2, which is in about, well every shot in the movie. Look at the horrible blue push.

No, its only about half of the characters of the actual poster.

[kristoffer]

Yes since the 04 DVDs ANH has taken on a blue / pinkish hue...

Yup, that nasty blue push runs throughout all three OT films, just like it did on the dvds.

Instead of providing real fixes on PQ Lucas was too busy adding crap in.

You´ve got to love how PT Anakin and all the PT characters take greatest precedence in this image from the UK box and the US box. That said, this UK image is a lot better than the US version, Han, Luke and Leia are more prominent in this one and not stuck in the top right corner like they are in the US one. Perhaps the PT didn´t do as well in the UK as it did in the US?

The way George with this blu-ray release is targeting the younger demographic by giving precedence to the PT, all in order to milk a new generation, while ignoring the old fans of the OT that he´s already milked numerous times, is pretty blatant and somewhat cynical if you ask me.

A guy on AVS posted some full-res captures from what's supposedly the blu-ray a while back:

Ya. There's no difference. They just took a sharpen filter to it. Big whoop.

Why does Leia look like a grinning evil idiot?

That artwork is godawful trash. I'm wondering how a modern camera is able to take a picture of it, as not even light should be able to escape something that sucks so hard.

It really is awful, isn´t it. Lian Neeson in particular keeps on drawing my eye, his face looks wrong.

EDIT:

OMG, I just saw George there on the right looking very smug. I´m pretty sure he shouldn´t be in that picture, seeing as hes not part of the Star Wars universe, unless I missed something... Had anybody else noticed him?

...before I read any comments I saw the screenshot and the blue push
was the first thing I noticed...it just doesn't look right.

Incidentally, my friend has a huge poster of this put up in his room.

Yeah, it was really obvious to me as well, just like the green tint of Fellowship of the Ring was but many don´t see it/aren´t at all bothered by it. The changed Vader scene in ROTJ has kind of overshadowed the colour issues of this blu-ray set (the blue tint throughout the three OT films, the incorrect lightsaber colours, snow on Hoth being blue, etc etc) but for me its yet another major reason why this time, I´m not gonna bite.
