Disappointing that Bill Hunt gave the movie a big shrug and a, "Well, it's Star Wars on Blu-Ray" like everyone else. From everything we've seen, read and heard, this release sounds objectively off-putting (SE changes or no). I can't imagine anything other than Star Wars being given such a lazy pass, considering all the quality inconsistencies and missing bits this set seems to have.

My god, Predator sent shockwaves the world 'round (I'm exaggerating, I know), and a substandard release of the biggest movie franchise in history is, apparently, going to be successful regardless of quality.

It's not that I'm shocked and horrified—but I am disappointed.

Lucasfilm clouds everything. The truth is that these BD's have absolutely no value. But since GL is so greedy for more money, he has to force every reviewer to give this a positive review, or else. Could you imagine what would happen if Michael Bay or Uwe Boll forced all film critics to give their films a four-star/A rating, or theres would be serious negative consequences? This is exactly what GL is doing, for no other reason that it is SW, which has ceased to become a film and is now a consumer brand no one can question.
