One thing that has surprised me is that there have been no TV spots advertising the Blu-ray set on TV here in the UK and it comes out on Monday.

I don't think I have seen any here in the US either now that you mention it.

I've seen a ton of them here lately, and I don't even have a TV. Seems like they're on every commercial break in the cafeteria or the gym.

 

It's funny, because the volume is always way low on the TVs around campus, but I can always hear an AT-AT firing, or a lightsaber igniting and my head immediately snaps up to look for the source.

You know, I still have not seen any LOL on TV, but DAMN when I walk into Best Buy or Walmart it is on ALL screens in the Store.

I just can't wait to walk into the Store tomorrow and see people boycotting and telling potential buyers not to buy, and handing out stickers and flyers and such, I bet there will be NONE of this LMAO! it is all just people on a few forums with a large dose of keyboard courage ranting and raving.

George Lucas has NOT swayed in his decision for how many years? and you think it is going to magically change now from ALL the Fans? how hard is it to just accept reality and move on? there are plenty of alternatives to watch at the moment, and if, by some miracle he does change his mind at some point, well then we will ALL be 1 happy undivided Fan Group again now won't we?

And I NEVER said georgec that I was going to enjoy them, I have not seen them yet, I am going to use them, just like a few others here are, is that a problem?

Well unfortunately do to family complications. I will not get to go to Wal-Mart at midnight tonight. To bad I was looking forward to NOT buying the blu rays.

But if any of you fined your self at Wal-Mart at midnight tonight.

Stand buy the big cardboard display and tell any one that is going to buy it.

“You do not want to buy these blu rays.”

“ They are not the films your looking for.”.

 

Their responses will be, "But it's Star Wars on blu! I gotta have it, LOL."

That response is getting as tiresome as those whom you are joking with.

Not as tiring as your irrational obsession with quoting my posts.

You need a different hobby.

But what you said IS tiresome, and it is getting real old, real fast, if people want to buy these so be it, leave them the F alone, it is NOT like they are spending YOUR money now is it? my little Boy and I are going to get the Saga Set in the morning, and I can't wait to sit and watch them with him(he has already watched my custom Blu's) so you going to give me shit now to? WTF!

Some people!

How do others see the originaltrilogy.com community?

And don't forget about ALL the dumbass "rape" talk too, and the people that talk about wanting GL's death so they can hope that they get their movies, there is a lot of stupid talk lately, and it is pretty pathetic, in my opinion.

Like I have said several times, this place is NOT like it used to be a few short years ago, it has changed quite a bit, and not all for the good, miss the "good old" days of OT.

1 more thing, hopefully once the Set has been out for a while most of this crazy shit will pass, and maybe some of the "nut jobs" will too, we can only hope.

No, but that area is usually the transparent plastic anyway.

No it isn't, not if you get printable DVDr's, they are white all the way to the hub, that is what most people use now, I used to back when I burned a lot of DVD's, it is to bad these do not go all the way to the hub, would have looked a lot nicer, and you are really a Luke fan aren't you LOL.

It's funny, there were three deleted scenes from the PT that I really wanted to see, one for each movie.

TPM: Obi Wan gets lectured for shorting out his lightsaber in the Naboo swamp. Always seemed like a good scene, nice to have some sorely missed master-student stuff.

AOTC: Padme in the Lars homestead and gives 3P0 his coverings/ alternate 3P0 intro. I'm glad in some ways this was cut because I feel like it could drag the pace, but this seemed like a really good character moment in a film that was awkward and cold.

ROTS: Original Anakin turns sequence. This could have blown people's minds! A solid 10-minutes or so of the core sequence of the film which plays out completely different, with 80% new footage. Why??

There's a lot of little scene extensions that I know they didn't include, like more dialogue between Anakin and Padme after he saves them from Sebulba and onboard the ship in AOTC dressed as refugees, because portions of them are in the outtakes. But they left out a lot of the more interesting scenes.

DAMN, all 3 of those sound pretty cool, are these available anywhere? or did you just read about them?

I just stuck in ESB and the first thing i noticed is some horrible motion smearing. This is really noticeable during the crawl where the crawl actually seems to drag the stars into streaks as it recedes . This was a problem with the 2004 transfer although hardly noticeable on the DVDs but it looks terrible in 1080p

Ady, are you watching this on your retail BD now, or is this the "other" copy? if it is retail now, that sux. I still can't check anything until Friday.

Thanks

Does it bother you?

What site is it? 

It is not that it bothers, it IS common courtesy to at least let the creator know that this is going to happen and if they have any issues with it, I just found a few weeks ago that some whatever put the V3 Set up on the newsgroups, do you think this whatever had the courtesy to let me know? well the person didn't, so for me, it is cool that it was shared, but the person that did it, well, I will keep what I think about that to myself.

dark_jedi, any more thought given to uploading the new encodes? I've got v3 ready to burn, but I don't want to waste the discs if a even better version is coming.

Thanks,

ST

You may as well go ahead and burn them, I am only thinking about doing this, most may not want to, or know how to, swap out the video, plus I am not done yet with ESB, and I may go back and do a few more tweaks on SW and ROTJ, but just not 100% sure yet, so even if I did decide to do it, it is going to be a while before it is done.
