An impressive list - though where is The Holiday Special? 😉

Oh - and the 2003 Clone Wars mini-series?

Some great Star Wars wallpaper images:

I remember only having a VHS recording of Star Wars with commercials when I was growing up. I don’t know how I enjoyed anything on that tiny fuzzy screen with crap speakers. I can’t believe how good we have it now.

Star Wars will be around longer than any of us.

The quest for the best version of Star Wars will be too.

These new 4K UHD discs are just another rung on the endless ladder. Collect as much of that ladder as you can while you’re here.

ANH caps are up. https://caps-a-holic.com/c_list.php?c=5424

This comparison just shows how good the new ANH transfer is.

It shows how much better this transfer is.
It’s still not as good as it should be.

“You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need”

These new 4K HDR discs are the best I’ve seen these movies look and sound by several orders of magnitude.
I eagerly await the next Harmy Despecialized!

Looks like the buy 2 get 1 free deals on the 4K discs started… this weekend. At Target.

For anyone who purchased individual titles from Target before the sale started:

I bought the three original Trilogy movies and The Rise of Skywalker before the sale started. Took my receipt to Target customer service and they let me get Rogue One and The Force Awakens for free.

I didn’t get the full set, only the Original Trilogy and The Rise of Skywalker. The prequels have grown on me considerably over the years, but I’m fine with watching them on the 1080p discs.

I hate the Unaltered versions aren’t available, but I must say I’m blown away by the sights and sounds of these discs. I felt like a kid again while watching these with the sound WAY up. I’m extremely thankful for my Harmy discs, but I like having this release as an option too. As others have said, I can’t wait to see what the the next round of Despecialized looks like.

*I still haven’t seen 4K77 or 4K83. My midichlorian count is not high enough to obtain them.

Sorry if this has been asked, but are the included 1080p blu-ray versions from the new (maclunky) scan too, or did they just repurpose unsold blu-rays?

I’ll definitely still be seeing the next one.

Has anyone ever been removed from the end credits? I remember reading something, but can’t find anything now. Am I just misremembering… again?

I wonder if they will do another event like this for the 40th anniversary of TESB?

I have a feeling there will be another boxed set that will include Rogue One and Solo. I’ll just buy the Original Trilogy separately for now and wait for the next hope.

Broom Kid said:

it’s appearing as if the only upside to getting the box-set is cosmetic, as none of the on-disc content will be exclusive to it, so if you don’t care about the box, the letter, and the special book/artwork, you’re probably okay simply buying the movies you want individually. I believe this is the first time in quite awhile that Lucasfilm is allowing you to essentially part out a brand new set at retail. In 2004 you couldn’t just buy individual DVD titles in the OT, you had to get the full set or nothing. Same with the 2011 BD set (although I believe shortly afterwards they let you buy either trilogy in a separate set, sans bonus discs). But for 4K, it looks like they’re saying “you don’t HAVE to buy a box to get all the goodies. Just pick the movies you want.”

What if in a year or so they release another boxed set that DOES contain the unaltered versions, and they aren’t available any other way?

I wonder why the top row of bonus discs looks larger than the other discs?

Broom Kid said:

Here’s a HD picture where you can definitely make out what the discs are, and even what the letter from Mark Hamill says. (You guessed 100% correctly as to what they were)

https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6393/6393929_sa.jpg

So, that’s one mystery down: It’s absolutely one bonus disc per movie, like many expected.

Since I highly doubt the unaltered Originals are anywhere on those discs, and I already own Solo and TLJ on UHD, I’m going to skip this boxed set and just buy TRoS and the Originals on UHD separately. I might add R1 and TFA on UHD later.

Also, am I the only person who hates the idea of sliding my discs in and out of cardboard? I hate sets like that.

That pick of all 27 discs spread out sure looks like 3 groups of 9. My guess is the plain looking first row is the special features, the middle row is the 1080p, and the bottom is the UHD.

I need that machine Deckard has in Blade Runner.

Official domestic opening weekend total:
$177,383,864

Congrats to rocknroll41 for predicting the closest (175m).

Still too close to call between these predictions for Domestic and Worldwide totals:

User	Opening	Domestic	Worldwide
rocknroll41	$175M	$500M	$975M
StarkillerAG	$200M	$500M	$900M
DrDre	$180M	$540M	$1.2B

I did the math and yeah you’re right. It still has a shot at getting closer to $540 million that it would be to $500 million flat. It’s a tight call, tho! Nonetheless, I apologize for prematurely assuming that myself and StarkillerAG were locked in for winning that round.

No apologies. Actually, I didn’t even see your post when I made mine. I just wanted to make sure I finished what I started.

Star Wars: Reports of Obi-Wan Series Being Cancelled Have Been Debunked

https://comicbook.com/starwars/2020/01/18/star-wars-obi-wan-kenobi-series-not-cancelled-rumor-debunked

Characters like The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda are interesting because even though they happen in the past (relative to the most recent movies) I have no idea what will happen to them. Will they live or die? The same with the rumored sequel series to Rebels. I have no idea what happens to Ezra, Sabine, or Ahsoka. But when you go to the past and bring along characters like the original Yoda, I’m not going to be too concerned about any danger he is in, or temptation he has. I already know his story. The same with the Obi-Wan series.

Don’t get me wrong, I am interested in seeing both, and the upcoming season 7 of The Clone Wars, but I’d really like it if they put more resources to telling me all new stories with all new characters that I have no idea what will happen to them. Or at least continue a known character’s story that I don’t know the outcome of.
