Star Wars Blu Ray confirmed!

[scene]

I see that LucasFilms' Director of Content has confirmed a Star Wars Blu Ray box set is being produced - made the announcement at a comic convention in Chigaco. Apparently it's rumoured to hit the US next year (October!)... (Apologies if this is old news)

I'm starting to save the pennies now!

You do know that on Bluray everything is going to look plastic don't you? And you'll see all the strings...

Stick with the DVD and keep the belief alive!

PMSL. I wonder if they'll rework the audio of Episodes IV, V, and VI ? I know you shouldn't wish your life away, but this can't come soon enough. I'll be taking the day off to watch the lot back to back when this arrives. Cheers for the heads up Scene !

Hehe

Naah, he'll leave the audio so he can bring out a super duper polished version in 2 years time

 

[scene]

Probably with re-mastered 3D sound effects...

 

[Frank Harvey]

That'll be the third BD release - then he might release it in 3D!

 

[Big Aura]

he'll release in DTS master audio. Then invent a new audio format. 3D audio. I'm not sure how that will work, but it will. Then another version where a lifesize Boba Fett stands in the corner of your livingroom, looking menacing...

Big Aura:he'll release in DTS master audio.

I'd put money on him NOT doing that. It'll be Dolby TrueHD 7.1, guaranteed.

I'd prefer a life size Princess Leia.

 

[Clare Newsome]

THX 3D audio....

Really? She's getting on a bit now.

not that there's anything wrong with that, he said hurriedly, in case the missus is reading this...

7.1 not 5.1?

Well, given the DVDs were Dolby Digital EX 6.1, I don't see why they'd take a backwards step from that point of view.

Rubbish - it's not thunderbirds you know. It was filmed in space, a long time ago in a Galaxy far far away

Big Aura:a lifesize Boba Fett stands in the corner of your livingroom, looking menacing...

Sounds just like Mrs J

I dunno, he might be right, some of the Death Star fly-bys look much less convincing on the Special Editions.

Talk to the lifesize Boba Fett.

And suddenly you find that the kids Star Wars outfits and toy guns actually look quite convincing all of a sudden....

Hehe - though on the subject of it - Thunderbirds on BD looks sweeeeeet !!

 

[Frank Harvey]

How about Captain Scarlet?

 

[Andrew Everard]

Hey, anything's got to be better than the forthcoming 3D version of Titanic, apparently due for release in 2012 to shamelessly cash in on commemorate the centenary of the disaster.

 

[Anonymous]

sure will be.

 

[timwileman]

Is it out on BD yet ?

 

[Frank Harvey]

Dunno, I just thought if it was out, you'd know
