Any Word on a Star Wars box set?
 

Has anybody heard any news on this subject? I heard Lucas was releasing a comprehensive 6 film set on the new blue ray DVDs. Is this true? If so, when?

This is the obligatory,"this should be in the Star Wars thread" post :saber:

I'd like a SHOWGIRLS Box Set.

Get it?? "Showgirls"... "Box"... hehehe--OWW!!!

I wish Lucas would so nobody would ask about it anymore.

Can we get a set of the original movies unedited please!? :D

There will be no possible way you will miss the news of such an announcement. When finally released, this set will be a major news item.

Well, that and the tide of geeks supplicating in the streets.

<-- Had to look up the word "supplicating" :o

look how long it took him to release the originals on dvd. Chances are we wont see the new star wars films on dvd anytime soon.

Someday... sure.

But that will be years from now. Lucas is not going to release something as huge as Star Wars on a format that only has a few adopters. He's going to wait until the format (Blu-ray, or whatever) has huge market penetration with millions of households.

You have a long wait if you're expecting a high def Star Wars set.

Star Wars? Never heard of it. I think you mean Star Trek.

Maybe when the next format comes out.

Not to be anal, but there's no such thing as "blue ray DVDs". DVDs are one technology and Blue Ray discs are another technology. That's like asking when your favorite band will release their new CD record (you do remember records I hope).

I agree that Lucas will hold on to Star Wars until tons of people are crying for them and most people are itching to buy them in hi-def.

Those who say Lucas will not produce a high-definition Star Wars set until Blue-Ray has solid footing are probably correct. But I hope he does something more with standard DVD. I would love to see a mega set of all six films with the rumored further changes to the original three. (Don't care to pine for the classics anymore. Losing battle.)

The 30th anniversary of ANH is coming up next year, and I wouldn't be surprised to see something happen for that. Then again, as I think about it, aren't they prepping a 3D version to be shown in specially equipped theaters within the next year or two? Maybe that is what they're planning for the big anniversary.
