Why the hell isn't Celebration V in the trending topics? @starwars #StarWars @SW_Celebration #SWCV (via @sithstalker066)
The Coolest news is the Announcement of the Movies coming to Blu-Ray with the deleted Scenes. I also think it is cool that season 3 of the Clone Wars, they will be going to Zarabek and meeting the Group that Darth Maul had come from. Should be an interesting set of Episodes.
Had been predicted to be announced. Steve Sansweet had pretty much confirmed it awhile back but it's good to hear it's "official" now. Cool stuff!
Here is a clip of a missing Scene, with Luke Building Lightsaber from ROTJ
Return of the Jedi Missing Lightsaber Scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdJ0E7HbTKc&feature=player_embedded#)
COOL!
You know my feelings about Lucas's And his continuous growing wallet. Why didn't he put the deleted scenes on the DVD, we all know why because he knows that we will buy them again and again and again. In my office I have the video versions, the first release DVD versions the special editions versions and now I'll be wanting the blue ray versions for the deleted scenes.
I don't even own a BR player. Jeez
do you suppose there are deleted deleted scenes?
I get chills watching that and Lucas can have my money. :)
Those people are all going nuts over those deleted scenes? I always though Lucas did a good job cutting the movies the way he did originally.
I will definetly be buying these because they are on BD but not cause of the deleted scenes.
The more OT STAR WARS the better, IMO. And I don't hold it against Lucasfilm one bit for not including these in the original DVD release. They are a business, they have ONE product, STAR WARS. You need to offer people something new when you do a release. I think it's great they are finishing these scenes and allowing us fans to see them. I hope the Luke at Toshi Station scenes are also put back in.
Yeah Bryan, it's business. But I mean come on, even I feel just a little taken advantage of after all these re-releases over the years. Sometimes I think we invent new media (Beta, VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray) just to release the "Star Wars" films on it! LOL! Anyway, I'm happy to get them on Blu-Ray and the extra scenes will be cool to see. Looking forward to seeing the sandstorm scene near the early part of ROTJ. And Toshi Station too. Gotta love Biggs 70's era mustache.
I'm looking forward to this. I wonder how much it's going to cost?
It'll cost whatever Blue-Ray's cost now, an Arm, Leg and an Eye :P. This might be my first Set of Star Wars I actually buy, the rest have been gifted to me.
Woot!!
And Lucas can do whatever he wants, we don't have to buy these. But Star Wars in 1080p?? HECK YA!!
:)

I know, Biggs looks like a pornstar! I suppose my tolerance for releases is mitigate in so far as i don't but a lot of media content, I don't collect DVD's. I just get the few things I really love. I bought the STAR WARS DVD's a few years ago and look forward to buying the new releases. Same with LOTR, but I'll wait for the extended BR's on that.
I am sure I,II,and III are going to look aweosme in BD. I am curious how IV,V and VI are going to look. I am sure good but, how good?
