Full Series The Clone Wars: Season 1 DVD/Blu-Ray Official Discussion & FAQ (No Season 2 Spoilers Allowed)

I just got the DVD box set along with TFU: Ultimate Sith Edition for PS3. The art book included in it is very very beautiful. Lots of great concept images. Starting to watch it now.

 

If anyone has the Blu ray edition Of the Boxset can you please tell me if there is a Asajj Ventress digital turntable!

Just a heads up. It appears that Best Buy does not have the Blu-Ray in stock yet. Checked in Orange, Riverside & LA Counties (California) as well as selected New York, Chicago & Florida stores and none show it available. The store manager here in Irvine, CA checked his computer as well and while they did have the DVD, he was very surprised that he couldn't find a store anywhere that had the Blu-Ray.

 

you're not the only one that got skunked! I actually got an email that said my order would be ready for pickup on Nov. 3rd. So, I went in there today and was told that they didn't get it and that it was a chain wide problem. Not only did none of the 6 stores in my city have it, but none of the stores in the country have it. They had the SD DVD on the shelf, but no Blu-Ray. I'm kind of mad right now.

Where is everyone else finding these Blu-Ray sets at? If I didn't get such a good deal through Best Buy's website, I'd be half tempted to cancel my order and pick it up at Wal-Mart; however, I think it'll pay to be patient.

 

I just got the DVD. I am not that big over Blu-Ray.

 

What's the soundtrack on the DVD? Is it both Dolby Digital and DTS or just DTS? Many people will want to get this set, but to tell them you can get it only if your equipment can decode DTS would be silly.

 

Haven't gotten mine yet, I checked Amazon and they shipped it yesterday and I should(hopefully) get it by Thursday...uggh, two more days, but I'll be patient. And the added features sound great!

 

Yep nowhere in central california and I mean NOWHERE...Best Buy,Target,Walmart,Specialty Stores NOBODY has the Blu-Ray yet which is very unprofessional and is pissing alot of people off.

 

Okay, I found an Easter Egg in the Jedi Temple Archives. I was on the page with the Ahsoka turntable art and I clicked the Jedi Logo (the design Obi-Wan and Anakin have on their shoulder armor) in the upper right hand corner, and I got a feature about the voices of the Clone Wars where Dave Filoni messes with the voice actor who plays Obi-Wan as he makes fun of Dave's writing (it was basically a blank page with a couple a dots).

It's not hard to find, it's very clickable. You can access it from any part of the Jedi Archives interface. But I stumbled upon it while trying to get back to the main menu.

 

Going to start watching some episodes today, maybe all four discs, if I have the time.

 

Yeah I think that's the only Easter Egg on Disc 1; I changed episode in the Temple and clicked on that button each time and it was the same video... hope there are more to be found.

Watching season 1 feels like watching a movie, until the 30 minutes are up.

 

Just got it! Ordered via Amazon.com yesterday afternoon and it arrived at 6pm today.. and that was with free shipping (average 5-9 days)! Love the behind the scenes bits, does the same job as a commentary but with less chit-chat. The ForceCast offers enough "commentary" in round tables and interviews, so I don't miss the audio commentaries. Booklet DVD cases are the way to go! Last year's Target exclusive Kingdom of the Crystal Skull dvd book made me fall in love with the idea. I don't miss the Blu-Ray features, as I'm more interested in the episodes and commentary than simple model turntables and rough scenes.

I'm currently importing episodes to play with them in Final Cut. Malevolence the movie, perhaps?

 

So what exactly is in the directors cuts? What new stuff?

 

After day#2 of searching for the Blu-Ray at every store possible,turns out theres a MAJOR problem nation wide and Best Buy,Target,Walmart wont have any in till at least sunday or next week at the earliest...the next question is:WHY IS THIS NO BIG DEAL?

 

Just my two cents with the whole Blu-ray fiasco: yesterday, I checked two Best Buys and three Targets in the Boise area with no luck. When I had pretty much given up, I hit one of the five local Wal-Marts and found the Blu-ray set, but only 4 copies, for $44.88. I grabbed that and went on my way. Today I was hunting for some DC Universe Wal-Mart exclusive and Target Exclusive figures and decided to check for grins. I found that the one Wal-Mart that I got my set in was now sold out and that none of the other four here even got it in. The three Targets hadn't gotten it overnight either. I called around town to the rest of the stores that I could think of that sell Blu-ray and it appears that the four I found at the one Wal-Mart were the only ones available over the last couple of days. Most have no idea when they'll actually be getting it. I'm curious as to what's going on now.

 

i think someone in the know should do some investigating. I still haven't gotten my order either. I would love to see a story about it on TFN's front page tomorrow.

 

I have a question about aspect ratio. Is the DVD full-frame and only the Blu-ray in widescreen? Because every online retailer I've checked (Amazon.ca, Futureshop.ca, Bestbuy.ca) is saying that the aspect ratio is "full frame" or "1.33:1". Is this true or is it a mistake? Is there a full-frame version that I need to be aware of to avoid when looking for the DVD?

 

Besides the definition difference, there is nothing to avoid video-wise in the standard DVD set. It is anamorphic widescreen 1.33:1 just as the Clone Wars movie release was. Nothing to fear, there is no full frame release.

 

It's 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen. The broadcast versions were 1.78:1 widescreen. No 1.33:1 version exists.
