Star Wars: The Complete Saga Sales Pass One Million; Makes $84 Million Worldwide!

There is PLENTY wrong with the changes, principally they [frick]ing suck and are laughably silly. But you're right we don't have to buy em, and I won't be. I can still make fun of them. Like this..

I'd like to see new ones where Luke rebuilds the Jedi Temple and starts training new Jedis just like in the novels that even i wasn't obsessed enough to read, but i did google 'em!

TO ALL MY STAR WARS FANS IN THE NYC AREA!!!!

YOU CAN'T MISS THIS EVENT!

I bought this set, and I am very pleased with it. I am not a hardcore fan of the films except I adore Ep5, knowing without Ep4, Ep5 would not have the same impact... so I have to acknowledge Ep4. Empire is in my "top 5 films of all time" that I personally determine.

I liked Phantom Menace a lot more than I did when i first saw it in 1999. Somehow I like it now. My father also watched it (seeing the prequels for the first time) and emailed me "Liam Neeson makes a great Jedi", which was the only comment on the film I got from him lol.

I am no expert on transfers or quality, just more of a movie watcher, but the Ep3 disc in particular looked really really good on Blu-Ray when compared to my other favorites.

The one thing I noticed regarding changes was that Ep1 Yoda is now CGI. I thought it looked great.

After reading the sales results, I called my therapist but he advised me suicide WILL NOT make me feel better.
So I decided to laugh in the general direction of anyone who bought this box set. Sorry.

i didnt but them ... but i hear the quality of the prequel films was really turned up ...
too bad the movies couldnt be made better

If they were ever going to make another star wars movie(s) which saga

Darth Bane
Thrawn trilogy
The New Jedi Order
Legacy of the Force

[frick] you George Lucas

Oh for the sake of all things Holly stop beating this dead horse! Lucas really ruined Star Wars for me. Respect for those who still love it though.

You're all confused!

Naturally any self-respecting Star Wars fan hates what Lucas has done to SW since he decided to end everything with the nonsense that is Return of the Jedi. Every SW film after The Empire Strikes Back has been largely done for merchandise sales of digital FX showcasing more than for any real story telling drive.

However these are the facts:

1: The theatrical cut of these movies no longer exist, Lucas recalled them all before working on the special Editions in 1997 and destroyed them all in the process of taking the best quality frames of each reel of film to produce a digital source master. Sure theoretically the original digital source form all those frames should have been kept for reference archiving, did he do so? Apparently according to Lucas he didn't. ILM created their digital changes on that source and then made film transfers from that new master for each film.

2: Most Star Wars fans will remember around that time that they sold of the majority of the cut-up cells from each recalled reel of film in many home video, film merchandise and comic shops, they looked like this..

That's what became of the originals and most of you have a fragment of them. Yes he duped you all again!

3: Regardless of versions, Blu Ray is so far superior to any image of the SW films you'll see in comparison to any other home video format. Blu Ray is 6 times higher resolution than DVD and the theatrical cuts Lucas did actually release on DVD were not even anamorphic so the picture looked worse than an average DVD, only the special editions were released in high quality anamorphic prints. The Theatrical cut DVD was taken from a Laserdisc Master which is far less quality than what DVD is capable of.

So bearing in mind you probably will never see the original theatrical cuts of these movies ever again in the cinema or on home video (unless Lucas is lying) and the only way to see an image on your high definition TV as close to film quality as possible is Blu Ray. Then you have two choices:

1: Buy them and enjoy the movies as much as you can in all their picturesque beauty most of us have never witnessed this perfect before, even in the cinema!

2: Or keep watching upscaled and blocky artefact filled versions of these movies on VHS and DVD for the rest of your life.

If you don't have a high definition TV or Blu Ray player then the decision is made for you because you're still living in yesterdays analogue-age! However if you do have a High Def TV or a Blu Ray player then consider the following picture comparisons before making any more rash statements about not buying these Blu Rays (right click on the Blu ray picture and select "View Image" to see full definition of picture and image size)...

..and yes they finally fixed that dark-smudge-thing on the Emperor's face!

Ceejay: Well, the thing is: brain overload.

Really, there´s no doubt that Blu-Rays have terabytes plus terabytes of information.

But our eyes and brains can take only so much.
Really, i had a headache with "Terminator Salvation" on a buffed hometeather.

So there´s no guilt in living in the past, no need to burn and squeeze our pleasure centers as there´s no tomorrow.

@Ceejay What are you talking about? The theatrical cut does exist, Lucas couldn't go to peoples houses and take their versions they bought. I got the box set of the OT before it was re-mastered for my birthday when I was 11, and Lucas never came and got mine. Also you can download it online,.

OH also you can buy the theatrical edition on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B001EN71DG
