Star Wars: The Complete Saga Reveals All on May 4th - MovieWeb.com

Oh God Whats Lucas planning now!!
Star Wars: The Complete Saga || May The 4th Be With You

[thunderbolt]

isn't it just the news about the release of the movies on Blu Ray?

[Bruce Banner]

Yeah, I'm expecting it'll just be the full stats of everything on the forthcoming Blu Rays.

Really interested in details of which classic trilogy deleted scenes will be included.
We already know the scene showing Luke building his lightsabre from ROTJ is on there, but it'll be interesting to find out what else.

[jds1911a1]

I think the best we can hope for is the Blu ray release will include an all new cut of Ep 4 where Greedo shoots first again and the openeing 11 minute scene with Biggs is included

that said I think the big news will actually be all the miraid of store exclusive release boxes with little bits of commerative stuff like they did with ROTS (patches, comics, challenge coins, excl deco figure, etc)

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

Obviously, it's the news every fan has been waiting to hear: the Holiday Special is coming out on disk.

[palitoy]

This is how i picture George Lucas anymore

[Bruce Banner]

Just some of the stuff I'm really hoping will be included (not integrated into the movies themselves, but at least included in a deleted scenes section):
















Also, all four of the original making of documentaries would be great.

Alas, I fear all that may be asking too much.

[EMCE Hammer]

The only thing that interests me is Disc 8. I would have liked to have seen versions of Eps 4-6 with the deleted scenes integrated. If they can EMO-up Anakin's ghost scene, why not?

[wolfie]

Is that girl in the photo Koo Stark?

[kennermike]

I saw it the Blu Ray Trailer pllllleaaassee! yet again Lucas ****es on his fans no Original Theatrical releases.the annoucement would have been better of he was getting the original cast to work on the story after Jedi what a dope!

[ctc]

[kennermike]

Don C.

even that would have better news!

[Bruce Banner]

Is that girl in the photo Koo Stark?

Yes indeed. And very lovely she is.

I saw it the Blu Ray Trailer pllllleaaassee! yet again Lucas ****es on his fans no Original Theatrical releases.

Yeah, a little disappointing that the original theatrical versions aren't included.

But we're getting a bunch of deleted scenes and alternate takes from the original trilogy, plus three of the original "making of" documentaries, so I'm pretty happy with the package.

But still... there's a LOT of cool vintage stuff that they could have dusted off and included, but evidently haven't.
