When are you getting the Limited Edition version DVDs?

Rather off-topic, but:

I've seen the OOT DVDs for sale as single DVDs as opposed to a set. Anyone know if this is going to be the case for the OT-SEs anytime soon?

 

I got them all the day they came out. Circuit City had 'em for 14 bucks and that rocked, so I got 'em. It was actually a good thing because I never bought the 2004 DVD's. I knew they'd be coming out with the Original versions and I was right. So I'm happy I waited.

No wasted money. lol

 

It's really sad when an outdated medium like the laserdisc looks better than a DVD from 2006.

How do you figure that? Any DVD looks better than a laserdisc. Even a non ananmorphic one is gonna look better.

 

I willing to buy more of the updated 0-0T Movies. Why are alot of people having a BF about the classics? Didn't we want the Orignal Realses on DVD.

EDIT: Besides I am willing to own all three versions of the flims. From Origanl, 97 ,04, but too bad they did not release the 97 version, but Oh well. No biggy

 

Lucas can keep his contempt-filled scraps.

 

^Whst does that mean?

I'd like a seamless branching version that combines the 97, 2004 and OT versions like what they did with the LOTR disks this year.

 

If they are going have the whole Saga in a Box editon will there be more added features in the films?

 

As I stated in the official thread on these releases, I was a big nay-sayer when I found out they were non-anamorphic laserdisc master rips, and my opinion was bolstered by the reports that came in from Comic-Con regarding the presentation by Sansweet. But I had 16 bucks to waste, so I bought STAR WARS and was really pleasantly surprised at the general quality of the image(certainly better than any unofficial version seen up to this point). It was wonderful to see the film with it's original color scheme back intact, and it's a pleasure not to have to stick my fingers in my ears and say "Lalalalalala" like I did whenever SE idiocy like wacky Mos Eisley Jawas and robots, Solo stepping on Jabba's tail, and Greedo's shooting popped up in the '04 DVD's.

Based on my favorable reaction to SW, I went and purchased EMPIRE. And while not as happy with the overall product as I was with the SW disc(Most of Hoth before the big battle and several scenes outside of Cloud City range in quality from decent to horrible), I have no regrets about the purchase, as it renders that "Alert ay Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival" chop-job horsecrap to little more than an inconvenient memory. Of course, I'm watching them on a 61 inch standard projection monitor....I'm sure if my only options were an HD or LCD monitor, I'd be far less charitable considering the non-animorphic issue.

I'll probably pass on Jedi, since 1.) I have a version that approximates the original cut), and 2.)Anakin Christensen, Beaky McSarlaac, The Max Weinberg 7 in Jabba's Palace and The Zamfir concert on Endor isn't really enough to further damage a film that, IMO, is middling in the first place. But for those who are on the fence about this release, my recommendation would be to buy the original film and let your judgement of it lead you in your decision regarding the following two.

 

I saw the individual disc in Target. The packages are nice and have the same color scheme as the big extended box sets. If its just offering more behind the scenes footage and a cool 3D picture on the box, I cant afford it considering I have the extendeds with about as much extras I wanna see already.

I remember wanting to make a video tape of the OT that ran continuously like one movie. Minus Empire and Jedis crawl, the film would just roll on, most likely having the transition from Esb to Rotj being the most seemless being that the continuation to the story is much closer than ANH is to ESB. It would have been a hot mess with that big you-just-pressed-record line wiggling down the screen every time the next movie started but I would have watched it. Never got the second VCR.

 

I'm not. I'm slightly tempted to ask for the Wal-Mart graphic novel/DVD set deal they have fpr Christmas, but I could get something new instead. I have nothing against the DVD's that came out a couple years ago.

 

Butt Edit: Discuss the films, not the fans.

 

Unlikely, as almost every frame was altered for the 2004 release. It cannot be reconciled with the original version just by cutting away whenever a CGI monster waddles into the frame.

 

That's one way of looking at it. Or you could say you're getting the original theatrical (i.e. - real) versions of the films and as a bonus you get a free decorative collector's edition Star Wars drink coaster with each movie.

 

no thanks. i'd rather spend the $60+ on 7 Samurai: SE, Gojira: SE, and Apocalypse Now: SE.
