I'be got my fingers crossed for the PT deleted scenes from the DVD to appear in HD. They're listed under "legacy content," but hopefully sourced from a master and not just literally from the DVD.
I highly doubt it. "Legacy" in this instance seems to mean "Some old tat". If they were in HD surely they'd be trumpeting that fact from roof tops.
I'm really angry about this. Disney have been doing so much stuff that is right in the past year. It's felt like a new dawn for Star Wars fandom... after "the dark times" but no it's still the same old bullsh*t.
I almost wouldn't mind if they'd said "Okay we know these arent the original films... but never mind that... here they are in a new format!". But to ignore the "Bantha in the room" over this release is an insult. They must know how excited fans have been by all the remastering rumours, and how this announcement will crush their spirits? Shame on you Disney, I thought you were better than this.
At least the bonus content looks pretty much worthless, so I don't have to miss out on anything, when I boycott them ;-)
