I’m probably reading way too much into this, but I was over at blu-ray.com just now and noticed the “best deals” at the top of the page has the complete saga set listed for $58.49. That’s the lowest I can remember any retailer selling it for in quite a long time, maybe ever.

We’re less than three weeks away from this celebration panel. If an announcement is imminent, maybe they’re trying to clear out inventory before people stop buying it altogether and start saving their money for the new set?

If Best Buy knows about it, you think that information wouldn’t have leaked already? C’mon…

The only reason the price was lowered was to tie in to Rogue One.

Imagine this information is in supply chains months in advance. Doesn’t mean your average BB warehouse and salesperson knows about it.

Yeah. I think I paid $60-70 during the after Christmas sales when it was first released. But since then most sales have been around $80. Best Buy has also discounted it to $73, which is pretty low.

Call me ignorant, but what does it actually mean to re-render CG? I assumed it was ‘drawn’ at whatever resolution and that was it.

The ‘skin’ you build over the ‘frame’ of the models using higher resolution graphics, I would imagine.

That would make sense. So the ‘frame’ is a vector of some sort and thus enlargeable.

I know some folks are saying if this were happening at Celebration there’d be more leaks by now. But does anyone actually believe there won’t be anything new at all in regards to the OT on home media? Whatever it is, they’ve done a good job keeping a lid on it. In the absence of a direct ‘no’ from LF or a more solid ‘no’ rumor, I’m inclined to believe John Landis and makingstarwars.net for the time being.
