ST TFA DVD/Blu-ray Discussion

I haven't taken them out yet, I have the Wallmart BB-8, the main one they sell at all the stores, the Target Exclusive, and the Best Buy Steel Book! the only one I use is the Target one, that I put in Jewel cases to protect them from scips and finger prints...

I am still loving this set and feel we got a lot of content, besides a Director Commentary, and Trailers the set had everything I wanted Feturettes, a Documentary that is over an hour long and deleted scenes, like I said besides a Director commentary and trailers I got everything I was looking for!

that's not to say if they come out with more Blu-Ray sets, and they will, that I wouldn't be opposed to buying them !!!

 

I just got this for my birthday (on the 14th) and watched it again with my family and can say I LOVED it as much as ever. When Han died I felt the same way and all I could say when it was over was that movie's awesome. I'll dig into the special features later but am so glad I own it now.

 

I made this little vid showing the differences in the DVD cases of the episodes;



What do you guys think of the case design, especially when you're trying to view them as a set? (They weren't bought as a set. Only the OT was a set, the PT and STpart1 were bought individually at the time of release.)

 

One thing that i deslike was the interviews, much Boba Feet, ops Captain Phasma, and absolutely NOTHING of General Hux.

 

It would've been nice if the cases matched more, however, since the movie seems to be the start of a new story in the series, rather than a piece of the first story, it's kind of fitting.

 

Happy birthday... cool present to receive.

Discussing it here in this thread is fine / preferable. And on that note, I haven't watched the documentary yet.

 

I don't have the matching problem...

 

The steelbooks are more similar. Not perfect, but similar enough.

 

My problem with the steelbooks is that you've got Maul, Greivous, Vader, a stormie, the Emperor, Kylo... And Yoda.
With all the other cases having villains on them, why put Yoda? Why??!

 

Well, here's a super-advanced twist: select chapter 2 to start at the "long time ago" screen then immediately hit the "back" button to get to the Lucasfilm logo. The bonus? You don't have to sit through the MPAA berating you in text form for almost 20 seconds at the start! (you only see that screen, and it's unskippable, if you select "play" from the beginning)

 

Anyone else have an issue with purchasing a copy of TFA on ebay and receiving a bootleg? I've done 2 BIN purchases on ebay, and both copies were bootlegs from different sellers. One was nearly perfect - but it was off enough that I could notice. The other had the wrong cover art, disc art, and disc menu. I purchased the BR version for myself at Target on the release date, but wanted extra DVDs as gifts - doubt I'll buy media on ebay again because of this...

 

why would you do that in the first place?

 

I didn't have a proper cover, so I made my own. I was going to put Kylo or Rey on the front cover at first then decided to put the man himself on it. Luke Skywalker returns.



And yes, this layout is reversed (should be back, spine, front). It looks better posting it this way.

 

Any word of more online deleted scenes. I need to see more!

 

SW: The Force Awakens: Unseen Alien Footage

 

See I disagree, it looked cheap and tacky, to me. This is a scene where some CGI (and a few already-established alien species) would have made it much better.

 

I finally got around to watching the blu-ray special features. It was really a delightful watch all the way through. The cast and crew's enthusiasm is infectious.

 

Hmmm, too bad I don't have a Blu-Ray player otherwise the special features will have been something I can check out... The EZI-DVD I have is okay though, with the same good quality we enjoyed when watching the movie in the theaters!

not really.

 

Hey are we going to have a TFA chapter by chapter discussions? Like a thread for each chapter. I'm sure I remember seeing loads of threads dedicated to individual chapters back in the days of AOTC and ROTS!
