Star Wars Question
I recently started my dvd collection (lol and its quite expensive) but i've held off on buying star wars since i wanted a 1-6 super duper limited edition set lol but i realized it might be a while till then and with the new hd/bluray coming that i should just buy the dvd's now. But here are my questions.
1. How many releases have there been on the star wars 4-6? (dvd only) 2. Wats the difference between the the 4 disk episode 4-6 and the 3 disk episode 4-6? (i've read up on this using the search and havent come up with any solid conclusions) 3. Any eta on a 1-3 set or a 1-6 set? 4. Are there any other star wars related dvd's? (like clone wars 1, 2) Thanks everybody this forums been extremely helpful (altho money demanding) |

There is also the dvd that Wal-Mart was giving away as a bonus with Episode III.
GuruTwo, the only reason LucasFilm archives are being raided is because they are burning anything that has to do with the originals. CGI4LIFE |
There have been four: the four-disc version in widescreen, the four-disc version in fullscreen, the three-disc version in widescreen and the three-disc version in fullscreen. Silver5656, it's all but guaranteed that they'll be releasing a 1-6 film box set. In fact, they're already working on it according to many reports. It was even mentioned officially by McCallum, although there's been no definitive announcement. It's way too early. I personally doubt that this box set it going to be released in hi-def DVD. Why? Because I find it hard to believe that Lucas will release a huge box set of his crown jewel on a format in it's infancy, especially when we're about to have a format war. Consider the fact that Lucas waited forever for the DVD format to achieve a huge installed base, before he released the original trilogy. That's my own theory as to why the box set won't be in HD. |
Don't forget Lucas waited an awful long time to release Star Wars on VHS too. Yes, I expect it will be at least five more years (maybe longer) before Star Wars in on an HD format.

The question is, do you really want to see Star Wars in the HD format. When picture quality is so 3-dimensional it can lose the film quality effect, in which it could change the original Star Wars flicks into looking like sets...as it looks with the new bad prequels - everything looks fake in the background with Lucas's obsession with the blue screen. The HD may take the realism and escapism out of the old films.

Well, theatrical prints still exhibit far more resolution than 1080i/p so I don't think that will be an issue.

I think you're just looking for something to pick on at this point. |

Yes, it's a record that it took that long. |
I'd say pick up the movies now, you get a lot of enjoyment out of them and who knows, the extra's maybe different on the next release
|
I know there are plenty of copies still out there, but is the four-disc release of the OT now out of print?
|
sooo.... anything new on this yet? I too am waiting for a 1-6 set, a 1-3 box set or the movies on HD or BD. Any news would be appreciated.

I've got all the 2-disc versions of the movies separately (along with the bonus disc from the box set), so unless the rumored box set for all the movies is TRULY a definitive release (again along with the original theatrical cuts, preferably anamorphic), I can stick with what I've got. |
