If Thor did indeed push ~2.5 million units during the same week that SW was released, why is SW receiving the credit for breaking Blu-ray sales records?

$$$$ revenue....duh.

+ the 515,000 was north america sales.

While we're posting pics out of context...

I agree....

Lucky bastard... If you say you don't have Vader's "Nooo!" either, I will turn jealous.

I think for a catalog title is what the records refer too.

I have been trying to figure that out as well. If you figure it out, let me know...lol

They're talking about revenue, as far as I can tell, and the SW set cost $90.

Not really a fair comparison in any case, because they had different release dates and one is a box set.

But that fix causes a sound cut-out during the very nice music cue.

Perhaps because the Star Wars set cost a lot more than Thor?

How? AOTC was his first solo mission. Was he going to escape from Obi-wan steal a Jedi fighter, fly to Tatooine, kill Watto, get the explosive disabled, fly back and go where again? The lack of negative premonitions probably indicated everything was all right...

Was Obi-Wan holding him prisoner?

I read that Star Wars blu ray just broke the record for best 1 week sales. Worldwide 85 million. That seems pretty good to me i dont see why ppl are saying it didnt do that well.

O yea and Thor did have 4 days on Star Wars.

Petyr_Baelish · 09-23-2011, 08:33 PM

I haven't watched any of the movies all the way through, but I thought all the discs looked great (from what I previewed) except the phantom menace, which the DNR makes liam neesons face look weird: like hes wearing a 1/2 inch of make-up or something.

The whole reason he enlisted with the Sith was to stop people from dying, so isn't Vader's return to good a little thin?

Yoda didn't tell Anakin to go make all his connections go to the Force immediately. He said death was a natural part of life, which it is. IOW, don't fight the inevitable but didn't say to hasten it, either lol.

IOW don't fear death and don't look forward to it. Let it come on it's own. Same good advice given to those in Numenor, who ignored it, too.

He wouldn't have let him go as long as he remained his apprentice. THEN how does he free his mother? I imagine Anakin's internal goal would have been to become a Jedi Knight and that then he could do something about it. Or he could have actually been trying to buy into the Jedi idea of letting go of his attachments. Yeah,probably not.

It's been added in french as well, first thing I checked. ANH never looked and sound that good. R2 hiding behind rocks didn't bother me that much. Also, is it me or does the X-Wings thrusters are now red?

Yeah, they made them more red unlike the 2004 version where they were more pink. They also did some color corrections on Luke's lightsaber when he's training against the remote.

For a guy that said: "I had a dream I was a Jedi and I came back and freed all the slaves..." he sure did f that one up. So, he spent every minute of every day with Obi Wan? Creepy...lol

Again, he did a bang up job of letting go of his attachments. He just got more and more attached to Padme, even starts saying crazy stalker stuff about Padme in FRONT of Obi Wan in the elevator in ATOC. LOL
