"And so the most milked franchise in history gets milked even more. Fans who already own these on previous digital formats would be crazy to buy these versions" - Mobius
Ummmm....these have never been available in digital formats. Only on DVD, Blu-ray or VHS.
I'd pony up $100 for a 4k copy of Eps4-6 all original.
Ironically, George's haste to shoot Eps 2 & 3 all digital will leave us with lower resolution than the classics. There just aren't any extra pixels to scan!

I'd be completely OK if JJ Abrams rebooted episodes 1-3 and Disney locked the Lucas versions away in a vault.
Honestly you'd be surprised how well the original SFX has held up, it really is quite remarkable.
I agree. There is a timeless quality to the SFX and the movies hold up very, very well. In fact, Superman - The Movie, while one of the best superhero movies ever made, came out after Star Wars, but the FX really pale when compared.

There are parts of the LOTR trilogy where the SFX was dodgy even on first viewing it, but the movies still do entertain. I feel FOTR is the best of all the 6 Middle-Earth films.
I can't beleive they're milking these movies for FULL PRICE still!!!
It's Disney this time remember, they have to pay off the billions they gave to Lucas to own the franchise.

For what it's worth, Amazon (at least in the US) is bundling all six in "HD" for $89.99...
Interesting, in that it's usually iTunes presenting bundles, Amazon Instant is usually the one
with the same or lower individual pricing.
Still think I see better video quality through iTunes, whenever I've had a chance to compare.

Google Play has the same thing showing. I'm guessing that's the standard bundle price.

Christopher Nolan?
Him too
Ummmm...DVD and Blu-Ray are digital formats.

I did, and they have been for a long time. I think maybe you mean available to purchase as a digital download.
Yes. Obviously that is what I thought you meant since the whole article was about Star Wars finally being available for digital download.

Just no lens flare
Actually, I rather enjoyed the lens flare look for Star Trek. He's already explicitly stated that the same look won't be used for Star Wars.
Some I like, but there were times it would completely wash out the screen. I definitely like your suggestion, and second the nomination.

They should've used film, JJ Abrams, and Scott Nolan still do.
Christopher Nolan?
The bastard child of Ridley Scott and Christopher Nolan?

Might almost be worth thinking about at that price...iTunes isn't yet offering one, though.
In fact, they seem to have removed the usual "movie bundles" tab in the iTunes store for now (although the column link is still there).
