Celebration 2017 Speculation — Page 14

Not to add fuel to the fire, but…

I think it’s been mentioned here that the “Saga” Blu-Ray sets have been mysteriously dropping in price the past week or so, but to add to that, the digital versions on iTunes also had a very rare drop in price just today, the day of the panel. Like, just a few hours ago. The last major price drop was iTunes’ big end-of-year sale in December, and nothing really before that. Why would they discount the films on the exact day of the panel if there wasn’t something related to home media whatsoever? It’s not like most iTunes shoppers would know about the convention and connection otherwise…

They talked about the Convention on GMA, the average person knows about Celebration and are now thinking “maybe I should buy those movies, oh look, they’re on sale!” It’s not like Apple needs to get rid of the digital inventory.

And they’re $5 off the whole set. The saga isn’t in impulse buy territory.

We’ll take the next chance and the next chance until we win or the chances are spent.

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

An appropriate double post if ever there was one.

It’s not just iTunes. It’s all digital platforms. Vudu has each movie for $14.99. I can’t remember them ever being that low

$15 for a digital version (marked down even) is ridiculous.

That could be just as much of an indicator of a 4K release of the SE.

If you had a new product in the pipeline, wouldn’t you want people not to buy the old digital product before it came out? Probably just more taking advantage of the hype.

For anyone listening to the chatter before the panel started, they’re calling up fans to the stage if they saw Star Wars in theaters in 1977. Maybe I’m reading far too much into this, but that doesn’t sound like a bad sign.

Also keep in mind the last time they announced they were releasing the originals it was shit.

Not really. iTunes doesn’t do 4K, so they’d have no reason to acknowledge it.

An attendee tweeted that they were playing Yub Nub prior to the panel.
