A miserable box art would be the least problem. I’m going to buy a box set twice anyway, one sealed, one to watch - and those discs would just be replaced from the official box to a custom made box.

Robyroo, congratulations on being the 100th post in this thread and good morning! I can’t wait for the Star Wars Holiday Special on Blu-ray (which is part two of the four part trilogy!)

Sony now distributes Disney physical media via SDS, yes. But I don’t think that implies Sony is encoding the video or even authoring the discs.

My recollection was that there was no implication, the report was that they’d be encoding/authoring/pressing/packaging the discs as part of the deal. I could be remembering that wrong tho!

I’d be more concerned about stuff like dnr, and pink lightsabers than that.

Of all the things that arrived in 2004 I think I hated that pink saber the most, for what it represented. Suck a simple quality fuck up they chose to ignore.

Feeling a little bad for the souls that have spent years scanning and retouching every frame in 4k based on George’s lie.

It’s not really a waste, the 4KXX series are there to preserve the actual “theatrical print” media of how the movies would’ve looked like back to audiences in 1977, 1980 and 1983. The 50th Anniversary restoration would be basically how the conformed OCN in 1977 would’ve looked like, in the highest resolution and quality possible.
