re: Star Wars
Does anyone else find it appropriate that they had Vader on stage pledging the support of the Galactic Empire for this release? It's like Lucas knows how his fans view him.

Still a little cheaper than expected - $139 US for the complete set (9 discs), $69 US for either trilogy (3 discs each). It does look like the bonus stuff would only be in the complete set.
September is also a bit earlier than expected.

From the trailer for the promo, it didn't look like they've fixed Vader's pink saber and it's weird interaction with Luke's when they struck together in front of the Emperor.

He does, his last appearance on The Daily Show confirmed that he knows people hate him and the changes, but he doesn't care.

re: Star Wars
Wow...fantastic price on Amazon. I was a definite "no" on this...but the last few months I've been rethinking my stance. My son has started to get interested in Star Wars (he's only 2 and a half) with his mini mighty mugg figures that he got for Christmas.
But...after watching that video on starwars.com I don't think I can do it. I found myself cringing watching the prequel stuff. I was hoping time away from the prequels would let me relax my views and look at them in a better light...and unfortunately that is not the case. I'm still up in the air on the Original Trilogy SE on Blu-ray though. I'm glad Lucasfilm decided to offer both separate so I don't have to fork over the full $90 if I change my stance on the SE's.
Still...crazy good pricing. Kudos to Lucasfilm for that and for the fans that enjoy the prequels and the SE's.

My stance is, I watched them on pan-and-scan VHS copies for 17 odd years; non-anamorphic transfers with stereo soundtracks are still an upgrade over that.

re: Star Wars
As lifelong huge fan (nothing Lucas can do will ever kill my love for the original story and characters), I'll likely buy the set for completions sake, but still watch the non-anamorphic unmolested OT DVDs.

I will probably end up buying the SE on Blu-ray for my son. He has seen "A New Hope" a few times and loves it. Yes...it's PG...but I "parentally guide" him through the movie. He already has his favorite characters...mostly the "bad guys"...
Anyway...I don't want to change the direction of the thread. I am honestly astonished and happy these will be available in separate trilogy releases...and $45 is a steal.
