Star Wars films officially coming to Blu-Ray
- Thread starter Dream
- Start date
I take it they finally came out on DVD at some point? Frankly at some point I just stopped caring.
The Star Wars original trilogy dvds were first released as a trilogy set on dvd, but they weren't released as seperate movies until a few years later. I imagine they will do the same thing with the Blu-Ray saga set. It's a good way for Lucas to make as much money as he can.
They were rushing it a little with the first dvds, which is why there were problems with it. They should do much better job with the Blu-Ray set this time. The lightsabers coloring should easily be fixed and John William's score hopefully be heard again when the X-Wings first dive down to attack the Death Star. Messing up William's score at that moment was what bugged me the most about ANH SE.
So I assume this version of TPM will include things like the CGI Yoda that matches the one from the other prequel films? (Did that ever make it to standard DVD, by the way?)
They've already finished all the effects work for him. I don't see why they wouldn't replace the original TPM Yoda, which still looks horrible.
Nope. The new TMP CGI Yoda was only shown in the Revenge of the Sith dvd extras and they showed clips of him in the Star Wars In Concert events.
^ Ah. Cool.
I know it's a broken record but I would be more excited for the new versions if the original versions were made available in a decent release. Beyond my own selfish reasons for wanting them I think Lucas does himself a disservice by diminishing the extraordinary things he and his crew were able to accomplish 30 years ago.
I don't think so, no.
It'll be the last thing he does, because he knows a lot of people want it. He'll want to milk them for a myriad of other versions before he actually puts out something they want rather than something they have to settle for.
I really wish I didn't care. I mean Star Wars is coming out in 1080p! How f'n awesome is that? And yet there is that lingering bit always there to taint it.
The unaltered OT movies are already out on dvd. Yeah, the quality isn't very good (They are on the second disc and treated as bonus features), but you can get them if you want the original movies that badly. It might be a while, if ever, until we get the unaltered OT on Blu-Ray.
Yeah exactly.
I'm annoyed they won't be including the OT Laser disc version as extras in the release. I understand that we will most likely never get an HD anamorphic version of the OT, but why not include the OT as an SD extra?
