Yeah...I thought this was well known.  It's a 9 disc set, the movies on the first 6 discs and the bonus features on the last three.  The OT set and the PT set are each just the 3 discs.  The only bonus features for those are the two commentaries on each movie.

In defense of Lucasfilm, that's not dumb, that's a smart sales strategy.  And other franchise releases (both DVD and Blu) have done something similar.  It sucks, but it's business.

Is it?  You're assuming at least half as many people will buy the whole set to get these bonus discs than people that would buy the OT set to get the bonus disc.

I won't be buying anything... but it would be tempting to get the OT if the bonus disc was included.  Maybe your numbers work out- maybe there are 2-3 people now buying the full set for every person like me not buying anything.  Maybe not.

If it wasn't a smart sales strategy, why would they do it?  They have to have research showing it works.

Everyone save the "Lucas just trying to screw us" comments, btw.

... someone's going to have to rip the audio and send it to me...

As much as I value your opinion, this is the point where I suppose I should point out that this would be piracy, and therefore against the rules of the forum.

But there's so much bullshit surrounding this whole release event that to be quite honest I'm completely "meh" about the whole thing.

So I guess it's ok to pirate this thing then.

What the hell?

Moth3r's not saying it's okay.  Just saying that he's not going to throw the book at hen.

I get accused of complaining about potential piracy posts too often, and my first instinct was to say something.  But I thought, "hey, I'll let this one pass," and then Moth3r comes right in and says "whatever."

Whatever.

Would it help if I said it was for educational purposes only?

Didn't mean to stir anything up here.

Crimson Jack is a Star Wars pirate.

He was also Han Solo's first gay love (it was the beard).

Unfortunately the one aspect of Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray I'm not allowed to talk specifics about are those deleted scenes. What I can tell you is that we watched almost every one of them from Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as a few more from The Phantom Menace a little later in the day.

Whatever preconceived notion you had about the deleted scenes, flush it. There is far, far more footage scattered across the scenes than I knew existed, especially for A New Hope. We'll not only be treated to deleted scenes, but alternate angles and takes from some key sequences. It's a Star Wars historical gold mine.

Bunch of worthy info in the post. Has a video of the 'Fallen At-At' 360, and Dennis Muren answering questions.

Anyone ever done BD-Live content? http://www.whatisbdlive.com Sound like the dvd.starwars.com features which disappeared.  *EDIT* link fixed

"Page not found"

If the dvd.starwars.com features resurfaced, that would be really cool.

Why?  As Gaffer says, it's likely more motivated by Ego than sales anyways.

She said "to entice fans to buy and soothe his ego at the same time."

Don't use Gaff's words against me when she was agreeing with me...and all out of jealousy for her affections...

What a coincidence, I become an ungrateful bitch when my better half has had a bottle of red too.

I don't even know why they call it red when it's more burgundy?

Meanwhile Admiral Ackbar is more purple than red.

See they used an alternative take for these scenes in the blu-ray version, and The Ack had a little hooch between takes and we all know that Calamari turn burgundy when drunk... and well.  That's the rest of the story.

Pour me a glass of... burgundy (domestic) and pull up a chair over on the Off Topic forum...if you like ;-)

Has anyone noticed that they seem to have changed Nien Numb's voice slightly in the death star footage? Or is it just my sound system crapping out?

It's might just be the compression that youtube does on their videos and sound. Also their was some clipping on the audio of the U.S. version of the death star 2 feature and the international one their is no clipping in the audio at all.

That will be a relief for members of the Orange Order.

relax georgec that's just the youtube video that's not how the blu-rays will sound like when the final blu-rays come out on September 16th.
