Anyone planning on picking up the saga on Blu-ray today? I actually, got mine at Walmart at midnight.

How much is it? I thought someone said they destroyed the movie or something for the Blu-ray version?

Why anybody wants to watch a classic movie like this on blue ray I don't understand.
I am not a star wars geek by any means but I love the fact that it is old and it sets me back to when I was 12.

How many times can they sell the same movie? I rented and ripped it from DVD years ago. BluRay? I'll pass.

x2.

And it's ridiculous how many discs they always "need". It's like 1993 all over again when you needed 12 floppies for one game, now you just have Blu-Rays. Nothing ever changes.

Walmart and Best Buy have it for $80 but that's because it's on sale. Once the sale is over it will retail for $140.

Well, for the Blu-ray release the changes are as followed...

The Phantom Menance: Yoda has gone for puppet to CGI which I think was a GREAT change to follow the same look as the other prequels.

Return of the Jedi: Jabba's entrance door in the beginning is now shown to be bigger. Ewoks blink. But the biggest change, and I think it REALLY sucks but I'm trying to embrace it, is Vader's infamous "Nooooooooo!" when he threw the Emperor down the shaft. I think to follow Vader's "Noooooooo!" in Revenge of the Sith.

The picture to these films is so crisp and prestine with excellent audio that I think the purchase is well worth it Then again, I'm a huge Star Wars fan.

Cool, I may just check this out.

I really wish that they had made the new star wars using the same industrial light and magic techniques used in the original films. I hate the look of the CGI stuff. It's so unreal, I think the original three look ten times better!

All depends on your home system set-up. If u have a top of the line tv and stereo, blu-ray makes a HuGE difference.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of CGI either.

Bluray has ruined me. I can't even watch a non bluray rip no more.

Nails · « **Reply #15 on:** September 16, 2011, 11:09:00 AM »

I have a Ps3 for my blu-ray thou i have only 2 or 3 blu-rays due to my old Infocus projector not doing 1080p... Once i get it updated, all blu-ray as far as new 2005 + movies are concerned with the exception of maybe a very few classics that have been redone with 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound like the Godfather, Scarface, and Starwars

By the way, if you plan on getting the Blu-ray version and already have them on DVD keep them because the Blu-ray does NOT include the deleted scenes already on the DVDs but rather all-new never-before-scene deleted/extended scenes.
