I’m sure none of you except for JPX knows that I’m a bit of a germ-a-phobic. It’s annoying, but manageable. Though, since I met JPX and list...

It better be a working lightsaber with every purchase or I'm not playing.
Or, it could be that the Blu-Ray release will ONLY be the OT, in its pre-special form, with all of those wacky Biggs Tatooine deleted scenes available.
SOmeone somewhere compared the Special Editions to watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Couldn't agree more.
Oh, and I think there may be Haiku Hump Day results up later today. Now that I'm back from the Dark Side.
The official announcement,
THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE THE MOST ANTICIPATED BLU-RAY RELEASE IN THE GALAXY IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR WORLDWIDE PRE-ORDER STARTING TODAY
LAS VEGAS (Jan. 6, 2011) – The most anticipated Blu-ray release ever – the Star Wars™ Saga – emerges from light speed this September 2011. For the first time, all six of George Lucas’ epic films (Episodes I-VI) are united in one complete set. Fans worldwide are able to pre-order now with online retailers.
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release Star Wars in three distinct sets to meet the needs of every Star Wars fan:
Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray (9-disc Set includes all six films)
Star Wars: Prequel Blu-ray Trilogy (3-disc set includes Episodes I-III)
Star Wars: Original Blu-ray Trilogy (3-disc set includes Episodes IV-VI)
STAR WARS: THE COMPLETE SAGA ON BLU-RAY will feature all six live-action Star Wars feature films utilizing the highest possible picture and audio presentation, along with three additional discs and more than 30 hours of extensive special features including never-before-seen deleted and alternate scenes, an exploration of the exclusive Star Wars archives, and much more.
Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray will be available for $139.99 US/$179.99 CAN and the Star Wars: Trilogy Sets for $69.99 US/89.99 CAN. Pricing for each set will vary by international territory.
Flanked by a legion of his finest Imperial Stormtroopers, Darth Vader himself joined Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment President Mike Dunn at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to announce the release, vowing “The forces of the Empire will be at your disposal to assure the success of this endeavor.”
“The Star Wars Saga is the most anticipated Blu-ray collection since the launch of the high-def format,” Dunn said. “The epic franchise pioneered sound and visual presentation in theaters and is perfectly suited to do it again in the home, with a viewing experience only possible with Blu-ray.”
“With all six episodes available for the first time in one collection, this is a great way for families and home audiences to experience the complete Saga from start to finish,” said Doug Yates, Vice President of Marketing, Online, Distribution, Lucasfilm Ltd. “And with the quality of high-definition, Blu-ray provides the most immersive home experience possible.”
“The Star Wars franchise has been one of the most anticipated Blu-ray releases by Amazon’s customers,” said Bill Carr, Vice President of Music and Video at Amazon. “We think that Star Wars will be incredibly popular with our customers, and we expect pre-orders to be very strong.”
"...three distinct sets to meet the needs of every Star Wars fan..."
Except for the narrow demographic of Fan that wants to believe that nothing happened after 1983.
Sure, it's only a handful of people, i.e. every single Star Wars fan over the age of 12, but I've had it with this jerk.
I'll show him - I'm gonna WAIT until the 2nd Blu-Ray release of everything to get my Original Original Trilogy.
Here's a goddamned idea: Extra Special Different Editions of the OT with no stupid cartoons inserted, reshoot and amp up the lightsaber battles with stunt doubles and just rip Obi-Wan's face off (like the Dooku treatment in II), restore and insert the Biggs Tatooine stuff (which sets the mythology of everything up in a great way), Han shooting first (maybe shooting TWICE after all this bullshit we've had to endure), and leave the fucking dialogue ALONE. (What was wrong with just "Bring my shuttle"? NOTHING!!!)
I know I shouldn't get THIS angry about it, but I feel like I'm approaching a Jordan-watching-2010 level of rage here.
I want to know what archival material they're saving for when Blu-Ray is replaced by BrainRay Interactive Gel Pacs (TM)?
By then, it will be the generation that was raised with the idea that Jake Lloyd and Jar Jar made for some pretty fond childhood memories. Bonus footage of those shitheads I'm sure is lurking in the vaults somewhere...
What? No chub chub song? *punches wall*
Aw, I can't join the rage, I actually like the Special Editions. This Blu-Ray release will probably finally push me into buying a Blu-Ray player. I'm hoping for some good deleted scenes!
Love the undeterred fanboyism, JPX. Good on ya. Don't let these sourpusses get you down.
(The Star Wars hate stuff is awesome and hysterical though.)
