Back on topic:
I'm curious how Lucas is going to re-package the movies further down the line. TPM in 3D should be hitting theaters this time next year. Will he release a bd3d of it later on in 2012? Meanwhile, will the PT, OT and Saga boxes still be the only way of getting those movies or will he do individual releases sooner rather than later? It would be great if they made the bd3d of TPM an all-out multi-disc ultimate edition, complete with the theatrical cut.
Here's the big picture to consider: LFL can only re-package these movies so many times before they run out of new shit to sell us. This initial blu-ray release will give us the deleted scenes, plus the novelty of watching the PT and the messed-up version of the OT in hi-def video and audio (....woohoo). Then, as the movies are converted into 3D, we'll get those on video as well. Just what the hell do they have left to sell us after that besides the holy grail that is the OOT?
They could release the Ewok movies, the old clone wars series, the new clone wars series, the droids cartoon, etc etc a hundred times on Blu-ray before they release the "holy grail." Then it would come in DVD quality on a Blu-ray. And then we would have to wait until the next format for a HD quality version of the OOT, which by that time will be inferior to whatever future standards people will have.
And since Lucas is a billionaire and can afford medical procedures to prolong his life, he will still be in charge of LFL and block the release for decades to come. Plus he will have released more SW related garbage, including the sequel trilogy, which in my opinion (if released) will be worse than the PT.
Bottom line, LFL will not release the OOT for as long as they possibly can.
I didn't know going outside and working out costed lots of money only a billionaire can afford... in fact, Lucas may be not the fattest man on the planet, but you get the point.
Probably the stupidest thing I've read on these forums so far.
