Star Wars, and Toy Story?

[BluRayNick]

I'am probably beating a dead horse here bringing up Star Wars but is the entire Star Wars saga coming out in 2009 or 2010?

Now as for Toy Story I have heard winter 2009 for toy story 1 and spring 2010 for Toy Story 2 that way they are both out before Toy Story 3 hits theatres summer 2010? And I've heard both are in 3D format?

Star Wars - Five years at least

Toy Story - they are re-releasing them in 3D so probably sometime in 2010.

damn are you serious why 5 years before Star Wars is out on Blu ray?

Remember how long Georgie took to release the original 3 on DVD. Think how reluctant he was to release Indiana Jones 4 on Blu, keeping us wondering if he actually would. It's not going to be anytime soon, Nick. Don't hold your breath.

george sounds like a tool! I figured for sure we'd have all 6 epidoes by the end of 2010! Whats the deal with Indiana Jones 4? What about older horror movies like all the halloweens, jasons, and freddy's? I think the 1st jason comes out in feb, but i may be mistaken!

100% correct. Georgie boy is going to milk the BD release of Star Wars for every penny he can get.

Ah, remember the days when George was...EVIL! for not releasing "Phantom Menace" right away?
(Rather than the theory that he might've been using his time, say, finishing CGI Deleted-scenes for the DVD, that wouldn't have been on the VHS or VCD?)

Similarly, I don't recall any "reluctance" to release Indy 4, as opposed to Paramount's "reluctance" to convert the entire Old-Trilogy Boxset, as this was two months after their re-conversion back to Blu, and their limited resources were being spent on New releases?
What IS it about Lucas that brings out the loopy conspiracy theorist in his fans?*
(* - Well, mean, we already know what it is, that was just a rhetorical question... )

Oh, if you want to see Toy Story in 1080, just rent "The Pixar Story" on the Wall-E bonus disk.

yah I mean King kong is on Blu Ray. Maybe we will get Toy Story soon enough!

No. He just isn't going to rush to release something on a format that isn't widely adopted yet.

Why spend the time and money, when the format isn't widely owned as of yet.

I doubt it will be as long as it took for it on DVD. But it will be a while.

Star Wars: Clone Wars and Indiana Jones at least gave him sales figures to go by.

Don't expect Star Wars before 2011 at the very least. I putting my money for Christmas release 2011, a box set with all 6 movies and tons of special features. I am hoping GL will get off his high horse and actualy include The Holliday Special as a bonus in the box set, would be very nice if he did that.

I'd be ok if he just included the Boba Fett intro cartoon from it.

Yeah, I saw it again this back holliday, I got a terrible copy of Holliday Special, I watch it every year at this time, take's me back to 1978 when I was 10 years old.

If the bluray releases of the original trilogy include the crappy CGI additions, I'm afraid I'll take a pass. I'm sure they will as George seems to somehow think they're an improvement. I think the reason the original three were so much better than the "prequel" trilogy was b/c he didn't have nearly as much creative control. Imagine how good they could have been if a reputable screenwriter had written them!

[Midnightsailor]

I'm waiting for the original theatricals. I suppose I'll be holding my breath for a loonnngggg time.

Well could be a long time, I was actualy surprise he release them in DVD format a few years back. I love watching Star Wars in it's original form every May 25th.

Yeah, but keep in mind that they weren't properly formatted for today's home video standards.

I have the DVD's with the original versions included as Bonus Material. As well as the old $250 Laserdisc boxset. Don't even watch those cuts anymore. I just prefer the new cuts pretty much as a whole.

I find the new versions to be my preferred version. About the only change I don't like is the one in Empire. Where Luke's line to R2-D2 was changed from "You're lucky you don't taste very good" to "You're lucky you got out of there." Everything else I'm happy with. And fully support the original cuts never being released again.

I was actually annoyed he caved and released them on DVD at all. Since the VHS versions were to be the last time the original cuts would ever be released again. They're nice extras to have though.

[RiseDarthVader]

We wont be getting a HD version of the original untouched versions of the original trilogy ever! The one he released in 2006 was from the LaserDisc versions of the movie. So the only hi-def versions we will get is the "remastered" versions. I just hope he saved the High Definition 2K scans of that.

Edit: also does anyone know when they will re-lease the Indiana Jones movies in a boxset on Blu-ray? I have been holding out on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hoping for a boxset soon.

i predict star wars on blu in 2012.

and then again in 2014.

and then again in 2017.

Yes, he is a tool. A big one. The original Halloween is already available on Blu and a rather nice transfer considering it was low budget horror film released in 1978. The first Friday the 13 is due in Feb and you can order an import of Nightmare on Elm Street from Canada on the Amazon Canada site.
