Star Wars Blu-Ray Details

starwars.com's servers crashed early this morning as soon as its "big announcement" on the Blu-Ray set went live. I wasn't able to view it until after I got to work and even so, it was just a couple of images and a tease that I'll see more if I only surrender a lot of private information to spread the word via Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.. Uh, no.

Instead, I found on TFN the real dirt on what to expect with the Blu-Rays. In short, it's what you got on previous DVD releases, just in a better format, along with a few extra bells and whistles. Apparently there are no new filmed scenes and no new edits/cuts. At least not that we know of just yet.

( The gory details and commentary )

So far, buy it only if you want Star Wars on Blu-Ray. So far, I'm kind of "eh."

Update: 100% of that trailer on the May the 4th site (http://maythe4th.starwars.com/?CO=us-en) is viewable without having to share or give away any info. I'm liking the cover art for both trilogies.

starwars.com itself also has the box art for the complete saga set, also a nice piece. Just noticed now they're all painted work, not photoshop.

My May the 4th

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I celebrate the real SW anniversary on May 25 ;). But whatever. I wore my Her Universe Rebel logo necklace to work and kept checking on the whole Blu-Ray thing. I couldn't believe stuff related to SW and May the 4th kept trending all day on Twitter.

Meanwhile, downstairs the sheriff's deputies who work security always bring in a teddy bear in a different costume. Sometimes it's a pirate bear, sometimes it's a Viking, sometimes it's in Army camo, etc.. Today it was a Darth Vader bear.
