The EPKs don't cost anything. Those are all made during the movie's initial marketing. When you have to hire a crew to shoot, edit a long-form documentary and then try to get cast and crew to agree to be interviewed, that's where you run into problems and that also costs money. I heard that any documentary that runs over 1 hour, you need to pay the participants, especially SAG members.

You'd think at the very least they include some comicon panels or other panels like talk shows. I don't expect like the entire cast to come back for a commentary but between Marvel, Star Wars, and their animation, you'd think there'd be oodles of bonuses they could include if they wanted.

It's sad that Star Wars fans have been able to put together massive bonus feature compilations that Fox has never done.

It's actually anything over 30 minutes, which is why you often see documentaries split apart into half-hour featurettes on DVD and Blu-ray.

CBS Films owns the Star Trek TV shows. Paramount is just distributor. However, I've heard a rumor that CBS may be folded back into Paramount at some point.

Regardless, I wouldn't rule a restoration of DS9 or Voyager completely out of the question. Even if disc sales were poor, having restored high-def masters available is valuable for streaming and syndication packages.

Shit. I worded that poorly. What I meant to say:

And yeah, even 4k.

I bought the first DVDs because they were the first DVDs (of course) and I only have the Blu-ray saga set because I found a used copy several years ago at a decent price.
But yeah, no more of 1-6 until the UOT is released.

At this point, I'm pretty satisfied with the Harmy editions of the original trilogy as well as the option to watch the Silver Screen Edition of Star Wars. They're only 720p but they're a pretty great way to watch the original cuts of these films all things considered. I too won't be buying a commercial release of the original trilogy again until the unaltered versions are released properly.

He speaks 27 words, huge difference.

Is the Zorro tv show ever going to be in HD?

Project 4K80 should be finished next year. 4k77 and 4k83 are available, btw. Although I am not sure if I like those better than Harmy's Despecialized Editions.

What are the odds Disney includes the OOT in this release? 50 to 1?

Boba Fett is such a bad ass that he is taken out by a blind man who did nothing but turn around.

The Harmy editions are spectacular.

There's no reason to not seek them out. Disney/Lucasfilm has no interest in relesing a product the fans want, so seek them out however you can.

I did and it was the best disc based acquisition I ever made. The fans DO know what the fans want.

And I didn't realized that I'd never seen the unaltered trilogy in it's proper aspect ratio. I only had VHS as a kid.

Disney can take my money if/when the OT is ever released. Other than that, I will pass.

My thoughts exactly.

And - pardon the short detour off-topic - this just happened with the CBS/Viacom merge. All Star Trek materials are now under one roof again.

I noticed that amazon finally put Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope With Added Rocks up for preorder on BD if interested.

Now if we can just get these on 4K....
Oh wait a minute, it's Disney. They will hold off for at least a year so that they can double dip into the bank accounts of those that do not have the patience to wait.

Yep, impulsive consumer behavior is the key driver of the North American economy!

I won't. I'm done by the special editions in any form or format.

If the OOT were released day and date on Bd with the SEs on UHD, I'd happily buy the OOT (well, not RotJ , if I can help it) and ignore the 4K discs.

I'll also happily pick up Rogue One on UHD anytime it;s available. Just watched it again a week or so back and every viewing just drives home how much SW lost it's way for me after ESB.
At this point, it's the only film in the franchise I can watch and wholeheartedly enjoy, and without reflexively grinding my teeth at some point.

I still have the DVD Toy Story Box Set which was great with all of the extras.

Same. I also bought the DTS remaster DVDs and used multi disc cases to combine them into the Toy Box set.

Since Disney now owns Fox, any chance they will add back the classic 20th Century Fox opening to the original movies? They just don't seem the same without that opening when I watch them on digital.
