Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!

February 10, 2004 -- PUT down that light saber and pick up a credit card: The "Star Wars" trilogy is finally coming to DVD Sept. 21.

Fans have long been clamoring for DVD versions of the trilogy, the last holdouts from the top 200 grossing films of all time to be scheduled for release on DVD.

"Star Wars" creator George Lucas has finally relented, after insisting the three movies wouldn't be released until the final "Star Wars" hits theaters in May 2005.

The set (details like pricing are still unavailable) will include four DVDs, with the fourth disc containing a brand-new two-hour documentary.

The DVDs, which are certain to be blockbusters, are also certain to be controversial: Despite pleas from "Star Wars" fanatics all over the world, these DVDs will not contain the original theatrical version of the movies.

Instead, the DVDs will include the much-debated versions director Lucas released in the '90s with new digital effects and plot twists that softened the character of Han Solo - even though DVD makes it easy to offer both the original and director's cut of a movie.

It's simply a matter of an artist's right, says Jim Ward, a Lucasfilm vice president and the executive producer of the set.

"We realize there's a lot of debate out there," says Ward. "But this is not a democracy. We love our fans, but this is about art and filmmaking. [George] has decided that the sole version he wants available is this one."

The original "Star Wars" from 1977 is the second-highest-grossing movie of all time in the U.S. (behind "Titanic"), and all three "Star Wars" movies in the trilogy still rank in the Top 20.
EXCELLENT! FINALLY! The REAL STAR WARS!

I do prefer the new special effect fixed trilogy but just hate the greedo shoots first scene. How pathetic to change that, it just completely changes a character.

I seem to remember hearing a while back that somebody had ripped copies from Laserdisc, and burned them to DVD. I think these had extras. The copies were good enough that they fooled at least one site into thinking they were legit.

I tried to get hold of them and failed..

oh my god oh my god it's true did not think it was but than i
got this official newslatter

************************************************** **

The most requested films for the DVD format will finally become a reality this September as Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox present the eagerly-awaited Star Wars Trilogy for the ultimate home entertainment format. The four-disc collection will be released on September 21 in the U.S. and Canada, with international release dates following closely.


"We know how long fans have waited for this release and how much they have been looking forward to it, so everyone has been working overtime to make sure that the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD is an awesome experience," said Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing and Distribution for Lucasfilm Ltd. and the DVD collection's Executive Producer.

Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi will be available in a four-disc set that includes a bonus disc filled with all-new special features -- including the most comprehensive feature-length documentary ever produced about the Star Wars saga and never-before-seen footage from the making of all three films. Each of the three films in the Star Wars Trilogy has been digitally restored and re-mastered by THX for superior sound and picture quality.

"First and foremost, the DVDs will deliver the very best possible sound and picture and take advantage of everything the medium can offer. On top of that, we are creating added-value material that gets inside the creation of the Star Wars films in a fresh and fun way," Ward said. "We want watching this DVD collection to be as memorable as seeing the movies for the first time." The films of the Star Wars Trilogy will be available exclusively as a collection and will feature Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX. All three films are closed-captioned and subtitled in English, French and Spanish in the U.S. Internationally, sound and subtitling specifications will vary by territory.

Hahaha. Then you're 115% guaranteed it is not originals, but pirated. Ever been to Malaysia? :D They sell pirated stuff in stores in malls. You can go in and walk out with every Microsoft product for $10.

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 
I wish Lucas had put the scene at the start of the first film with Luke and Biggs in (especially as he added their scene just before the Death Star battle). I know that it was filmed because I used to have it on an old Star Wars CD-ROM on my PC. I think it makes the scene where Biggs dies at the end even better, as well as Yoda's comments about Luke craving excitement and adventure and never having his mind on where he was and what he was doing (read the novelisation if you don't know what I'm talking about, the scene is in there).

They have QuickTime versions of the cut scenes ripped from the Behind the Magic CD-ROM here. Well worth downloading. They also have a RealMedia copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special.]

Took me bloody ages to find it :D

BTW, if you refresh the page, the 'Did you knowââ‚ ¬Ã‚¦?" section at the bottom changes. There's some interesting stuff there, such as the Ewoks singing "It smells like cereal here" in Swedish, James Earl Jones having to take acting lessons when he was younger to control his stutter "L-l-l-luke! I am your f-f-f-f-fa-fa-faâ₠¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¦ I'm your dad, Luke!", and Nien Nunb actually says "One thousand herds of elephants are standing on my foot" in Kenyan :rofl:

Definitely.

The FX are much better (there's actually a decent no. of X-Wings, the Death Star explosion no longer sucks, etc), but the Han/Greedo scene is just...stupid. Really bloody stupid.

Also looks really daft when Han steps on Jabba's tail, although I guess there was no way to fix that.

I think the best Special Edition was Empire, as they didn't really change much apart from tart up the FX.

I'm still looking forward to these, though. The Special Editions aren't perfect, but at least it means the original trilogy is finally coming on DVD :)

I had to buy the pan and scan version on VHS when it was first remastered as asda had sold out of widscreen
So I was really glad that even though they said the remix was the only release to tape, they re-released them, so I got the widescreen.
Thankfully even tho they said they'd not be out on DVD, they now will be so I can buy them again ;)

I still haven't ordered mine.

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page...4&p=57&c=&g=72

Nice. Only £28.99

That's cheaper than www.Sendit.com (formerly Blackstar.co.uk) - £33.99 - http://www.sendit.com/video/item/7100000021080

And the same price as Amazon.co.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...817910-1582022


What about VAT/Duty, though? Don't Play still ship from Jersey?

£28.99 is the price you pay, nothing is added.

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 
Lucky :)

As they ship from Jersey, if you order anything that's over the personal import limit of £18, you run the risk of being charged for Import Duty & VAT (if Customs happen to check the package...things can easily slip through still).

Off to Tesco tonight with Clubcard vouchers clutched tightly in my sweaty little mitt - Mrs Nug has relented in the face of my interminable whining and allowed my to get it today instead of waiting till I get paid (next week :shocked: ).

I've been saving the vouchers for donkeys so I wouldn't have to pay full price - as a result, they are selling for 30 quid, but I've got 18 quid's worth. Hooray, I effectively get the box set for 12 quid :D - my life is now complete :D

First Class recorded is insured to £28 by default, remember that from thier point of view that is their cost, not what you paid retail so say you bought £40 of DVDs, but it cost them £28 to buy in, they would be fully insured for replacement.
First Class recorded is pretty reliable and trackable, its what Mrs H uses nowdays.

Oh I so wish I could, but as NTSmell has not sorted out their registration problem I have an STB that is gonna be used as a doorstop. Using it as a Digital media receiver isnt an option.

You'd better be quick, my local Tesco's had only 4 boxed sets left at 5:45 this evening, when I grabbed mine, along with two other punters. No doubt caught out by the demand.

On the other hand with it seems almost everyone watching Star Wars tonight, Eastenders ratings will take a bit of a beating :erm: And this site might get a bit quiet ;)

Got mine at 10am this morning. Amazon were true to their word. Not often you get the cheapest price and guaranteed release day delivery.

Watched the 4 hours of documentaries this morning/afternoon and thought they were exceptional. Then watched episode IV this afternoon/evening. Not really many changes from spec edition, its cleaned up brilliantly though. Lightsabers are changed throughout and some minor greedo/jabbo ones. Really enjoyed it, although you have to be in the right mood to watch a movie you've seen a hundred times before :)

Watching ESB now and it looks great. Will need to try and find the time to go through the movies with the commentary. A very good way to spend £27, good value for money.

Mine arrived yesterday, so busy last night that it is still in the cello wrapping though. Mine has Darth on the cover. Are there multiple cover options in the UK?

I'd imagine that the 'dialing down' of the trumpet fanfares etc, is more to do with the change in ability and dynamic range of audio systems both at home and at cinemas since 1977.

I'm off out in about 2 hours to get mine - if there's any left in stock.... Then I guess I'd better 'test' them all to make sure they're ok :)

Mine had Darth on.

Watched the first one and I though that the sound was brilliant on surround sound.

It has darth on one side and then the rest of the cast on the other side.

I had a surprise when I got home. My boxset was waiting for me. play must have posted on sunday and thanks to the 1st class actually got it yesterday. They have really done a great job of cleaning the film up I noticed details that I had never noticed before. also the 5.1 mix was great.

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 
the original Star wars was first broadcast in Mono sound so nonetheless im very impressed by the sound upmixing quality :), further more most of the sound niggles i have read of seem very Fanboish and from Anti-lucas campaigners ;).

1 thing this dvd set really shows is how Old filming tecniques using real models and Real sets the latest CGI bloated films, If lucas could have spent more $'s on developing real sets in Eps 1-2 and likely 3 the actors may not have been so craptastic when performing, Blue screen sets are killing the industry imo :td: .

Hats of to Lucas on a fine DVD set :D

Aah, but thats because most cinemas did not have any form of surround sound, not because the film was not recorded in surround sound.

Stutter or pause, if it's a pause (of less than 2 seconds) it is probably a layer change on the disk.

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 
thats what i was thinking, but theres a bunch of green crap at the bottom of the screen lik eits corrupted.. ??? just tested it in faster DVD drive and same thing but without the corruption, thats a Poor Layer change.. usually it should only take a split second but this freezes for 1-2 secs, dont miss anything important though.

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 
Well I've only just got back from shopping - I'm off to watch some of the extras now :)

MatTman 21-09-2004 15:59
Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 
yep, definatly a layer change, 74 minutes and 4 seconds, unfreezes at 74 mins 5 secs.. but it Stops for about 2 seconds. same for all my dvd players and according to my friend his ANH dvd does it too same place.

Nor 21-09-2004 17:14
Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 
There is no pause on mine mate. 74 mins 4 secs is a chapter change though from 32 to 33. But its a smooth transition on mine. Thats on the xbox and just tried it on my pc now and its fine aswell.
