whodares2: For me, I'm really disappointed with spec. features of this collection, so I'm hesitant. However, the original Star Wars trilogy is probably my 3 all time favorite movies so I think I'll probably buy it despite the $99 that their charging. It wouldn't be right to not have one's favourite movies in its best possible form. And Lucas knows that the money grubbing bugger.
$89 at http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Complete-Episodes-Blu-ray/dp/B003ZSJ212/

Yeah, he knows that. And he knows people will buy a second edition with 3D, and then maybe a third edition...

I don't care much about the extras, I'm just getting this to have the best image quality these films ever were released. Just don't know what edits/cuts are these, and if the aspect ratio is the films' original.

HoneyBakedHam: Imagine if your toaster was like Blu-Ray. You get up and discover it is no longer able to make toast because you bought English Muffins instead of wheat bread and now you have to update your firmware to eat breakfast.
arent all toasters like that? :/

taczillabr: Stupid, stupid marketing countdowns... their executives must have loved that. I know I will buy it; I just hope it doesn't happen like with LotR which has now 2 Blu-ray collections, and a third will be released after the two The Hobbit movies.

Anyways, instead of going to the hotsite, just go to these links:

I followed your links.

WTF is Lucas thinking by releasing the discs with 6.1 audio.

5.1 is the standard.
7.1 would make a lot of sense, as that's just 5.1 with the rears repeated.

But 6.1 is just a weird and uncommon set-up. Channel 6 in a 6.1 setup is a blend of the left and right rears and anytime I've heard it, it just takes away from the separation between the rear channels.

all, ALL, all... the list of extras. But not the technical details, a shame.

Yeah 6.1 is uncommon, right now I don't remember any using it. IIRC the 2004 DVDs had the rear sound channels swapped, maybe they used that same mix with the swapped channel but "modernized" it to be 6.1. I'm not an audio expert, but that could be it.

And generally they use the lowest denominator for the older movies in packages like this, so possibly the original trilogy is as 6.1 and not HD, and the sequel trilogy is presented as 7.1 HD.

More news at Comic-Con, they said.
