It sure surprises no one 😬
Star Wars Blu-ray Breaks Global Sales Records
Surprising virtually no one, Star Wars is a hit.
Seems like the angry fans who protested the changes to the Star Wars trilogy by boycotting the Blu-ray release didn't have much of an effect on its sales. Lucasfilm and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment wasted no time getting out a press release touting the fact that just one week after its release, Star Wars: The Complete Saga has quickly become the number-one pre-order and number-one Blu-ray catalog title of all time.Worldwide sales have reached one million units, including 515,000 units sold in North America in its first week. That amounts to about $84 million in sales, including $38 million in North America alone.
"Once again our fan's enthusiasm to celebrate Stars Wars continues to amaze us," said Kayleen Walters, Senior Director, Marketing, Lucasfilm. "Our goal was to deliver a premium product that they could enjoy with their family and friends and we are thrilled that they are enjoying it as much as we hoped they would."
I'll be getting mine next month
Just be thankful there's not a sub-forum on here for every release thats been altered or changed. 😆
I don't know... I've checked out the website link thats broken down all the changes and the only thing I agree with is making pictures or effects clearer or more detailed. The other stuff, the actual scene/dialogue or environment changes I'm not a fan of and I'm going to just avoid this one completely.
I enjoyed this set, although it does have it's faults as mentioned above. some things get fixed or retweaked but then they don't fully fix the light sabers, i'm really surprised they fixed the wampas arm but then still leave the face the same when it first attacks Luke (it has no horns and doesn't even look the same as the one in the cave, maybe it's the female?)
6 or 8 years from now he will release them again probably in 3D if that is still going (i hope not) with more tweaks, that is why i decided to get this one, just in case he decides to add some of the other deleted scenes like Luke and Biggs on Tatooine (which sucked) or the some of the other ones that were deleted for a reason cause they did suck.
The only ones i would like to see reincorporated would be the prob droid that quigon splits in half, Maul and quigon fight on the ship platform, the slightly extended fight of obiwan, quigon and Maul.
Anakin and padme on Naboo interacting with her family, (just one of the scenes), and one of the formation of the rebellion in EPIII
They should also redo the wampa face as i said above and redo the superstar destroyer hitting the 2nd death star to be more grand.

No more re-dos, though I agree AOTC could use those Padme-Anakin scenes, I don't think they should nor I want anymore tinkering
I'm all up for better cleaned up of existing scenes though, specially sabers

By the time we get a copy of it with the sabers the way we want he will add something else that will suck, that is why i got this one.
We can always wait to see when he dies if anyone else will take over and release the non tinkered with movie.
Speilberg had said he regrets making the changes to ET so there may be hope for Lucas.
if you havent watched the extres yet then hear's a breakdown of what you get .
