Do we get discounts on this new box set if we prove we have bought previous versions (or ‘visions’) many, many, many times before? 😉
No. You just get a button that says “I’ve been duped” in the Star Wars font.
Does not include Rogue One, yet uses a very Rogue One image for the box. Named “The Skywalker Saga”, yet does not use any Skywalkers on the box. Huh.
I don’t agree with your first point but very much agree with the second.
I can only imagine it’s temp artwork until it’s officially announced.
Where is the article being published?
I can’t believe this was the only reporter to ask this question. But I’m also giving him a huge pat on the back for having the balls to do it.
I don’t have 4K equipment yet, so I’m mostly interested in the special features and if there will be anything new in there. I imagine that I might replace my Blu-ray collection with something like this in a few years, but for now it seems too expensive. Especially considering that you could get almost 4 years of Disney+ for that money, and watch the 4K versions that way.
It also seems weird to put both the 4K and HD versions in the same massive set. If you have a 4K player you don’t need the HD discs and if you don’t have one you’d only want the HD discs. This way it just makes it unnecessarily expensive and probably physically huge as well.
if you don’t care about quality then, sure, you could get 4 years of Disney+.
Remember, you own nothing with Disney+ and you’ll have to subscribe for the rest of your life to get those movies. AND you have to hope they don’t ever remove those particular movies.
I’ll never understand anyone’s interest in something that’s streaming only. That gives the studios the power.
Also, if you look at all 4k releases, they always come with the regular HD versions. Disney never includes any bonus features on the 4k discs, including commentaries. That means that if you want any of that, you have to include the HD disc.
I give this all the likes.
😃 😃 😃 Thank you 😃
It’s now been removed.
I think this was the image from the removed link? (likely concept / placeholder art - though you never know):-
Nope. Click the link above. It’s gone.
Clearly someone screwed up in a major way.
The way that JJ said it was…careful. He chose his words very carefully.
Even if that interviewer followed up, he wouldn’t have been specific.
I never believed in the past that there was something in the contract that said Disney could never release the OUT but, after that response, I’m not really so sure.
It’s now been removed.
There is a discussion about the JJ interview with NowThis from last week, here mate:-

Shocking that it’s buried in some random thread…
Great video! He actually says “despecialized” but also says he can’t get Disney to release the original unaltered versions.

Added that it’s a 27 disc set, according to the specs!
THAT’S TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THAT
EDIT: did the math and it works out to ~$36/movie. Absolutely insane. Short of the OOT, i can’t begin to conceive what kind of special features it would need to have to justify that price.
I’ve got news for you - the Marvel Best Buy exclusive set comes with none. It’s only the 4k discs and it was $550. It’s sold out.
Up for pre-order - 27 disc set!
“All nine movies of the Star Wars Skywalker Saga available for the first time in one collection. The saga will end. The story lives forever.”
Mod Edit on 29th January: a new working link - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/star-wars-9-movie-collection-digital-copy-4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-blu-ray-only--best-buy/6393929.p?skuId=6393929&intl=nosplash - $249.99 US (‘includes a digital copy’).
Just for information… this thread may also be of interest as to the 2019 SE releases:-
Disney+ streaming platform : Star Wars content & various other info - in ‘General Star Wars Discussion’ - page 3 onwards…
There is also an 18-disc blu ray ‘Skywalker Saga’ box set - Amazon link - for £65 (the 9 films on blu ray and the 9 bonus discs).
And also a 9-disc DVD ‘Skywalker Saga’ box set - Amazon link - for £45 (just for the 9 films on DVD).
It’s missing from the Blu-ray as well??
Where did that quote come from?
Google is always your friend. 😉

I did. It didn’t yield any results. Thank you.

When I worked at Lowry Digital Images, we restored the entire Young Indiana Jones Chronicles at 1080p at least, though I’m pretty sure it was a higher resolution than that. So the HD masters are out there.

Ooooooooooohh…
That is so cool. I wonder why they aren’t releasing them along with the movies?
JimJimBinks - 7 years ago
I don’t know. Maybe they’re prepping for a bigger release. At the time Lucas made the Young Indy Chronicles, he wanted it all to be for sale on an “Interactive CD-ROM” complete with learning materials about actual historical events talked about or shown in each episode.
Where did that quote come from?
I will be shocked if Disney releases very many catalog discs anymore, including Star Wars. I truly hope I’m wrong. But I bet they’re all in on Disney+ and none of those remaining Pixar movies will get discs
Are The Clone Wars series in 4K HDR? I remember MSW saying they were remastering the series in 4K a few years back.
The movie definitely isn’t
Yep. Just checked. Jesus, they’ve changed it again.
Someone else already uploaded them to the spleen. Thank you anyway!!!
I bought Plastic Galaxy in HD online but it has none of the bonus features. The DVD is now OOP as well. Does anyone know where to find them? Looked in the “usual” place but came up with nothing…
Good news.
It’s up at the usual place.
I’m really surprised that no one has been able to purchase some of the film prints from the UK to scan.
Some leaked D23 footage. Spoiler alert!

Did anyone save it?
