same here. one thing I think is happening is that the post office is not scanning it but it is on it`s way and when it gets close to your area then they will scan it and then it will say what day it will arrive at your house. the reason I say this is because it happened to me on my order from bbc for 4k seven worlds. it was shipped on the 13th of march and it didn`t get scanned till it was 500 miles from my house and the date that it suppose to be at my house is the 30th of march.

That is exactly what happened with my order. No movement on the tracking at all until it showed up

Why is there even DMC discussion in this thread? This is literally about the box set and everyone is crapping it up with things completely not on topic.

[Oarsman05]

Box set order still sitting in Pre-Ordered status, really hoping it ships soon.

"The Making of 'Star Wars'" (1977) (49:01)
"The Empire Strikes Back: SPFX" (1980) (48:05)
"Star Wars Spoofs" documentary (2011) (97:32)
Concept Art Galleries for Episode I-VI
Maybe the Boba Fett Holiday Special cartoon easter egg?

Better hold onto your Prequel trilogy DVDs and Star Wars Trilogy DVD Bonus disc.

While nice to have them on disc, these can be easily found on YouTube.

Let the people be excited for their movies!

[Jonas17]

Can you tell me if Episodes 1,2,3,7,8,9 and Rogue One have French Canadian language track on the 4K discs please?

Chronological order, including Solo and Rogue One.

I suspect they did shoot a scene that explained it, but for whatever reason felt it distracted from the main story. Sure, not everything needs explaining in any fantastical film - that's one of the best things about Star Wars. This one was a big jump for people though. Plus what he did was hardly family friendly fare - lol.

At the very least we should have had

[Show spoiler]how Palpatine's soul survived and how he summoned the Exogol natives to help him come back with their cloning etc

. I just refuse to believe they hadn't shot something that lays it out as its so central to fans of the OT in particular.

oh well. I still think the film is largely terrific however. I read the 'Trevorrow version' and whilst it had some good stuff, I didn't see how it would have been better than what we got. Tons of the film is cathartic and moving, in ways I didn't expect, but seemed essential. Most of it felt pretty right to me.

The rest of my discs didn't show up today, so should definitely be here tomorrow.

What order is everyone watching these in?

For now, my plan is 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and then R1 to finish.

Sold my digital copies for $85. So I got the 8 episodes I didn’t have in 4K for around $80. Not bad.

If the Duel of the Fates leaks are true, it seems like it did a much better job integrating various aspects of the overall series to bring everything to a conclusion. Coruscant-based government for prequels, Mortis for Clone Wars, no focus on retconning/"damage" controlling Episode VIII, etc. It's entirely possible that the actual movie that resulted could have been awful, but the plot points themselves seem more coherent.

Mine shipped last week and arrived yesterday

[vp_ortiz]

I really wanted to get the Best Buy exclusive but ordering outside the US is difficult and eBay sellers add almost $100 to the price. Might just order it from Amazon UK but it won't have the digital copy

I'd assumed

[Show spoiler] Exegol was a kind of save point for Palpatine and after being killed by Anakin, he made his way there and through 30+ years of having the sith cult build that fleet and a succession of failed clone bodies including Snoke(s), he seduced Ben Solo to the dark side from afar. Once the Snoke persona had fulfilled it's purpose, and he was back with a formidable fleet, he made that transmision (The dead speak!). He's lying to Kylo Ren in the opening of Episode IX when he says he wants Rey dead. He's betting his own granddaughter can beat Leia & Han's kid, and is hoping that Rey killing Kylo will sway her to the dark side permanently.

ROS is currently 29.95 and ineligible for extra discounts (without a bit of help) though it appears ROS may be $32 once it is discount eligible and full price. They have all of them for preorder.

Using the best deal ONCE you are a full fledged member, in theory you could net all 10 4K items for $160+tax (neglecting that many people already seem to have SW8 so subtract $14). At this point getting them on release day is not going to happen

2) Slips nearly always come on new release items, but even that's not 100% guarantee and the older an item is the less likely (though I've gotten slips on some items years after release). Pretty much like anybody that ships slipcovers are a vulnerable, optional, non priority at the front end so preshipping and trans-shipping chances of dents/dings/tears/etc are always a possibility.



Not if you do it correctly at least on the US side and aren't planning on throwing the NonSW away, the Canadian site is substantially less of a deal. Go to the deals section and read the DMC Main thread -- at least post 1 and 2 a few times. A lot depends on if you have any interest at all in Non SW, Non 4K items or interest in selling the initial batch on.

The cheapest you could get through the US club initial enrollment/required commitment/ then buy up with all 10 SW 4K titles would be around $210-225. All this discounts those states that pay sales tax
1) 6 non SW/non 4K at signup (5 for $1 and 1st commitment for 11.95) for $13 with 2 required purchases at a minimum of 19.95ea (hard to do at the 19.95 level, but not impossible though most people end up with two 24.95 items instead)
2) Wait for a "Buy 1 Get 60% off the Rest" offer -- 10 SW 4K titles for approx $161 ($35 + 9*14)

If you need and want those 1st 6-8 non 4K titles like most of the Exclusives (20000 Leagues, Romney Marsh, Swiss Family Rob, Mighty Ducks, Saludos Amigos, etc) then it's a double win. If you have zero interest in those initial items and just buy items for resale then it's not hard to make a small profit on those even without a lot of effort and still selling well below list price, then fold that bit into the savings of the Star Wars

How long after signing up do I get the 60% offer?
