The surprise they keep talking about at the celebration could turn out to be nothing more than the Ep. 8 trailer.

It’s a surprise specifically for the 40 years of ANH panel.

The opening panel of the 2015 celebration was specifically about TFA. They even said ahead of time that they’d be debuting that trailer at that panel IIRC.
If one of these “surprises” at a panel about the 40th anniversary of the original film was the TLJ trailer, we would know it.

Yeah, they’ll almost certainly have an event dedicated to TLJ.

I’m probably reading way too much into this, but I was over at blu-ray.com just now and noticed the “best deals” at the top of the page has the complete saga set listed for $58.49. That’s the lowest I can remember any retailer selling it for in quite a long time, maybe ever.
We’re less than three weeks away from this celebration panel. If an announcement is imminent, maybe they’re trying to clear out inventory before people stop buying it altogether and start saving their money for the new set?
Yeah. I think I paid $60-70 during the after Christmas sales when it was first released. But since then most sales have been around $80. Best Buy has also discounted it to $73, which is pretty low.
I got the entire set from an ebay buyer for around 35 dollars and it was brand new and sealed.

If Best Buy knows about it, you think that information wouldn’t have leaked already? C’mon…
The only reason the price was lowered was to tie in to Rogue One.

Imagine this information is in supply chains months in advance. Doesn’t mean your average BB warehouse and salesperson knows about it.

If the Darth Vader on the slip cover has any space above his head, it’s a bootleg. Little FYI because eBay is FLOODED with bootleg Star Wars DVDs and Blu Rays

I got fleeced on a fake set once. The discs were obviously burned single layered BDs with crappily printed art on them.

It wouldn’t need to have leaked just for the price to be lowered. They could’ve done that without any reason whatsoever (well, other than the fact that putting something on sale tends to sell it faster, but that’s just simple business logic). But I am just theorizing and you are probably right about it having to do with Rogue One. Lucasfilm/Fox/Disney wouldn’t have much - if anything- to do with what price amazon decides to sell it for now that I think about it (unless I’m wrong about that).

Which also makes me wonder, just how many excess copies are sitting piled up at the warehouse?
I can’t imagine it’s that high of a number. It makes sense that they reissued the complete saga in 2015 leading up to TFA. Obviously people were going to be buying it with more frequency because of renewed interest thanks to the Disney movies. But I would think everyone who’s ever going to buy it would’ve bought it by now, for the most part. It’s been five and a half years.

Did Fox really have the power to have old DVD stock pulled from store shelves ahead of the first Blu Ray release? I did notice they suddenly vanished in at least one local store at the time, but can’t discount the possibility someone was buying them up to flip on Ebay.
A lot of sealed fullscreen copies turn up for sale with the UPC slashed and covered by a sticker, indicating they were given away to some charity.

Not everywhere, The FYE’s around me had them- but they were out of Best Buy/Target/Walmart etc. I had to go used when I got the GOUT for Star Wars and Empire.
It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

Perhaps it was voluntary or something? Somebody has to pack them up and ship them back, and if the studio isn’t picking up the tab, a store might just blow it off?
