Star Wars: The Complete Saga (1977-2005)

September 2011...guess I better start saving....

[Jumpman]

Don't those trailers just get you? I mean, it's only a minute and 27 seconds and I'm ready to pop in my DVDs and watch the Saga right now.

The Power of Star Wars....

I hope everyone isn't too overly impressed with a 9 Disc set from France. I mean it is 6 films, and the fact the early news stated IMPRESSIVE as part of the annoucement, please LUCAS you are releasing one cut of each film more than likely and we are supposed to bow down.

Also the fact that the ORIGINAL NEGATIVES were destroyed etc, is really out there and odd. First off somene like Lucas that has friends in the industry that are all about film preservation and Lucas himself didn't care enough try to preserve his original films would be something he would regret.

It's all 6 movies on Blu-Ray with 30 Hours of Extras including Deleted Scenes, Alternate Takes, And Such.

That's pretty damn impressive no matter what. No need for different versions. They're superfluous .

I hope that isn't an accurate representation of what the blu-rays might look like (ignoring obvious compression on amazon). What I am refering to is the unchanged problems with the lightsabers in the OT. Vader's saber was still pink and contrast problems seem obviously present still.

I guess it doesn't really surprise me if this is what it will be, afterall it's unlikely they'd go back and recolour time it all again after 2004 DVD restoration.

Yup,I agree!

Also,better start saving for that 3D Tv,cause the 3D versions will only be a couple of years away,I guess!

[Jumpman]

...and the bickering continues....

Let's wait and really see what the deal is. Nothing's been announced yet.

The sabers from Jedi (crossing in front of Palpatine's face) look about the same as the '04 DVDs. But of course, the footage from that trailer may not be indicative of the Blu-Ray masters.

Could this not just be Amazon Fr jumping the gun on the announcement. I don't mean leaking, but trying to get the product pages up and just making assumptions.

The trailer wasn't created for Amazon. That would be the official trailer for the set.

I never trust that foreign stuff. I felt the same way.

The only scene where his saber was pink was the ESB segment, it was always pink there. Return of the Jedi is where it was really pink before and now it is red.
