Does it include all the special features (making of, commentaries, etc...)?

Yes. The two trilogy sets, and the individual Steelbooks, don't include the special features discs. But the Complete Collection has everything.

Just making sure its the right boxset

Watching this unboxing video, and finding out that they didn't include posters of every episode in that booklet is very disappointing!

I assume it was ranking Empire fourth that got this guy banned, right?

Fanbois trying to change history and their conspiracy theories. Ugh.

Kyle is a solid dude who has his bona fides in fandom and the industry in general. He is definitely not a hater or just another fanboy. If he was told that the critical acclaim for The Last Jedi may not have been all that it appeared to be, then he's worth paying attention to. It can be folly to discount someone just because they're telling you something that you don't want to hear. And I speak as someone who likes TLJ a lot.

Except for the movies as they originally came out, you mean .

Yup, took me a few years, but I think I now have everything that was released on disk. It sucks that the "complete" collection doesn't include all previous bonus features!

Sorry, but unless there's actually evidence of this, it's a ridiculous conspiracy theory. People were claiming Disney was paying off critics to give bad reviews of DC films too. Oh, until Wonder Woman got glowing reviews.

Solo didn't get that high of marks, either. It's Fresh but at 71%, hardly the percentage we should expect if critics were being paid off. And from my opinion on the quality of the film, that sounds about right.

And as PeterTHX pointed out, Wrinkle in Time would surely have raked in the positive reviews, because that would combine the theories that there's a Disney payout and a big "SJW" push giving false-positives to films that don't deserve it.

Hit it at the 1 hour 21 minute mark. From Kyle Newman's mouth: "All the filmmakers I know that won't talk about it publicly. All the people I know internally. There's all these people that won't...even journalists that gave it positive reviews they're like 'I do that because I need to maintain my access.' Like privately, there's a lot of people."

Kyle was then asked to clarify the statement about those reviews being phony reviews: "One hundred percent. I can't name them, but yes, one hundred percent."

That's not a conspiracy theory but first hand knowledge coming from someone who liked The Last Jedi but had his issues with it. I loved TLJ, but I'll also take Kyle Newman's word as 100% gospel.

Just watched RETURN OF THE JEDI as part of my most recent Saga viewing, and enjoyed the heck out of it. Funny how this installment can either be a trainwreck, for me, or incredibly fun. Right now, I'm kind of in an "all STAR WARS is good STAR WARS" frame of mind, so that helped... but it's also interesting that this is the first time I've seen it since SOLO (which I enjoyed but found forgettable) and LAST JEDI (which was my favorite STAR WARS since EMPIRE). I thought both recent flicks informed nicely on RETURN OF THE JEDI, from Han 'n' Lando interactions, to all the Luke 'n' Leia "you have that power too" stuff. I also, quite frankly, loved knowing where Luke was going from here; I thought it made his journey even deeper.

Also, it's my first time through the Saga since upgrading from an OPPO BDP-83 to the OPPO UDP-203. While the original trilogy on Blu-ray will always be vexed by spotty quality control and frozen grain, I found the up-tic in detail and sound quality to be stunning. Surprised at how much better it looked.

Really felt like a kid again, watching this movie today for the millionth time, and can't wait to watch FORCE AWAKENS next. Reveling in this Golden Age of STAR WARS we're living through!

I have always loved Return Of The Jedi. Never had a problem with the Ewoks. I have also come to enjoy the Prequels a lot more recently. Loved TFA, Rogue One and Solo but am a bit iffy on The Last Jedi.

Return of the Jedi was my favorite as a kid because of the fight between Vader and Luke. It’s hard to choose which one I enjoy the most these days. I usually watch them back to back to back when I get the Star Wars itch.

The Luke-Vader stuff from ROTJ is actually the one part that holds up well enough to be solid, IMO.

It's my favorite part of the entire Star Wars saga outside of the Battle of Hoth and the asteroid field.

Age hasn't been kind to the special effects in the prequels but it has been kind to them in regards to the story they tell. I've always enjoyed them but I found myself enjoying them even more on a marathon rewatch before The Last Jedi hit theaters. I think the stuff I want out of these stories evolved over time. As a whole that trilogy tells a great back story that also benefits from the thrill of discovery (the first time we see R2D2 and C-3PO, the first time we see Obi-Wan, the moment Anakin walked away from his mother while we, the audience, knows what the future holds for him).

I think the hate for those movies has diminished in recent years. I see a lot less vitriol and a lot more folks saying that they really enjoy those movies.

I follow some Star Wars blogs on tumblr (I know, right?) that have helped deepened my appreciation for the prequels and made my love for Rogue One even more passionate. A lot of folks will do little screengrab edits, where they compare scenes and point out parallels in all the movies (including the new stuff) and it helps make the rougher spots of the prequels go down a little easier.

I do think some of the prequel hate is dying down, though it seems to be shifting towards the new movies instead. I wish we could say we didn't like Rose Tico as a character, without people attacking Kelly Marie Tran on social media like they do.

But I do think you're starting to see more fans that are embracing all the movies and the two modern animated shows as one big, happy (dysfunctional) family and are easing up on the hate.
