I'm actually kind of digging the box art and I'm impressed with the features. I always like concept art and 7 directors cuts for: Rising Malevolence, Shadow of Malevolence, Lair of Grievous, Rookies, Storm Over Ryloth, Innocents of Ryloth and Liberty on Ryloth. All of these are good episodes (save for the Malevolence episodes which desperately need improvement.)
I just glad we don't have a super-special extended cut of Dooku captured!
It just sucks I have to wait to November....and I just got a blu-ray player too.
OK. I got teh Season 1 when it came out, and I've slowly been watchign episodes. I've watched most of my favorites by now, or at least the halfway descent ones. A few things come to mind.
1. If you are buying this for the directors cuts? DONT. The Directors "cuts" are barely noticeable with only seconds of additional footage. Nothing stood out to me as new. Like I literally watched them and could not point out the parts I didn't remember. I hate that they're even advertised as "cuts." You think they would have at least had a special scene or something....
2. I'm generally enjoying watching some of these episodes again. Lime most of star wars, nostalgia overwhelms the campiness.
3. Blu-Ray is AWESOME....cant wait for season 2 on blu-ray
Well I have the blu-ray, but the menus are absurdly disappoiting. Its just a bar that pops up on the bottom while random clips (too many from single episodes) repeat endlessly in the background.
I think its clunky, the navigation is awkward, each episode is paired with its featureette and there is no easy way to navigate between episodes if you're not going in order. It doesn't return to the menu it just keeps going.
Also there is no option to watch the "directors" cuts or not. There is so little extra content, only the director's cut is available for those seven episodes.
I don't remember the Clone Wars movie one though. I'm sure I was disappointed.
