2007 definitive editions (Blu-ray)

The new CG Yoda in The Phantom MenaceLucas has hinted in the past, and it is most likely assumed, that he will release his definitive (often called "archival") editions of all six of his Star Wars films on a next-generation home-video format in 2007. This release would coincide with, and celebrate, the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars saga. It has been speculated that he will take this opportunity to make any final adjustments, changes, additions, and/or subtractions to his films for this final release. An altered clip from The Phantom Menace included in a featurette on the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith (in which a computer generated Yoda replaces the original puppet) appears to be a sign that the "archival" editions are indeed in the works; however, this is uncertain, as the animation team for Yoda went back and practiced animating him in all his scenes from The Phantom Menace in order to really understand Yoda and become skilled in creating his facial expressions, amongst other things. This was done in preparation for Yoda's appearance in Revenge of the Sith, as the greatest concern of the animation team during production of Attack of the Clones was the duel scene between Yoda and Count Dooku. Regardless, the new animations of the CGI Yoda would most likely be used in the Definitve Edition of The Phantom Menace.

It is said that this edition will be released in a "Grand Saga" box set, and the home video format will most likely be Blu-ray, as 20th Century Fox, as well as Lucas himself, have said they prefer this format. Lucasfilm Vice President of Marketing Jim Ward confirmed that in this final release, Lucasfilm is likely to return to John Lowry to do even more work on the films (possibly digital contemporization of the original trilogy). He says, "As the technology evolves and we get into a high-definition platform that is easily consumable by our customers, the situation is much better, but there will always be work to be done."[8]

Producer Rick McCallum, as well as Ward, have also explained that they have been holding back a large amount of bonus material for this release, including deleted scenes, as well as numerous previous Star Wars "making-ofs," spin-offs, television specials, Documentaries etc.


2007 3-D edition

At a ShoWest convention in 2005, George Lucas demonstrated new technology and stated that he is planning to release all six films in a new 3-D film format, beginning with A New Hope in 2007.

That's nice. If it doesn't have a proper OOT DVD release, I'm not buying it.

Actually, Wikipedia is always very reliable. You can't just go there and post whatever the hell you want. You have to cite information, and it does go through a screening process. I couldn't go onto the Star Wars page and post something saying "George Lucas has decided to remake the entire saga," or something like that. It's completely untrue. (I hope.) As such, it wouldn't be posted.

And for the record....it's spelled Blu-Ray, not Blue-Ray, and this news is very old.

Regardless of whether it's reliable or not, my only point was that anyone who posts something like this needs to cite where they get their information if they want to be taken seriously.

As far as Wikipedia is concerned, just because something is on there and hasn't been edited doesn't mean it's true. That article may be nothing more than the accepted opinion of those who frequent the Star Wars pages of Wikipedia. Hardly something to be taken as gospel...

I don't think I said anything about it being taken as gospel. But just go read the page. I wouldn't doubt the accuracy of most of it. What SW posted sounds perfectly plausible, and we all know it to be true anyway.

As I said, will there be a remastered OOT? Otherwise, I don't care.

I know I will be re-buying the Prequel trilogy when he releases his uber boxset.

I don't mind.

Lucas isn't a bad person for selling a DVD set and expecting money in return for it.

I truly hope the 2007 box set will be on Blu-Ray. Because then I will have zero temptation to buy. I have no intention of upgrading to any HiDef format for many years to come (not until I can afford a new, spiffy, at least 60" wide monitor ... and till my current, reliable 40" good, old-fashioned tube set dies, that won't even be on my radar).


So go ahead and get all au currant on me, Georgie. I will yawn. (And yeah, no O.U.T., no deal anyway.)

Check out the page on Glass... "Glass is a uniform amorphous solid material" is the very first thing said! So much for being neutral. There is a real debate over whether glass is classed as an "amorphous solid" or a liquid. "One common misconception is that glass is a liquid... Glass is generally treated as an amorphous solid rather than a liquid, though different views can be justified since characterizing glass as either 'solid' or 'liquid' is not an entirely straightforward matter." Again, so much for neutrality.And for the record....it's spelled Blu-Ray, not Blue-Ray, and this news is very old.
For the record YOUR != YOU'RE.

Also, one of the problems with Wikipedia is that people edit out the truth and put what they think is right in there. And if enough people think their version is right, then it stays... Wikipedia just ends up with the popular POV, not the truth - and it's certainly not neutral.

I doubt it. Lucas has some kind of genetic inability to release only one edition of his films.

Who said it was? It's what the DVD set probably won't contain that concerns us.

We'll see a good OOT DVD release and HD release eventually, I'm sure.

If there isn't an official release, people will author their own using the HD broadcasts as soon as recordable next-gen DVD media becomes practical.

To release anything on Blu-ray in the next year would be a risky move as the future of the technology is uncertain at best at the moment. I want to see the OOT in an HD format, though I could care less about bells and whistles. Lowry fucked up the last release and I'm not too keen on buying anything Star Wars that has his name attached to it. All of this at this point is conjecture. Only time will tell.

Agreed. The HD formats may not work out. Most people just upgraded to DVD. I can't see most people doing that for so much money.

Risky? Hardly. First of all, the only new format it can be released on is Blu-Ray because both Lucas and Fox have pledged their support of that format. Second, something as mega-popular as Star Wars could only HELP a format like Blu-ray become more popular. People aren't going to buy one machine over the other because they like a certain player better than the other. They're going to buy whicever one has more attractive media or simply more titles in general.

Now, if they release the box set ONLY on Blu-ray and not DVD, that would seriously impact the amount of sales and most likely wouldn't be worth it. Not to metion the fact that single-disc releases on Blu-ray hover around $30. A box set would probably be close to $150. From a marketing standpoint, it would be wise for them to release it on both Blu-ray and DVD to maximize sales while at the same time helping the success of Blu-ray and catering to videophiles.

Blu-Ray is primarly for videophiles, correct?

Only in the sense that DVD once was primarily for videophiles when it first came out and players cost hundreds of dollars. If the evolution of DVD is anything to go on, five years from now Blu-ray players (or HDDVD, in the unlikely event it wins out) will most likely cost less than $200 and there will be more Blu-ray media for sale in stores than DVDs.

It's the same conundrum I need to consider with all of by DVD purchases these days: do I go for standard def if next gen is around the corner/already here?

I don't think I'll be upgrading to any next gen format for at least a good 6 years, so I'll just enjoy any DVD release now rather than later.

I suppose, but many said the same of laserdiscs. With my luck, you're probably right, but I guess we'll find out, won't we?

Laserdisc never appealed to the general public because it stayed expensive and it wasn't a convenient way to watch movies with the bulky discs and so many side changes. Next-gen DVD formats appeal to anyone who owns an HDTV and wants something that matches the quality of their TV programming. Prices for both Blu-ray and HD-DVD players and media are bound to drop gradually over the course of the next few years, just like any new technology has in the last ten years. Eventually, players will get to the point where they're inexpensive enough for people to replace their existing DVD player, especially since they're backward compatible and you won't have to upgrade your entire library of DVDs. Until then, videophiles will determine the outcome of the next-gen media war.
