<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

if a new set does come out, before I fork over the money for a purchase, I'm going to rent them first to make sure that the actual movies aren't as crapped as the one they released on DVD last November. i am no longer going to blindly go for whatever Lucas throws at me. Lucas has taught me what a Liar is.

I will just rent them whenever George the nitwit releases new versions. I will watch them....laugh at the changes and return them feeling good that I didn't waste good money on crap.

Then I will watch my own preservation of the OOT and laugh more at all the money Georgie boy could be making if he would pull his head out of his ass and release them.

As for the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray releases...we ain't gonna see those for a LOOOOOONG time. LFL will not put anything out in any new format untill there is a clear winner and the format is firmly established. Look at how long it took them to embrace DVD to put out any SW releases. LFL is not going to waste money putting SW out in THREE diferent formats (DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray). It will just come out in normal DVD cuz that is the most prevalent right now.

HD or Blu-ray have a while to go before they even get on the level. The formats still have to come out. Then there's the possible format war. The players for the formats are supposed to start out at $1000. It will take a year of two for the price of that to come down and then you have to get people to buy them. Whoever wins is still going to have a couple of years before they get a foothold on the public.
When all that's good and done, then LFL will START to consider putting anything SW out on that format.

Anyone who's waiting for SW to come out in HD-DVD or Blu-Ray is gonna have a nice long wait....probably close to 3 or 4 years, IMHO.

i dont care if its the SE or not i just wish lucas' dvd experts would tone down the color and brighten the picture up. to me thats more a reason why the ot and the pt dont match up than anything else

The only way that Blu-Ray will become a household standard by 2007 is if the PS3 costs under $500, which, at this point, does not look like it will. That will be the most affordable Blu-Ray player on the market at the time, when it eventually releases, and obviously only early adopters and hc gamers will get it.

My point is that there is no way in hell an HD Star Wars Saga boxset is coming out in 2007.

I respect those of you that held out and didn't buy the 2004 DVD's based on your convictions - you are to be commended for your dedication, at least.

For the other bandwagoners - and you know who you are - if Lucas pooped and slapped the Star Wars logo on it, you'd still buy it.

Just to head the Prequel Bashers off at the pass: Yes, I know you feel that the Prequels are Lucas' equivalent of slapping the Star Wars logo on poop.



Hmmm, authentic George Lucas Faeces? Does it come with a certificate of authenticity? If so, I'll take 2 (one to keep in the packaging, one to enjoy).

War does not make one great.

As much as it pains me to say, this is sadly the case.


You know what? I had a mate who still hasn't watched any of his 2004 DVDs, and when I told him that Hayden's ghost replaced *ANAKIN'S REAL GHOST* at the end of ROTJ, he didn't believe me! So I told him to watch them, and boy was he pissed! Then I told him about the Temeura Morrison overdub on ESB, and he got even more pissed! Then I told him to act on his anger and sign the petition! It was hilarious, yet sad. I wonder how many other ppl haven't watched their DVDs yet...



I bought the DVD's the day they came out and I've yet to watch them!
