DVD Reviews of Star Wars Trilogy (Full Screen Edition Without Bonus Disc)
DVD Review: Q. Why? A. Money
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, my friends, you may have heard the news.
George Lucas and 2oth Century Fox are re-releasing the Star Wars trilogy on DVD.
No, it's not the ORIGINAL CLASSIC TRILOGY THAT WE ALL LONG FOR.I sincerely wish it was, as those are the movies that made me fall in love with Star Wars to begin with (Well, not literally in love, but you get the point).
No, apparently Lucas' ego cant come to grips with releasing the movies that made his hiney famous to begin with (The ORIGINAL Movies, untouched by Lucas' sometimes irritating "tweaking".)
No, this set is the same exact set that was released last year (The "Special Editions"), only, they have new packaging, and the 4th bonus disc that was included with last year's DVD set is NOT included with this set!
That's correct, Lucas and Fox want you to spend over $30 for a set that is WITHOUT the 4th Bonus disc that the last set had.
I.E., Lucas wants you to fork over $30+ dollars for a NEW BOX.
That's it. New packaging. The packing looks much like the packing for the last set, only the metallic Silver/black, and Gold/black have been changed to the colors of the original Star Wars movie poster.
You can see the new packaging, by going to www.thedigitalbits.com
Is it worth over $30?
That's up to YOU.
But one question remains....WHY?
Why re-release the SAME EXACT MOVIES, when the shelves of stores all across the world are still stocked with the original packaging?
Why take the 4th bonus disc OUT of this set?
Why charge people over $30 just for a new box, but with the same darn movies?
Why not just release the ORIGINALS instead of releasing the same darn "special edition" Trilogy twice in Two years?
It is easier to understand Jar Jar Binks, than it is to answer the questions asked above.
But if you use the force, the answer will come to you.
Yes, come to you it will.
That answer?????
M O N E Y
Yes, the answer is money.
Lucas and Fox have chosen to steal 30 MORE dollars from their fans, by redecorating the box that the same movies as last years release came in, in hopes that you'll fork over more money.
Yes, Grinches, Lucas and Fox are, yes, yes!
They could have given Star Wars fans the ULTIMATE Christmas DVD gift- The original movies, restored, remastered, for us to finally own and enjoy and for us to relive many fond memories with.
But, those classic movies are not being released on DVD anytime in the near future. In fact, Lucas says that he will not EVER release them.
When the rumored "Ultimate" Star Wars Saga 6 DVD set is released, we may be able to see some deleted scenes from the original trilogy....the ones that Lucas removed 20 years later.
We MAY have that to look forward to. But then again, this comes from a man who says that he cares about the people who made him a billionaire, yet robs them of the movies that they DO want, and repackages the movies that they already have, so that they will buy the darn things a year later.
Thus the reason why the 4th disc has been removed....it makes the set sell for only $30 dollars rather than close to $50.
I.E, Lucas and Fox want to hypnotize as many fans as possible, into buying this cheaper set, for the Holiday rush. Is it a coincidence that the DVD's are being released December 6th?
Not September 6th. Not January 6th. No, these DVD's are being re-released right square between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when shoppers will be most busy. They waited until Star wars fans would go to the store and buy Volume 2 of the cool "Clone wars" Cartoon, and they wanted to make us impulsively buy the movies that we impulsively bought two extra copies of a year ago.
They are looking for "spur of the moment" dollars.
If they cared for their fans, they would have made this CHEAPER set available to us last year, but then they would have lost that extra $20 dollars, and they couldnt allow that.
No, they waited til they bled consumers dry on the last set, before they threw the DVD's in a new box and made them available in THIS set. Without the bonus disc of course.
I am mad about this. Granted, there ARE more important things going on in the Universe than a damn DVD set.
But this is an insult to Star Wars fans. Star Wars movies have always been about values, honor and integrity.
It is a shame that the maker and distributors of these films do not hold the same values, honor and integrity. They have become money whores like any other businessmen.
They are as greedy as Boba Fett negotiating on what a valued bounty should be worth to him. It's all about money. Star Wars is a business to George Lucas. That is why he hasnt had a problem re-doing many of the original movie scenes. To him, its just a job.
To him, these are just movies.
The force is NOT strong in George Lucas.
If it was, he wouldn't throw these EXACT movies as last year's DVD release in our faces and ask for over $30.
If the force was truly with Lucas, he would have done what Spielberg did with E.T.-Released the original AND Special Editions of the movies, so that his vision and his fans memories could BOTH be fulfilled.
Mr Lucas, you have much to learn, my old Padawan.
The dark side is greed. Consume you it has.
Forgotten who made your dreams come true you have.Otherwise you would have made our dreams come true, and given us the movies that we have been dreaming of. Not the same movies in a new box.
Grateful that is not.
Ok, no more Yoda talk.
Mr Lucas, you are wrong for re-releasing these movies on DVD.
You just want people like me..... die-hard Star Wars fans to fork over 30 MORE dollars into your Billionaire account.
And we will. And I probably will too. I'll see the new packaging, and say "No, this guy only wants money....you HAVE these movies already, Matt... walk away......but..... there IS new packaging......and the price is LOWER without the bonus disc...., well why not", and our urge to relive those Star wars memories will take us over and overshadow the reality that we are buying the movies because they appear different. You know that, and you let it occur anyway. You use our very love of the movies that made you who you are, and you use it to bleed even more and more money out of us.
Palpatine would have been proud.
