Not even, that documentary was built from the ground up with almost zero reused footage, and had a great interview with Lucas regarding the Saga and his take on modern filmmaking. Its a damn shame as it is by far the superior of the televised OT documentaries.

From Star Wars to Jedi is probably not on there because that's the documentary where Lucas said, "A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing" and we know how much that's been used against him over the years.

Great find!

[Trekkie313]

Should I wait for the price to go down after release or just pre-order?

[Bassaholic]

I'm sure this has been asked/answered already, but are there OT special features that are included in The Complete Saga that are not included in the Original Trilogy release? If so what are they?

Thanks

I won't pre-order, mostly because they never arrive on time for me and in the case of Star Wars I want this set in my hands on Friday morning So while it will cost me more, I rather not pre-order for this particular release and just buy it at Future Shop on the 16th (they will probably have a special price anyway for it, they usually do for the first few days) If you usually get your pre-order when they are suppose to arrive then I say it's a good price and go for it.

The OT has only 3 discs (the movies ONLY). The only bonus features that MIGHT be included in the OT set are the audio commentaries (I don't know for sure though). The OT set will not include anything else that is in The Complete Saga (Deleted Scenes, Documentaries, Interviews, etc.)

$30 less? That probably won't happen until sometime in 2012.

There is Black Friday and the weeks leading up to Christmas...and I highly doubt it will stay at $89.99 during release week. There were rumors it would be $69.99.

Considering how much entertainment you are getting with this set, I don't think the price is high at all.

Barnes and Noble's site has a sale going on today and you can preorder it for $69.99.

That is true if you are a big fan I am just a casual fan, so I'll wait for a deal as I don't need to have it right away. I wouldn't even watch it right away anyways due to other movies/series I'm working through.

I had the Harrison Ford cutout from Temple of Doom and I threw it out. Yeah, I regret that one too.

So I take it this confirms that none of the existing special features from the PT or the OT DVD releases will be included, except for possibly the deleted scenes from the prequels. Bummer.

Just reported the lower price to amazon, suggest others do so as well. I already have my pre-order in, but it would be nice to save 20 bucks.

Here's the B&N URL once again: http://video.barnesandnoble.com/DVD/...e/24543742180/

That pretty much confirms it then.
