I hope putting a game demo on the same disc the OOT won't hurt the picture and sound.

Unfortunately it will. That sucks.

Hmmm. If that advertisement is real, it does indeed suck that we get worthless promotional items on the disk such as a game demo. But really, i dont think we should worry--having a two or three hundred megabyte game demo is not going to eat up much disk space; its about the same as having a commentary track, and given that the films will have stereo 2.0 sound and no other extras this is perfectly reasonable.

Well...given that the game demo is on the same disk as theatrical release isn't so bad. I mean, emotionally it's horrible. I can't stand that even though they are promoting it heavily in that poster (where did the poster come from?) it still constitutes as "bonus" material.

But this is only for one disk right? They aren't going to put a game demo on each disk, right? Because that would be gay. And pointless. I just hope that it doesn't impact the sound and image quality because I've watched movies with bonus material on the same disk and I've never noticed a problem.

I don't understand the $20 and the $30 difference. What is a M.A.P.?

M.A.P. = Minimum Advertised Price, S.R.P. = Suggested Retail Price

There are about 123 used copies of the 2004 version on sale at Amazon.com. I wonder how high that number is going to jump after september.

Are all 3 movies coming out at once? Man, I'm gonna be spending $75 minimum on this deal. Better make sure that I ferret that money away.

I'm much more disturbed by the fact that the canadian version retails for $43. The conversion rate is practically equal--theres no way why it should be over forty bucks. This places the minimum retail price--which is closer to what stores will actually sell it for--at about $35, which is better but still far overpriced. I may be ordering mine from an american retailer.

"Leverage the Power of the Brand"! Heh, I find that funny.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Yeah, I laughed at that, too. Imagine Obi-Wan saying that to Luke as he navigates the Death Star trench and watch milk fly out your nose.

That, and you won't have the French on it as well, making the cover cluttered and hard to read.

It'll be great to finally have the OT from Lucas on DVD, but the whole "limited time only" thing stinks to high heaven. Money-grubbing, marketeers... and that goes for Lucas himself, too. I've lost almost all respect for the man the way he's treated us fans.

Edit: This is assuming that Lucas is looking forward to the new blue ray DVDs for a release of the OT on top of this one. Someone mentioned this more-than-likely scenario earlier in this thread or on another related one. I may forego this release and wait for the blue ray DVDs. Just because Lucas' accountants convinced him it was a horrible financial idea not to release them doesn't mean that I have to buy them. There. I said it.

They are hidious, thats for sure! They are pitiful covers, and have "rushed release" writtenall over them. Han and Leia look really out of place in the photo, and look at Chewie, C3PO, and R2-D2 in the bottom corner. Chewie looks like he has stumbled into the image by accident. Jeez, I am so sick of this hack fest. We love these movies, and why can't George Lucas just respect that and give us a decent looking release!

Didn't last year's double-dip use some of the original poster art? And why does Vader look like he' s going for the last donut in the Excecutor's mess hall?

no.
And I actually like the cover art somewhat. I mean there tons better than the shitty 04 covers. But I think I'l use one of Coovs

I like the ESB one but the ROTJ one is very empty looking. And ANH's is kinda cluttered with floating heads and stuff. Would have been so, so easy to just put the beautiful original poster art on it.

A problem I've had with a lot of the covers/poster art over the years is that they're simply portraits of all the characters photoshopped together. They hardly illustrate the crux of the respective films.

I personally like them. Then again, though, I liked the '04 covers as well. *prepares for stoning* I'd still prefer the original poster artwork, but that's not the kind of world we live in. I'm not complaining.

EDIT: I just noticed that ESB's cover doesn't even use a picture of Han from ESB. He's in his black vest rather than his navy jacket! Bah! I like the navy jacket!

I think they have their dates wrong 'StarWarsShop.com will be making Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi available for pre-order on Friday, May 12.' I don't see it anywhere.

As for the covers meh.... I'll be making customs anyhoo.

I admit the Return of the Jedi picture looks a bit empty. I could have sworn there was more to its poster inspiration than that!
