Saga Star Wars Saga to be released digitally on April 10th?

Here is a link on VUDU website. We are going to be getting the movies and what looks to be new bonus features.

I think it will be safe to say that these will also come out on iTunes and Disney movies anywhere.

Hopefully this is true.

 

Based off the trailers they stitched together for all six films, they're using the 2011 Blu-ray editions for the entire Saga. I highly doubt they made any further edits to any of the movies, it'd be a really weird thing to do now that Lucas isn't directly involved anymore.

Also, notice how every movie but A New Hope says "Disney Movies Anywhere" on the bottom of the image, and the '20th Century Fox' logo is absent from every trailer except for A New Hope's. It looks like Disney decided to buy the distribution rights to I-III, V, and VI early, as opposed to waiting until 2020 for them to revert, and worked out some sort of a deal with Fox concerning IV.

 

Why release on VUDU of all places? Where's the announcement? The pictures used for the movies are very bootleg-looking.

This feels very fake to me.

 

Something is definitely out of place here

 

Why not VUDU? As I said before I am certain these will be released on iTunes and Google Play and all. As for why Disney/LucasFilm hasn't said anything you will have to ask them.

 

Ugh, the Special Editions. Do not want or care.

If they were to original cuts, this might mean something. Hope Celebration brings real change.

 

I wonder when it comes to the deleted scenes if they will have some that were not featured on the Blu-ray? Such as the scene were Luke tries to escape from the Rancor pit.

As far as the prequels go, it seems we'll be getting the finished deleted scenes as seen in the DVD releases.

 

Really puzzling why this is getting no big marketing push.

 

Because its just the blu-ray cuts on streaming. Who really cares in a year with The Force Awakens and a possible OOT release?

 

Star Wars fans, casual movie fans who stream

Regardless, the fact is it's rather strange that an ostensibly money loving company such as Disney would not be promoting this at all

 

They probably think a mere banner on the iTunes store home page will suffice which lbr, it probably will. It's Star Wars!

 

I just checked the page again out of sheer curiosity, and it no longer loads all the way, it's just a black page. If you search Star Wars in the search bar, it doesn't come up either, you just get seasons of The Clone Wars. So, it looks like they jumped the gun and put up the page before they were supposed to. Maybe we'll get some confirmation between now and April 10, like that one advert at Wal-mart indicated? Or maybe they're postponing the release by a bit and announcing it formally at Celebration? Either way, I really hope we get an announcement for an OOT Blu-ray release later this year as well, but that's neither here nor there.

 

I'm thinking postponement as well. Apparently Vudu forums deleted a thread about this and they are no longer responding to inquiries (including mine). I wouldn't place any bets on being able to buy these this Friday.

 

Paid digital copies?

Interesting concept.

 

I'm still not sure about this one. I would think they would be pushing this in marketing.

"Relive the magic of the Star Wars Saga before the release of The Force Awakens!" Something of that nature.

 

The Star Wars YouTube just put up a bunch of trailers.

 

Better late then never on the announcement huh?

 

The article on Star Wars.com says so. It's official, and they are coming to all streaming services. And with never-before-seen extras.

The price seems a bit too much, though, looking around various places.

 

Unfortunately the extras aren't enough by themselves. My complete Blu-Ray set suits me fine for the time being

 

Will the FOX logo and fanfare be included on episodes I-III, V and VI?

 

My guess is no, but I'm really interested in finding out. I think this may give us our first hint of what the beginning of TFA will look/sound like.

 

I'm guessing a silent Lucasfilm logo leading into the Star Wars theme, though with VII I have to wonder if Bad Robot will appear in the opening titles? Seems that like Marvel's films, there will be no Disney logo. Not that I expected one, but these releases pretty much confirm a Disney-free intro.
