So far as the movies go I've watched Ep I and II. TPM is leaps and bounds better than the dvd. The pink is gone and the picture is glorious in most places except for a few moment with some DNR. It doesn't ruin the experience though. AOTC looks great as well, but it's hard to appreciate it because the DVD looked great too. I'm hearing that ROTS is Avatar level in terms of PQ so I'm looking forward to that.

I don't think so either really. For me it's more of, why would I want to pay 80-90 bucks for something that I know I won't like? Just doesn't make sense.

I want the original trilogy unmolested. I don't mind most of the changes, but I won't support G.L. thinking we will forget what we saw in the theater 30+ years ago.

Not a big deal, as I have nice HD caps of the OT, and they will "work" for now, without giving Lucas more money.

I guess I'm "boycotting" Spooky Buddies as well now.

This IS a very well put-together Blu-ray release, regardless of what you think of the changes to the movies. I still have both my widescreen laserdiscs and the non-anamorphic OT that were released on DVD a few years back to go look at if/when I want to see the unaltered versions.

These posts are fun to read though...I particularly enjoyed the guy who said he had it in his hands with about a 1% chance of buying it. Really? If there was a 1% chance, why did you even pick up the box? :)

This is a straw man argument. Nobody has said that Lucas has made their life miserable. However, many people don't like the changes to the OT, don't like the PTs at all, and don't like that getting the relevant extras require paying a high price tag.

That series has gone downhill since it moved away from what made it great in the first place: dogs playing sports. I'm voting with my wallet and hitting Disney where it hurts!

I agree that arguing with Katie Lucas on Twitter is ridiculous, but she was dumb enough to egg on the fans with her post, "The haters will hate and complain...and then they will buy the boxset." She was almost inviting every idiot who hates her dad to reply to it.

I love movies too. Hell, one of my degrees are in film. However, I think "revisionist cinema" is bullshit and that's why I will never pick up the set.

If you're a director and you couldn't release the film you wanted to make due to factors outside of your control, like studio politics, the MPAA giving the film a harder rating than desired, budgetary issues, whatever. Then you're allowed to make a director's cut.

If you're a director and you got to make the film you wanted, why are you going back to the well? Do you have no other ideas? "Well, technology is better now than it was in 1977." No, get out of here.

How many times has Ridley Scott gone back to the well and edited Alien and Blade Runner? However, what's been present on the DVD and Blu-ray releases of those films? All of the cuts starting with the theatrical. James Cameron, who practically now swims in money like Scrooge McDuck, what does he do? He makes multiple cuts of his films like Aliens, The Abyss, T2, Avatar, etc. What's on the DVD and Blu-ray release of those films? All of the multiple cuts.

I used to be a fan of Star Wars, but the way Lucas has been treating his fans for years has just put me off. Paramount has learned (some of) the errors of the ways with the way they treated the Star Trek franchise. You think maybe Lucas would do the same...

And yet here you are in the Star Wars thread. ;)

EDIT: FWIW, I felt the same way after I felt betrayed by Heroes. After I gave up on that show after Season 3, I still had to chime in to the Season 4 threads occasionally because my hatred was so strong, haha...

Is there a list of all the Spoofs in the blu-ray set? I'd eventually like to sit through all of them, but right now, I'm just kind of poking around. I thought they'd each have their own chapter point, but this is not the case.
