SW blu-rays have changes to the films again

[BillJ]

I ordered The Original Trilogy today.

I love those movies and I love Blu-ray... seemed like a no-brainer.

The Arc of the Covenant is going to be replaced by a trunk/coffee table from Pottery Barn.

Hello marketing tie-in! Cha-CHING!

I guess Han and Greedo's guns will replaced by walkie talkies.

Re: Full list of Star Wars blu-ray deleted scenes

I really want this new collection but can't afford right now. So I am going to ask for this for christmass as well as the transformer trilogy box set when it comes.

Don't be giving Lucas ideas now...

This talking point gets brought up quite a bit, but at least in the case of the first movie, there's a salt mine in Kansas that holds a master of it.

I realize my point in life now. I must assemble an Ocean's Eleven/Mission: Impossible-like team of people of various walks of life and specialties and we shall head to this place and make our attempt to extract this Master and do with it what we will.

Yes.

YES!

It will be glorious!

as long as they didn't mess about too much with effects or the plot at all in the originals, getting the full set for features, but I only really care about original trilogy tbh, didn't like the new films

From what I'm seeing the big docu from the TPM DVD isn't on there either. If so, that's a shame. It was great.

I watched it recently and felt kinda bad for Frank Oz watching the Yoda puppet stuff.

OZ: (looking at cgi watto footage on a moniter) "Wow, George! You don't even need me anymore."

Lucas: "We'll always need you.".....Or not

Now that the sets are (almost) here, who's taking bets for when a BD double-dip will take place with the original versions of the OT? Remember it was stated that the original versions were unsuitable for DVD release, too, but they magically showed up. (Ditto the un-remastered Star Trek TOS which also showed up on BD).

Did you miss large stretches of the thread? The ones where we talked about how the original film masters for the first trilogy were altered to make the 1997 special editions, making a simple direct remastering of the originals in HD impossible? The ones where we talked, ad nauseum, about how the original versions released on DVD were of noticeably inferior quality even compared to the DVD special editions, hell, even compared to the laserdisks from which they were duplicated?

This talking point gets brought up quite a bit, but at least in the case of the first movie, there's a salt mine in Kansas that holds a master of it.

Nobody can tell me that they actually destroyed the original film reels when they created the special edition.

Well, they still used Phil Tippett in Jurassic Park - he manipulated an armature and that was translated into movement for the CGI models.

Gets rid of that pesky "Who shot first" thing

Well, he did continue to voice Yoda.

Here's an interesting post at this blog about alternative casting for the Star Wars films. This one wonders what if Lucas made the films in order and started with Episode I. Some of the choices...were um interesting. http://www.starloggers.wordpress.com

This completely ruins the character of the Death Star. It used to be such a badass.

Looks like Alderaan has worse aim than a Stormtrooper.
