Its only problem is that, with the podrace moving like the clappers it's hard to make out real definition, but it did help with another part of our fleeting test audio. To be honest, for the purposes of a quick look, it'd be a waste of time checking out Episodes II and III as they were both shot digitally, so will undoubtedly have the best transfers (although don't quote us on that, as we haven't seen them yet), but Episode I can't be far behind them it looks stunning. After all, you may not have ordered yours yet, or are American (it's not out until Friday 16 September over there).Īpart from the previews we'd already seen at a couple of events, we've now had an up close look at the podrace from Episode I: Phantom Menace, the scenes in Episode IV: A New Hope where Princess Leia loads R2D2 with her message for Obi Wan Kenobi and Luke et al visit Mos Eisley Spaceport, and the attack of the AT-AT Walkers in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. We have only scratched the surface of the set (although, not literally, or else that'd be £60 down the pan), so this is only intended to give you a little insight into one of the most sought-after Blu-ray releases of all time. It's not intended to be a review, and don't, therefore, mistake it for one. Well, as impressed as anybody can be after a 25-minute unboxing and brief scan through a few of the discs. That's not to say it isn't flawed, of course - there's glaring omissions (the original, original trilogy, for starters) and further unwelcome additions ('Noooooooooo!') - however, it's finally out on Blu-ray, something we've wanted for, like, ever.Īnd, on the whole, we're impressed. We have in our possession the Blu-ray box set of Star Wars: The Complete Saga, and we've been as giddy as a schoolchild on half a lager shandy. (Pocket-lint) - Yep, it's here! Literally.
