Oops! This link appears to be broken.

Yep. This is what I'm getting after refreshing about ten times.

You'd think they'd be prepared for this otherwise why put up this kind of thing in the first place?

Clownshoes.

“Anakin had those qualities so rarely seen, exuding an unmistakable confidence and yet still able to touch one’s heart in simply knowing how he was so flawed… wounded.”

The masters discuss and reminisce about one of the most beloved films of all time.

NEW! Star Wars Spoofs (2011, Color, Apx. 91 Minutes) – The farce is strong with this one! Enjoy a hilarious collection of Star Wars spoofs and parodies that have been created over the years, including outrageous clips from Family Guy, The Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother and more — and don’t miss “Weird Al” Yankovic’s one-of-a-kind music video tribute to The Phantom Menace!

Hosted and narrated by Carrie Fisher and Billie Dee Williams.

Anatomy of a Dewback (1997, Color, Apx. 26 Minutes) – See how some of the special effects in Star Wars became even more special two decades later! George Lucas explains and demonstrates how his team transformed the original dewback creatures from immovable rubber puppets (in the original 1977 release) to seemingly living, breathing creatures for the Star Wars 1997 Special Edition update.

Star Wars Tech (2007, Color, Apx. 46 Minutes) – Exploring the technical aspects of Star Wars vehicles, weapons and gadgetry, Star Wars Tech consults leading scientists in the fields of physics, prosthetics, lasers, engineering and astronomy to examine the plausibility of Star Wars technology based on science as we know it today.

 

 

I feel like Disc 9 with documentaries isn't all that exciting. Much of those has been seen before and with this being the new versions there's nothing for me here.

Can someone please just copy/paste the text here for all of us to see? I've been curious for a while now about what exactly will be in the set, but I'm not curious enough to "share" just so I can find out.

Jesus, LFL. I know everyone basically lives on facebook now, but just tell us already. We've known for a while that this won't include the OOT. Now that would be share-worthy.

Worst. Surprise. Ever.

They did this to make our lives miserable. This is what I have been saying about LFL for a time now; the manipulate our nostalgia for these films to sodomize us over and over again because we are the addicts and they are the dealers. There is an infinite demand and and an infinite supply: the suppliers can do whatever the hell they want with the fans because they cannot let go of SW. No one can. They always sink lower and lower and it will never stop.

So...is the lack of surprise supposed to be itself surprising? Oh, those wily postmodern marketing gurus!

I stopped to believe that they will fix anything. For sure they will throw 2004 transfers with 2004 audio mix, crushed blacks etc.


The only worth thing are documentaries for OT. Nothing more.

Isn't Star Wars Tech the History Channel special? LOL.

If that's the case, I'd rather have had The Legacy Revealed special even though it has...gulp...er...Nancy Pelosi.

IFFFF the deleted scenes mentioned happen to be ALL the bits there were cut/altered for the SEs then I'll pre-order. If not no sale I think!

Still no webpage here in the UK - pretty piss poor show!
