Star Wars to Arrive on Blu-ray on September 27

[alyoshka]

Whatever they say, I'd still like to have a 1080 Copy of the whole series......just to add to my collection and watch it again.....
Some movies will never die

Since all my panels are only 60hz and my blue ray players due such a good job of upscaling the blue ray movies never look that much better than my dvds or even my dvd rips.

I already own all 6 on dvd, no need to upgrade.


Well unless (like another poster already mentioned) they are being released in their original untouched versions.

[citation][nom]starryman[/nom]You don't need the Bluray version if you don't have a big screen. Once you get into the 50" panels or hd projectors then it's a different story. I have a 37" and 42" hd panel and my progessive DVD player works pretty good. Bluray from my PS3 on the 37 and 42 looks better but not a big difference. But on my 50" panasonic viera and my projection set to 110", bluray is a must.[/citation]
BS. You must have poor eyesight, because the difference is obvious.

Next you'll be telling us your computer LCD only needs to be 1024x768 because you can't tell the difference between that and 1920x1080.

I already own the complete set so I will just download the higher quality version. They have been paid for their movies already; I will not pay again.

Lucas would have you pay for the DVD, pay for the Blu-Ray, play for the mobile phone version, and then pay for a version you can watch on your computer without a disc. No thanks Lucas. I paid once and I'll enjoy all versions of the movie.

Pre-orders? No thanks... At 5:25, all I heard was "give us your money, interest free, and in 9 months we will send you this".

You must be one of those amatuers that view a screen standing 2 feet from the screen. Take an objective view from a typical viewing distance 6 ft, 8ft, 12 ft... I'm an early adopter of Bluray but I'm not blind to the hype. Now I await 4K.

I would probably buy the bluray version, only if it's the original translation w/o the later added cg effects.

hah im going to buy this just so i can have it on every (popular) format. vhs, special edition vhs, dvd, original theatrical edition dvd, and now blu-ray. i guess i just need the laser-disc edition?

each version adds something, whether it is additional footage, deleted scenes, higher resolution, or in the case of blu-ray, all three.

my favorite version is still the original theatrical release with the goofy chimpanzee palpatine

isnt SW OLD now? lucas baby, its time to STOP

 

[gto127]

I got all original episodes in HD already off cable recorded to D-VHS. Definetly better than DVD but not as clean as newer movies mastered in HD. I'm sure blu ray would be slightly cleaner but not enough to make me purchase. I may would buy in 3d BR if that was ever released.

You think Star Wars is old, well, they are still milking the hell out of Star Trek, The Original Series.

No, he is right; your eyesight must be really poor. I have a 42" panel and the difference between upscale DVD and BR is big difference to me and I sit at a 6" distance from the panel. Also, why would a bigger screen have any difference? Its the same number of pixels, the only point of having a bigger screen is to sit back farther.

Have fun waiting for 4k. Sure the TVs will be out soon enough, the content will take many years after that. Look at how long it is taking to just get 1080p content.

[citation][nom]matt87_50[/nom]all those saying "sif buy the films again, the VHS ones are fine!" you clearly miss the point of bluray, and I honestly don't know why you cared enough to click on the article... its not like people don't know what they are getting. they are getting starwars, but better quality.I too have seen some 1080i hdtv rips of starwars, and can vouch for it being noticeably more awesome quality wise. it could not be more clearly advertised. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT!so STFU.[/citation]
Have a grasp of everyone's point, do you?
Have a grasp of no one's point, I think.

Tired old material, Lucas and studios milk. Want new material, good story, quality material, Jedi's do... 😉

I am waiting for laser TV to properly display the light sabers

March 2026 : Now is the time to relive your childhood fantasies one last time. For the very last time, Georges Lucas is bringing back the original trilogy in full-motion 256-bit texture-rendering holographic projection for only 4780 American Renminbi!

Remember kids, if Han didn't shoot first, it's not Star Wars!

 

[robochump]

George Lucas = sell out. I lost respect for GL a long long time ago...............

I have all the originals on Laserdisc. Didn't buy them for dvd or vhs, but i may buy them for Blu-Ray only if they have the original's included, if they don't I won't....JMO
