Star Wars on Blu-ray!

Heres the new poster

You'd have to be a die hard fan so sit through Phantom Menance at the cinema again.. even if it is in 3D.

That poster just looks fake.

The 3D doesn't look like any Star Wars related, although thinking it could be the 3D font they use.

Also thought they'd update Yoda to the CGi one?

That Yoda is the CGI one, just looks a bit different on that poster.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 3D Poster Improves On The Original

Who’s missing? Little Anakin! The littlest version of Darth Vader, who was front and center in the original poster isn’t featured on the poster above, nor is Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn, C-3PO, Jar Jar or Natalie Portman as Padme/Queen Amidala, all of whom were featured on the original. Cutting down on the characters featured on the poster not only eliminates clutter, but it also pushes the attention toward some of the stronger aspects of the film (and away from Jar Jar). They also eliminated the random lens flare effect, which is an upgrade as it gives the poster a clean, crisp look and makes the most of the color.

Yeah, it's much better than the original. It focuses on what was good in the film and eliminates some of the worst, like Jar Jara and Anakin.

The lightsabers don't look right. They should have done separate one sheets instead of one shyte one....

[The Apocalypse]

Yoda looks like he's staring at something with extreme boredom.

No sign of Padme either. Need some eye candy

[bttfiii]

TPM was never about Darth Maul, why does he take up 40% of the poster?

i agree it looks fake and cheap

[Mavrick]

It's obvious GL is trolling the fanbase for being such complete fcuking c u next tuesday's towards his daughter.

While I do agree that the lack of Jar Jar and Anakin is a plus, I don't agree that the "3D poster (still looks fake)" looks better.

I like the hand drawn poster a lot more, mainly because it doesn't look like a monkey was let lose on it with Photoshop!

That 3D poster is garbage. The original hand drawn poster actually shows effort, and sets the tone for the Star Wars saga.

I'm not 100% sure if I'll travel to a larger VUE to see it, but I would see it again at my local cinema just to relive my childhood I guess. I must have seen TPM 3 times during its theatrical run.

Agree. I don't really like the 3D poster either.

Well this sucks.

Corel WinDVD Pro which I bought to watch the boxset stopped working when I updated it. AACS key check error.

Been through support and they've agreed to refund my money because I submitted an RMA within 30 days.

Glad to get the money back but I'm left with an unwatchable boxset.

Have to fall back on PowerDVD 8 which plays everything else.

Yoda seems like he is sleepy..
Someone give him the eye sleep patch

I think I'm going to put these discs away and watch them over Christmas. Surely by then the playback software will have been updated.

It sucks because this is the reason I switched from PowerDVD to TotalMedia Theatre in the first place.

I thought it was more of a bored look.

Mine did work. That's the problem. I've watched them all + the extras.
I decided to download the latest update which broke it.

Anyway, they've refunded me now including the tax. Still trying to decide whether to keep it as I'd have to buy the latest version of PowerDVD - the version I have came free with the Blu-ray drive.

Hope you have better luck.

[Albatross365]

Offered £50 for it so I sold it. Bought it for £60 so not too much of a loss.

I read it's linked to the shitty remakes/reboots which I cannot stand -and of course it just reminds me of the 'new' addition to the end of Return of The Jedi. He's done much more of course but that 1st thing is the last straw -the last thing has simply come back to haunt me in 1080p and it's an image I can barely remove from my mind. Maybe people with the attention span of a gnat who think these films are a 6 part 'saga' can live with it but I can't.

If someone had told me 5 years ago I'd get Blu-rays and not keep them and revert to DVDs I'd of laughed -but this is the 2nd time of course. Last time being the ****ing awful Blu-ray of THX-1138. An abomination.

Anyway, I've ripped my 3 untinkered with LE DVDs and shoved them on a 25GB Blu-ray. So at least I can pretend I have Blu-rays

I'm happy with my Laserdisc to DVD of THX-1138 so I can be happy with my original Star Wars DVD9s. I have no other choice.

I have certainly felt the Force of Lucas's mind tricks. What a **** he is. He has stole my memories.

This is my fear also, he will ruin/has ruined SW. Hey I am a big fan of THX1138, do you mind posting me a copy of the LD-2-dvd edition? I'll pay postage

When the 6-film boxset is £29.99 around xmas this year I may decide to buy them.
