If anything, if Hayden is in the film and gives us a good performance, that would redeem him in the Star Wars universe. People will see him as that excellent role in The Last Jedi and not annoying Anakin from the prequels.

I’m ok with him going to the con- as long as he isn’t in The Last Jedi.He is in it.
As long as he acts good in it, I’m fine with that. I’ll still be able to separate the sequel trilogy from the prequels. Not a big deal to me.
Lol people dislike Hayden so much that they think he’s the harbinger of bad news
Natural looking SEs. Hooray!
Wait a minute…
I mean, it’s not like every frame has CGI added to it
I think the price was lowered on the BD set because lots of people already own Star Wars on Blu-Ray
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?
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.
I got the entire set from an ebay buyer for around 35 dollars and it was brand new and sealed.
If the Darth Vader on the slip cover has any space above his head, it’s a bootleg. Little FYI because eBay is FLOODED with bootleg Star Wars DVDs and Blu Rays
Using this new rule of thumb I think I now can already distinguish fake from real:
Low Price REAL Set: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-The-Complete-Saga-Blu-ray-Disc-2011-9-Disc-Set-Boxed-Set-/201802729322?hash=item2efc61476a:g:xUYAAOSwA3dYkX0L

I got fleeced on a fake set once. The discs were obviously burned single layered BDs with crappily printed art on them.

NOTHING about any announcement being one of the “surprises”.
It’s almost as if we’re speculating…
A new release of the SE wouldn’t be anywhere near as big of a deal as a restored OOT.
This “surprise announcement” (very vague) will either be the unaltered versions hitting blu-ray at long last or have nothing at all to do with a re-release of the movies.
I’m at a loss to think of what else it could possibly be if it’s not the OOT, but it’s definitely not the SE. Such an announcement would be met with “oh, that was it? meh.”
Either a home video release of the OOT or a 4K UHD release of the SEs
Yeah, a thread called Petition Wars: Return of The Fans
I would even settle for them telling us right now in 2017 that it won’t be completed until 2020. Again, that would at least be something.
It has nothing to do with 2020. Despite the distribution rights deal, this is just an arbitrary excuse date you (and others) have assigned to the issue.
Disney has no plans to restore the OOT. None. It should be painfully obvious by now that Lucasfilm and Kennedy have discretion on this question and they simply don’t care.
Other than the fact that five years have gone by without any confirmation, you have no knowledge of such plans. NONE.
I agree. Fake news!
You can see the early stages of the goiter
I personally believe that Disney/Fox/Lucasfilm at this point are fully aware that we want the OOT on Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital
How could they not? It’s so painfully obvious people want the original unaltered versions. They can’t be that blind.

I dunno. Not sure about the power of a petition asking a corporation to release a product. What that does or doesn’t accomplish. Do you guys think that the original petition is what persuaded Lucasfilm to release the 2006 DVD sets?
At this point I think the main reason I’m hoping this 4K OOT happens is so that I can stop coming here for bootlegs and getting sucked into the whirlpool of combativeness and negativity the General Star Wars Discussion board has become.
So I only just noticed that the link on the main page to the petition has been removed.
That was already seven years ago, and it didn’t get nearly as many signatures as the original one from the dvd days. Now a 4k-on-disc format is actually a thing.
If we don’t hear so much as a peep out of celebration, should we seriously consider a new one?
It could be worded to reflect the advances in home video technology and addressed, politely, to Disney, Fox, and GL (out of respect).
I’m just saying, we don’t need to have negativity just because Disney continues to deny us what’s ours. We can put that energy into something positive if we choose to.
I find the thought of starting up yet another petition to be a pointless idea. It should be evident that millions of people want the OOT simply from the visible view counts OOT videos on YT have gotten. The thousands of comments left by disgruntled OOT fans.
That GIF shouldn’t be using the special edition explosion. For shame!
It’s stylistically designed to be that way and you can’t undo that. Nor will you diminish the effects of it.
Is there an adblocker-type app to block any use of “butthurt?”
I’d pay good money for it.
I’ve seen word replacers over the years; maybe that might help?
Was just making a point.
No this is how you do that.

You’re wrong! This sub forum isn’t monolithically bad!
You’re wrong! How could you even say that?!?!
Ah, it’s gonna be a fun four weeks until that celebration panel.
AND BEYOND. Lucasfilm has NO PLANS to do anything. It’s been FIVE YEARS!!! I KNOW!!!
Was that a legit outburst or were you trying to beat Alderaan to the punch??
Alderaan is butt hurt because the Death Star blew him up, thus defeating the chance of ever seeing how cool the cities were on his planetary ass
That a documentary made in 2004 wasn’t shot in HD, (if only to future proof it) is weird.
Are you kidding? There were tv shows back then not filmed in HD, nevermind a silly documentary.
Shows shot on videotape, sure. Again, the industry knew HD was around the corner. Unless those involved thought a comprehensive doc about Star Wars and it’s impact on the world was an ephemeral project.
You consider EOD silly?
Empire of Dreams and Dangerous Days are my all time favorite film documentaries
That a documentary made in 2004 wasn’t shot in HD, (if only to future proof it) is weird.
So if anything, we’ll get an upscaled version of it
Not that it has been completed, just that somebody says they worked on it.
I love that documentary, hope it’s true.
Bill Hunt has just found out that the negative was conformed to the Special Edition. The man on the Steve Hoffman Forums that worked on the DVD back in 2004 said after reading Bill Hunt’s piece, “I’ve been saying that since 2004”.
Well, atleast we have official confirmation that the original clippings have been maintained.That’s something
Aaaanyways. I can watch the SE of A New Hope without getting too irritated. The SE of Empire doesn’t bother me at all (unless if it’s the 1997 one) and the SE of Jedi is almost unwatchable (I can kind of sit through the 1997 version)
That doesn’t look good. Keep in mind though that the blu-ray image appears to have been zoomed in, so it’s hard to say. Why is the iTunes HD copy different? Did they release a better version in HD? This may be an example of a really bad transfer in the early days of blu-ray that got remedied years later. This happened a lot, two that I can think of that were released in poor quality and then remedied later were Gladiator and Lethal Weapon.
The iTunes is I think a different resolution. Bluray screenshot is not zoomed in. That’s how it really looks: http://images3.static-bluray.com/reviews/8452_13_1080p.jpg
So, not only has the film been shagged by DNR but it’s also the wrong aspect ratio.
Wait what happened to the film print of The Phantom Menace?
