Sony stated why they didn’t use the newly remastered mixes for the CD release that coincided with the digital collection. They said and I paraphrase “Younger generations grew up on the SE scores so we decided to use the SE mixes for the CD release” youtube.com/watch?v=YuH7uznb2bU. But now I guess they decided to release the original soundtracks for streaming. I think this is a sign of cool things to come bois

I think that the original versions of the movies are restored in 4K and will be released sometime this year. Possibly an announcement at Star Wars Celebration.

Disney would be so smart to live stream a huge mystery panel where they unveil new blu-rays with updated special features, bonus commentaries, beautiful original artwork and most of all…the unaltered original Star Wars trilogy remastered in beautiful 4K. Not to mention if they made a new special edition with the offensive SE elements removed and even better CGI and models used to update matte paintings and aged effects. They could preview footage, have a panel afterwards speak about the restoration process and what it means to fans. And then just so it’s all worth it, plop on a 150 dollar price tag for the full set in its glory. And hell yah I would pay for something like that.

Please Disney…read this post and follow exactly as I instructed. You will make so much damn money and you will make us fans so damn happy.

They were released on vinyl with original artwork.

I know. It’s just that my entire music collection is on CD. It’s the medium I grew up with.

Right, I understand. It shows that they think of the OOT as a “classic” item in their catalogue as opposed to the SE being more mainstream.

EDIT: That didn’t stop them from releasing them both on iTunes though.

It wouldn’t cost that much. The Complete Saga didn’t cost that much. I’d expect something in the 50-70 dollar retail range.

From everything I’ve heard from a variety of people that I think are reliable, I think it’ll happen in 2017. If it doesn’t happen this year then I give up.

Maybe the 40th anniversary home media release of the OT will be special editions on UHD BD and OUT on 8mm tape.

Edit : I understand vinyl is a high fidelity medium despite its age. Maybe the OUT will only be available on 35mm then.

That is if they don’t force us to buy the PT to get the special features as they did last time around.

Honestly, I would buy another Complete Saga box set if every cut of Episodes I-VI were included.

I’d buy a $120 complete saga set to get a legitimate HD copy of the Original Trilogy, but I don’t think that PT would be a wise marketing move to package with the OT. Also, there really isn’t a “complete saga” anymore because there’s going to be so many movies.

Which is exactly why they should just give each movie its own ultimate set.

The Original Hexalogy ?
The Original George Lucas Saga ?

Could be wise. Remember that SW fans aren’t mainstream customers, who happen to like ALL OF SW.

That might happen, but I honestly would prefer a box of all three. From what I’ve gathered, Empire and Jedi are done, and Star Wars is what was giving them trouble. All hearsay, but I think it’s accurate.

The “saga” thing was only so George could sell his **** prequel movies.

It’s called a saga since TESB…

I remember the “saga” language getting thrown around a lot once we got the prequels.

TESB tagline: "The Star Wars Saga continues"
ROTJ tagline: "The Saga continues"
TPM tagline: “Every Saga has a beginning”

I’m not sure about AOTC and ROTS taglines (“The key of the Saga” and “The conclusion of the Saga” ?).

Since SW is a saga I wonder what’s wrong using that term…

Well maybe I’m wrong, but for me there is a distinct prequel connotation with that word. I remember the emphasis being on the word “trilogy” before the prequels came along. Then when you had to buy all six films together, the word “saga” became ubiquitous.

It’s even worse because brainwashing people into watching 1-6 in order completely changes the story that the original trilogy was trying to tell.

The post-ROTJ years and pre-SEs were “The Star Wars Trilogy” - not saga.

I wouldn’t go as far as “completely changes”. The OT is still the story of Luke. And ROTJ has always been the story of Luke trying to save his father. The PT does not change that, it just ruins a few revelations but not their meaning.

For the “saga” I’m refering to the theatrical posters of TESB and ROTJ, but indeed for marketing and video releases it was “trilogy”. Don’t forget that “saga” goes beyond the movies, it embraces all medias (tvseries, books, video games) so I’m very fine with that and so should you. Don’t let your hate for the PT change historical facts (the theatrical posters and trailers of TESB and ROTJ are easy to find to prove my point). Had the PT been as good as the OT I bet you wouldn’t make this distinction.

Just to say that I wouldn’t mind a complete 1-6 set (with every cut for each film of course… why not with new cuts as well as long as they improve them) because it’s Lucas saga as he meant it to be (well, except all previous cuts to the 2011 bluray edition…); love it or hate it but he did that in total independence, and that’s scarce enough to not forget it.

In my conversations with the prequel fans over the years, and maybe people who just prefer to watch all of the films regardless of their quality, they seem much more interested in Anakin’s story, not Luke’s. Many of them don’t even think of Anakin as Vader. They think he’s a good guy.

So yeah I do think that is completely different than the story the OT was trying to tell.

Jake Lloyd as Baby Hitler is even the main character on the front coverwork for the sage boxset, is he not?

Really ? But it doesn’t mean it changes the OT, it just adds another layer where you “care” more about Vader as a continuing protagonist than as the main vilain (not even that “main” in ANH, where you have the time to get to know Luke and cie). Does it mean that for mainstream audiences Lucas has succeeded in developing characters people are interested in ? On the other hand, TFA huge commercial success is mostly based on the promise to see Luke again, am I right ?
