Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 I wonder if this'll have the CGI inclusion of Yoda in Episode I they talked about a couple of years back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 Myeah. No. Star Wars as a franchise does really little for me nowadays, I'll make an exception for the Clone Wars animations, and some games, like the upcoming The Force Unleashed. I can't watch the original trilogy in their altered state, and I didn't enjoy the prequel trilogy generally, so I don't care about this release. Now if they release the original trilogy remastered on blu-ray however.. But that's not going to happen. It's really strange, but for someone who likes to milk his franchise, you'd expect a proper release on a modern medium of the original trilogy as an option at the very least..

Posted August 16, 2010 Maybe they can finally put this franchise to rest now. ... Who am I kidding? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 hope they don't include any of the deleted scenes i've seen from the prequels, some are godawful. like this. and what is coming next for the star wars franchise? a 3d re-release in cinemas OF COURSE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 FINALLY! Unlike some, I like the little changes. I wonder if this'll have the CGI inclusion of Yoda in Episode I they talked about a couple of years back You can see a scene with CGI Yoda in Episode 1 during a feature on the DVD bonus disc.

Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) I don't get the Star Wars prequel hate. If you saw the prequels as a kid like you saw the originals you'd all be wanking over those too. They're not even that bad, at least the later two. Fun is the word that comes to mind. Edited August 16, 2010 by Guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star wars V star wars IV star wars VI star wars III star wars I star wars II Episode 2 should have been a LOT better than it was, I really like episode III of the prequels and like certain scenes in episode I like the pod race and darth mall in general.

Posted August 16, 2010 Personally, I don't get why people thik Star Wars is "amazing scifi" Sure it's enjoyable for several of the films, but most of it is cliched lines, one-dimensional characters and some shoddy acting...I'm looking at Hayden Christensen here. It doesn't hold a candle to most sci fi stuff, doesn't even come close. This is why the Star Trek VS Star Wars stuff always annoys me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is why the Star Trek VS Star Wars stuff always annoys me Well the star wars universe is a LOT bigger than star trek. i think star wars overall is a better quality series. You can argue all you want about the star wars prequels but nothing comes close to the shittyness of star trek:the motion picture,star trek V:final frontier and some other MEH films in the series. To be honest though they're very hard to compare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 My personal ranking is... Empire, Jedi, New Hope, Sith, Clones, Phantom. I also like Star Wars for how cheesy and lame it is. I don't really buy into the sci-fi aspects much. The Expanded Universe is pretty decent from what a friend at work tells me. He's always reading the books when we're not on calls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Wars 6 movies, lets average them at 2 hours a piece; 12 hours 44 Clone Wars episodes at 22 mins a pop; 16 hours Countless books, games and comics Star Trek 11 movies, average 2 hours a piece; 22 hours Two Hour Pilot Original Series; 79 Episodes at 50 minutes; 65.8 hours The Next Generation; 178 episodes at 45 minutes a piece; 133.5hours Deep Space Nine; 176 episodes at 45 minutes a piece; 132 hours Voyager; 172 episodes at 45 minutes a piece; 129 hours Enterprise; 98 episodes at 42 minutes a piece; 68.6 hours Countless books, games and comics I think I know which number is bigger than which here Star Wars is like Apple.

Posted August 16, 2010 Star Wars is like Apple. All flash, little substance That's a massive sweeping generalisation. The Star Wars universe extends way beyond the films. I'd say it only really lives on in video games and they are making the television series. Saying it has little substance is really quite short sighted. As for Apple having little substance, that's an amazingly stupid statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 I've never seen anything Star Trek, but I'm a huge fan of the Star Wars universe. Especially the Expanded Universe. The Knight of the Old Republic games spring to mind as quality stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) and who do you think has more " countless" books, games and comics?that's what makes up the numbers. Go try and count the Star Trek books then. There's hundreds, if not thousands That's a massive sweeping generalisation. The Star Wars universe extends way beyond the films. I'd say it only really lives on in video games and they are making the television series. Saying it has little substance is really quite short sighted. As for Apple having little substance, that's an amazingly stupid statement.

Posted August 16, 2010 Shame. That doesn't change the fact there are myriad book, games, comics that extend the films' universe. Yeah, and Star Trek has the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 I've been waiting for something like this to get released. At the moment, I don't even own the DVD of the 3rd movie, and I've still got a VHS copy of phantom menace, I've been waiting for a Blu-ray version to come out for some time now.

Posted August 16, 2010 I just want to add I can't wait to own Star Wars on Blu-ray. It's going to be epic. I actually already own them on Blu-Ray bootlegs of TV rips, but it isn't really the same. I just wanted to put a third sentence beginning with I here. It has no purpose. I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2010 I never watched them as a child...in fact I watched them basically in correct order, as I saw Episode I first, at the cinema, then II (and then I think the main 3 on TV) and then III. They're not that good. Entertaining, but not much more than that. I do appreciate/like that it's a vast and thought-out universe, but I think nostaliga tints the series for most people.

Posted August 16, 2010 Yeah, and Star Trek has the same. So they both have the same...and yet with Star Wars it is all flash, little substance? Bizarre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't hold a candle to most sci fi stuff, doesn't even come close. This is why the Star Trek VS Star Wars stuff always annoys me In its first instance (ie 1977) it bought the genre to the masses, which led the way for stuff like Star Trek, BSG etc etc. For that reason alone it should be lauded as an important part of sci-fi (and even film) history. Whether or not it then burned itself to the ground over the last few decades is personal opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
