Star Wars On Blu-Ray

[Karma]

I thought the packaging was the same aside from disc art?

UK got cheap and nasty (not my pics)

someone please tell me the US one is region free... so sick of these crappy UK anthology disc holders. they're so flimsy and fragile and generic looking. for SW you'd think they'd go all out. like in the US. bastards.

yeah it's region free but it'll cost ya about £10 more than UK version

And of course it's already out in UK. Double dip for me, damn you Lucas!

i had a feeling it was gonna happen cause it happened with the alien anthology as well so I avoided UK release

 

[furystorm]

Hence the art discs, eh? To get some art into the UK release.

Watchmen > TDK

Especially for a movie with not so big name actors.

forreal? the only thing that watchman had that was better than TDK was Malin Akerman. and her naked.

Disagree. At least Watchmen knew what the main focus of the film was and didn't have to completely bastardize a character to get there.

You will also get the Jango headbut in AOTC, as it was cut from the UK DVD release
Not sure if it's still cut from the Blu-ray?
I will definitely be getting Indiana Jones blu from the US when it comes out, so I can have the uncut heart ripping scene

Speaking of which, wasn't that supposed to be out this year?

 

[meanstreak]

I think that is the plan now.
I have the films in HD on my hard drive from when the BBC broadcast them, and they look great. Blu-ray versions will look even better, so I hope they do not get pushed back again.
It could have been down to Star Wars and Jurassic Park coming out around the same time

[DinoLast]

And also have Steven Spielberg slap Lucas if he goes anywhere near them too

Steven did change the guns to walkie talkies in ET so who knows what he'll do to Indy.

He also included the theatrical edition, and in an interview with Quint at AICN, he says he will not change Jaws and regrets the changes to E.T

Steven Spielberg: When people ask me which E.T. they should look at, I always tell them to look at the original 1982 E.T. If you notice, when we did put out E.T. we put out two E.T.s. We put out the digitally enhanced version with the additional scenes and for no extra money, in the same package, we put out the original ‘82 version. I always tell people to go back to the ’82 version.

Steven did change the guns to walkie talkies in ET so who knows what he'll do to Indy.

But also restored and released the original theatrical cut on home video at the same time. A HUGE contrast to what George has done.
