Star Wars: The Complete Saga (1977-2005)

[DetroitSportsFan]

There's a reason why I'm importing the UK release.

I'm still unsure as to which packaging is better, I much prefer the look of the US version, in the book style package, however, I know many people complain that the discs get damaged in that packaging style.

I agree with this! Like the Alien Anthology from the US, I love the style of it.

Is that a special special special edition version?

Ahh a cell comes with the set?! I hadn't noticed that!

Exactly! But many people complain about it, so maybe the UK packaging is the one to go for? I've still got my pre-order for the UK set, still contemplating whether to cancel or not, mainly due to cost, it is a pretty expensive set, and also, I want to see some pics of both the UK and US packaging first!

I think they will take a defining scene from each movie, so there will be 6 in total but only 1 will be included with each set. I can't see them producing loads of different ones and adding a description for each scene.

Duel of the fates clearly will be the scene used from ROTS.

What scene do you guys think they will use for the other 5? (If indeed they do.)

The Exclusive Limited Edition Star Wars Sentiype comes with on-line orders.

Duel of Fates was of course from The Phantom Menace. The track played over Revenge of the Sith is Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan. Hopefully we'll have a mixture with the senitypes.

It's not an ACTUAL film cell that was used during production. It's merely a recreation of one that was used. The actual cell is more than likely still in Lucas's vault at Skywalker Ranch.

Basically, anyone who orders online will get the same reproduced film cell, and not a unique one. You're not owning a piece of history, merely, a copy of a piece of history.

Hmm, if you're really on the fence then maybe wait (shocking suggestion I know!) until it's out and watch some vids of each THEN get whichever looks best . I'm definitely sticking with my pre-order of the UK one from Sainsbury's for £54 lol.

Hey guys, I know that Amazon and play.com advertise that from them you'll get a film cell but are they the only retailers to give them out? I've pre-ordered with Sainsbury's and they don't advertise that you get one but it is an online retailer..?

I have a feeling of what the answer will be but worth asking .

Asda, HMV, Zavvi, are also doing it Tesco have a picture of the film cell but it doesnt say, might be worth firing off an email to Sainsburys and finding out for sure?

Forget that...just seen it on Sainsburys http://www.sainsburysentertainment.c...duct=E11003686 £72.99 though...

As it's already been said, these are recreated film cells, not originals, so they'll most likely be important scenes, I'll try some guesses, open to different suggestions

The Phantom Menace:- Duel between Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon vs Darth Maul, Pod racing or possibly Battle on the plains of Naboo

Attack of the Clones:- Coruscant at night with Neon lights or Geonosis arena

Revenge of the Sith:- Anakin duels Obi-Wan on Mustafar, if another one, battle above Coruscant

A New Hope:- Luke on Tatooine or Death Star Trench Run

The Empire Strikes Back:- AT-AT walkers, shot of Cloud City, or Luke vs Darth Vader

Return of the Jedi:- Rancor in Jabbas Palace, Above the Sarlacc pit, Ewoks on Endor (if scene fixed, Luke and Vader crossing Lightsabers across the Emperor)

Or others I cant remember, I've tried to pick scenes with more colour and scenes widely detailed i.e no single mug shots. Least this is whay I possibly think

Ah they never had that edition before! It must have been added more recently.

Annoying how they do have 2 versions, probably to stop people like me who managed to pre-order for £54 getting it!

[Kossjak]

Is it confirmed that the UK Complete saga is region-free?

[gettodamoofies]

^ No news has been released about region coding for any country as far as I'm aware.

Being a worldwide release and taking Fox's Alien Anthology as an example one would hope that it would be region free however it's not a certainty being that Fox do occasionally lock discs for particular releases even though they have worldwide distribution rights to the film.

I can live without the mass produced film cell for a £13 saving but I am sure it will ship with one especially as it seems any online order gets one.

I can live without it as well . I'll probably eventually get around to emailing them to check.

Care to elaborate...?

[NHassell18]

I was at the Empire Big Screen movie convention over the weekend, and they had the transfer on show throughout the whole day, so went and had a watch.
