George Lucas on Star Wars and Indy Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

rybev · 03-22-2008, 04:23 PM

The British monthly movie magazine has an interview with George Lucas in this months issue and asks him about Star Wars and Indy in Hi-Def.
He says it will happen and things are more positive now the war is over but it's still early days and suggests 2 years to wait when more people are "on-board" with Hi-Def.

I realyy can't see it being 2 years.
We all know Blu-Ray will grow this year and even more over Christmas 2008. I think it's more likely to be sometime 2009 possibly towards October/November.

It will be 2 years or more, if Lucas has his way. Remember how long it took them release Star Wars and Indy on DVD?

I see it being two years as well

yeah i'm sure we'll see Speilbergs' Jurassic Park, E.T & Jaws before Starwars/Indy.

sj001 · 03-22-2008, 04:42 PM

I definitely believe it will be AT LEAST 2 years, possibly more... remember, on DVD, the Star Wars trilogy was one of the last major movies to be released.

Maxpower alluded to Indiana Jones later this year. I think we'll AT LEAST get the 4th film on Blu in 4Q.

As far as Star Wars...I think the most logical guess would be when the new TV series hits...

As we all suspected Lucas will be holding off until greater marker penetration. In this months "Total Film" he was asked the following:

Will we see Indy and Star Wars series in hi-fef soon?

That'll probably happen. We're going to wait until Blu Ray gets a little more established, because it's only just won the war. It's got a year or two to get some actual fission going

aiman04 · 03-23-2008, 11:41 PM

Yeah, maybe 2009. But I'm sure we will get Indy 4 on blu-ray in November.

BTW, this has been discussed here:

Bullshit George, get them out there! Give people that haven't went HD the reason to GO HD. I'm serious, huge freakin instore screens showing Star Wars or Indy on Blu. People would have a shit-fit!

Or maybe not.
