Star Wars: Frames

I was browsing online and came across a new affordable release of Star Wars: Frames that I hadn't previously been aware of. I remember when it came out as a limited edition set a few years back priced at around $5000 I believe which I thought was absolutely ridiculous but I wasn't aware that it had recently been rereleased for around $80.

Have any of you guys got the new rerelease of Star Wars: Frames and if you do, would you recommend it? Are the colours accurate to the films as they were shown in the cinema or are the frames taken from the blu-ray with the same bluish tint throughout?

I'm seriously considering picking this up for the original trilogy frames really and would appreciate the thoughts of anyone that already owns this.

Why would anyone want this

Please don't. This needs to stop.

I love the idea of apologizing for crappy image quality in a (fairly expensive) book consisting solely of images. That's how you treat your fans who buy all the crap you put out. Oh, wait...

Give the OOT the treatment it deserves and I'll have all the stills I want without buying this overpriced low quality BD garbage, thank you very much.

Or even watching the restoration of your choice and pausing from time to time.

Damn, how lazy is taking the frames straight from the blu-rays rather than the film prints of the original trilogy!? If its taken from the blu-ray i'll definately be giving it a miss.

Watching that trailer, at 0:51 I had to do a double take because I couldn't believe what I was seeing, he included frames from Jedi Rocks and that awful closeup shot of Sy Snootles's CG lips among his favourite frames of the Original Trilogy!? That really does make me question his judgement here as far as favourite frames are concerned or maybe its all just a bit of a joke to him at this point.

Seems this was clearly a blatant moneygrab by GL. Thanks for warning me off guys! I can get much better regraded frames in 1920x1080 resolution off my regrader previewer rather than paying $80 for the priviledge of seeing that awful blue tint all over the original trilogy again. Can't believe I was considering getting this, just glad I asked you all first.

 Because they don't know how to press the "Print Scrn" button while watching the movie themselves?  Just a guess.
