I'm not even a Star Wars fan and I know all about "Han Shot First".

The MSRP on this is 140 for the complete and 70 each for the trilogies. I suggest everyone preorder in case that 50 dollar off price gets jacked up later.

I mean you are getting approx 33 percent off already, it won't get better than this for quite awhile.

I didn't grow up on SW. I was born too late and grew up on action movies of the 80s (was born in '86). Growing up though and later seeing SW on tape...and now seeing it in the eyes of a film major. YEAH...the CG is very distracting and the changes are mostly for the worse. Lucas could never clean that Han/Greedo scene cuz that little manipulation looks dirty and implausible to clean up, visually....at that time..maybe today he can digitally erase Ford and do it cleaner...

I was just thinking, you know what would be awesome?

Have a branching menu at the front that says Greedo and Han

Whichever one you pick it will put that one shooting first in that playthrough. That would be EPIC and make everyone happy

I know I don't have much room to complain, but I've had the LDs, the VHS and two sets of the DVD. I'm going to wait until this baby drops below $40. It will, by the way, just like everything else does. Heck, I bought the Alien set at Amazon for about that much - with a little finagling - a month ago.

I'm in.

I can't wait to marathon these.

I'm caving in although I've probably bought every incarnation of these movies since Star Wars was first available on VHS. Heck, I even bought the $250 Laser Disc set, so what's 90 more bucks? I'll hold onto my nonanamorphic DVDs of the originals though.

Good for you.

Fixed.

Why bother though? NO ONE (except Lucas himself apparently) would ever choose to watch the "Greedo shoots first" version.....in the thousands of posts I have seen by fans on the internet ever since the SE's debuted, I have never once read someone say they like that change....it is easily the most egregious alteration made to the original trilogy....

Kick ass drinking game though.. have a neutral party pick a random one and then take bets on which one they picked and watch

I got 5 shots on han

Actually Alien did go down a good amount for the holidays, especially in the week or so leading up to Black friday.
I ended up returning my Set that I had recieved from amazon the first day of release, because that last week before black friday alot of us were able to order, Alien legacy and Last of the mohicans togeather for a total of 55 bucks
thanks to that 20 off promo amazon had when you bought them both togeather.



the great thing with when alien released was that it was exactly one month before black friday, so i knew if something cheaper came along between release date and BF there would be time to return the original order.
this time since star wars is comming in Sept (in time for my BDAY) there wont be that luxary since BF is about 2 months after this releases in sept, but Heck its star wars I am more than happy to pay 89.99 for all 6 movies on blu.

Great thing about the pre order being up on amazon allready for me is that Iam able to order it while my free year of prime membership is in effect, so free 2 day shipping to recieve on release date,.

Its really awesome that the pre order price this is starting at is ten dollars less than alien legacy which was 2 fewer movies and 3 fewer discs. I was seriously expecting the pre order price for this start about 110-115 since alien started at 97.99-99.99
this could easily drop another 10 to 20 bucks between now and sept as well.

Um, it went down to $69.99 on Amazon the weekend before Thanksgiving. It also carries the same MSRP as the Complete Saga set.

Hell, Back to the Future went from a $79.99 MSRP to $24.99 on Amazon on Cyber Monday (granted the deal only lasted one minute, but I got one).

and it looks weird cuz it never actually happened. It's blatantly obvious there too...that weird shift....

Not gonna happen (anytime soon). Not only was Alien only 4 movies, it has a much smaller fan base.

And I'm also assuming you bought the UK version, so it's definitely not comparable because they havent a announced a UK edition of SW. And if you are talking about the US version of Alien at $40, you got it through some weird pricing mistake, not Amazon's sale price.

Bought.

I...can't....seem to....resist.....

Thanks for posting. I put in a pre-order to secure the reasonable $89.99 price just in case it goes up, but I still might end up canceling the order before it's released.

Its already #1 on Best Selling Blu-ray list while the original trilogy is at #5.

I wouldn't even call them special editions at this point, because that refers to the 1997 version, which is not what we got on DVD, we got all new cuts. Actually, knowing Lucas, I'm expecting all new cuts of all 6 movies on this set.

and I wonder where the prequel trilogy is on that list.

Right now... 70th.

And now #207.

Caveat Emptor, though, when it comes to picture quality - secrethistoryofstarwars.com/savingstarwars.html (I can't post URLs or I would've linked.)

It's a quick, fascinating read, and just another glimpse into the very short-sighted mind of George Lucas.
