Star Wars: The Complete Saga (1977-2005)

First of all, Lucas softened on the UOT towards the end, referring to them as the "classic versions" and not the "rough drafts." I seriously doubt at this point he minds if they restore the originals.

Secondly, I'm sure Disney and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has respect for Lucas, but considering they threw out most of his story treatments for the new trilogy, they are still doing things their way.

Finally, the love for the UOT isn't as small as you make it sound. Sure, there's a lot of people who either like the newer versions or don't care, but the restoration of the UOT would be COLOSSAL news for Star Wars fans and just film-fans in general. It will make money, believe me.

There might not be an announcement at this Celebration event. They might be saved for the 40th anniversary or something. But I am very confident they will be coming out in the not-too-releatively-distance future.

Totally.

Calling UOT fans a "dying breed" is ridiculous. If it was announced for Bluray tomorrow the ears of anyone who considers themselves a SW fan would perk up. Film buffs would get excited. Film historians. The average "nerd". It's a cliche but you're forgetting these aren't just movies, they are pop culture history. Owning the original cuts (the marketing alone is so easy) will forever be a big deal.

The release of the UOT on BD or any future format would be the same as every time WB releases the Wizard Of Oz and Gone With The Wind. Those films are a lot older and people still clamor for them. Same thing with the animated classic Disney films.

prediction ... this movie will squash all prior box office records .. and it will not be close.

Agreed. I also think it will be better than any of the prequels.

How long do they stream the live feed (it's still going). Is it going to be all day, for the entire three days?

It's actually four days total; there's a daily schedule on the StarWars.com homepage. Each day ends with a wrap-up (today's is at 6 PM PT), so I doubt it'll be a 24/7 feed; but there's definitely more to come thru Sunday evening.

The Complete Saga is back ordered on amazon.com for 10-14 days and bestbuy.com shows it as not being available for shipping. I guess the trailer is doing its purpose.

Disney likes making money. The UOT on home media will be like printing money. It is NOT a matter of "if" but "when." Given that Ep9 will be the last to feature the original cast, it'll happen sometime before then. It is that simple.

Are there any differences between the below 2 sets? I don't care about special features, I'm talking more about the content of the movies.

[Show spoiler]

The top one is BD/DVD; the bottom is BD only. Same content & extras.

[Scarface32]

Well it's over for today, tomorrow again at 10PT/1ET.
Tomorrow, among other things, there will be a panel for Carrie Fisher.

Amazon took it down because they were able to verify that calling the set The COMPLETE Saga is lies lies lies.

:P

No Special Features on any.
The bottom one has DVD's of the Blu-Ray Versions of the movies.
