Star Wars: The Complete Saga (1977-2005)

[The Driver]

For those asking about subtitles of the first three films: Look here

The transfers (audio/video) of the first three films sound and look great.

Pity about the continuing changes but there's not much we can do about that except not buy this release.

I haven't posted here for ages, but I just had to share how fantastic I think this set is (i started with Episode 4 this morning and I'm now on The Empire Strikes Back). The audio is amazing (A New Hope the best I've ever heard it sound) and the video is just as stunning. R2D2's blue bits are the right colour again (unlike the DVDs)!

I've tended to be more accepting about Lucas's changes to the movies over the years, although I think it's a shame the originals aren't available for those that want them.

Enjoy!

One thing that bugs me most in TPM is that we clearly see the Jedi super speed at the begining of the movie, yet Obi Wan doesn't use it at the end to get through the red sheilds as they open and close He could have saved Qui Gon's life dammit!

And I've always wondered why they idnt just poison the drinks they gave Qui Gon and Obi Wan rather than use a highly visable gas

The entire fight at the end of The Phantom Menace happens at super-speed. In reality it was all done and dusted in twenty-three seconds.

As for the poison it's been a much brought up point, why not just blow up the shuttle in the hangar? Or place a large explosive inside the Protocol Droid? Or blast them out of an airlock? Why did they even open the door? The Jedi can't hold their breath forever (they did have those little breathing things (like the ones in James Bond) though: which they didn't use until later....

Also, there is no sound in space

All those points +1

I asked the same question in the US thread, think I opened a pandoras box...

But in all fairness it doesn't stop me enjoying the films. The same way Rambo taking down 30 armed men with 1 bullet doesn't stop me enjoying those films

[tigertron]

Looks like I'll be getting mine tomorrow. Cheers for that, Amazon...

[Wes Blu-ray]

I'm still to order mine.

I was originally exstatic about this release...not so sure now.

If I do order, I'll probably wait until it goes under £50.

Anyone know how much The Original Trilogy Blu Ray is in HMV and Sainsburys?

[Wes Blu-ray]

Check online Phil

That's the Saga set, not the Original Trilogy set...

No it shouldn't either especially when you think that Rambo's gun would probably be out of ammo in five seconds and the scenes lasts for ten minutes....

Most continuity errors are ones filmmakers are well aware of they just try and get away from it, hoping it won't detract from our viewing pleasure. One of my favourites is Stander a film set during the late 70's and early 80's which features flatscreen televisions in a boutique. Beautiful!

As for the Star Wars gaffs they're pretty bad in my opinion, stuff like the blue lid of the lifepod been changed to grey in one shot and it's back to blue in a later scene or the CGI Artoo rock just shoudn't happen when the people working on the films must know them inside out.

Sorry, Sains £33, HMV £33.99.

[tigertron]

If I don't get it by tomorrow afternoon after I finish work, I'm just going to go out and buy it from Tesco.

[hobgoblin]

Review of original trilogy is up at the digital fix.

[philrock90]

Thanks i would get the complete collection but at the moment i can't afford it and im not too bothered about the extras

I picked the set up from Tesco, my friend works there so got discount so it just cost me £54

I'm loving it so far, the delteted scenes are fascinating to watch(the Cantina scene is full of Enlglish accents, it's great) and the quality seems superb for the most part

Happy fanboy so far...

I've yet to finish TPM. I think I came in my pants just from seeing and hearing the Menu screen
