I'd much rather a slimmer set, but I am interested in owning this if all of the extra material we've seen over the years is all included. I've been kicking myself since 2011 for selling my prequel DVDs, for example.

You've been kicking yourself for 8 years for selling things that you can easily buy again for just a few bucks each?

If you bought all these movies individually at $30 apiece then it would cost you $270. This set is cheaper. how is it pricey?

Because $30 each would also be pricey.

Yes.

The UK set is listed at £180, I think that is a bargain for these 9 movies in 4K/BD with a bonus disc for each. £20 a movie seems pretty good to me.

The question is will the Blu-ray’s be the older transfer and the UHD’s be the newest transfer (what’s shown on Disney+)?

philrock90 · 12-21-2019, 05:23 PM

Why do they have to include the blu rays of each film when there's a blu ray boxset already due to come out

I'd like to know this as well. I haven't gone UHD yet. If the BD's are new transfers I may pull the plug. If not, I'll wait.

Many already have Episode 8, no need to pay twice. Plus the packaging of the set tends to damage discs, resulting in repurchase.

TheSweetieMan · 12-21-2019, 05:41 PM

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but if they're using the same masters from Disney+, the original three films and the prequels are going to look like shit.

Just make sure you all have your expectations in check in case they go that route.

The lack of any real HDR didn't bother me, but there's DNR and EE galore.

Highly Doubt Disney will offer, let alone even bother to put the remastered versions of any film from Disney+ on a regular bluray disc. They're most likely going to be the older 2011 discs like usual.

Disney is not known for remastered blus.

But they did release remastered DVDs when they first released the Star Wars movies on Blu-ray. So it could go either way.

They did remastered Blu-rays for The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. There's no reason to think they won't do it for Star Wars. Especially since the old release wasn't even done by Disney.

Each of the recent MCU steelbooks were $10-$13.33 this week with BB sales. You haven't been paying attention. Target had about six different B2G1 free sales on all movies during 2019 which make $30 movies into $20 apiece.

The singles will go on sale eventually. And by eventually I mean as little as two months, as in the most recent example.

These box sets have become largely pointless. They exist to make money off of day1 people. Otherwise you can simply buy the individual movies that you want, and for much cheaper.

That is extremely disheartening to hear. Ugh. Why can’t they just do these epic, all-world movies the right way and keep the DNR paint gun in the cabinet? Great, now I can’t preorder but that’s OK. It’s not like they’ll sell out anyways. Probably wait for reviews since there is no way I’m putting up with heavy processing or other stupid stuff. Freeging Disney.

Gold Ranger · 12-21-2019, 06:47 PM

Yes, but not the disney sets. And especially not Star Wars.
The bonus features are usually the biggest draw. They get released once and never again.
That's why the Infinity Saga exclusive was ridiculous. That one outlet was the only way to get that one bonus disk.
And it still didn't have the all the Phase 3 bonus features.
To have everything for phase three, you need to import Far From Home, Phase 3 part one and phase 3 part 2 in addition to infinity saga

King Crimson · 12-21-2019, 06:56 PM

Unless this set has exclusive special features, the Skywalker saga ended at Episode 6 and will happily wait for singles.

Gold Ranger · 12-21-2019, 06:56 PM

Here's hoping that the Blu-ray bonus disks in the UK version aren't region locked!

I concur!
I would have used the thumbs up, but it seems lile it was removed.

Vangeli · 12-21-2019, 06:58 PM

Disney recently re-released all Star Wars movies on Blu-ray after the Fox deal and they’re the same old Blu-rays but with disc art to match the newer Disney discs, I assume these will be the exact Blu-rays included with the UHDs.
