É um bocado chato terem feito as capas dos dois primeiros episódios com a lombada em dourado e esta trilogia em prateado, ainda não percebi o porquê desta escolha!?!? :-?

HAHA ia agora mesmo dizer isso. :-D
Tou a imaginar a proxima box, 6 dvds, cada 1 com as duas versões do filme, mais uns 3 de extras.
Por acaso não era mal pensado este pack ter a mesma opção que o alien quadrilogy.

*****EDITADO*****

Acabei de receber um mail da Amazon .uk a confirmar o envio da box. A encomenda foi feita no dia 15. :-D

acabei de ver um documentarios de +- 1h30m do star wars no canal historia e fui ao site do canal e diz la que "O documentário A História da Guerra das Estrelas faz parte da edição especial em DVD da trilogia original de A Guerra das Estrelas que será posta à venda no nosso país a 21 de Setembro."
entao estes extras nao sao exclusivos dos dvds?? a dois dias do lancamento e o canal historia ja passou? bem eu nao me importo nada , o documentario ate foi interessante.
hoje repete a partir das 21h se nao me engano

Esse documentário é quase idêntico, digo quase, porque foi "cortado" algumas imagens, já que o documentário que vêm no dvd têm aproxi. 150 minutos, e este que se repete hoje no canal história às 21 têm apenas 110 minutos aproxi.

Documentary: Empire Of Dreams: The Story Of The Star Wars Trilogy (150:44)

Written by Ed Singer, and produced/directed by Edith Becker and Kevin Burns, Empire Of Dreams runs for over two-and-a-half hours. This comprehensive documentary is presented in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, 16x9 enhanced, with English Dolby Digital 2.0 (192Kb/s) surround-encoded audio. The clips from the films that are included as part of the documentary are 'letterboxed' to their original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The documentary is divided into 12 chapters, and covers Episode IV through to VI.

There have been many, many documentaries about these films, the fans, and even related subjects, such as documentaries on ILM or Joseph Campbell. However, overall, this is the most comprehensive single documentary that I have seen on the Star Wars universe.

Empire Of Dreams includes recent interview segments with key cast, such as Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, James Earl Jones, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, Frank Oz, and Kenny Baker; as well as writer/director George Lucas, composer John Williams, editor Paul Hirsch, producer Gary Kurtz, director Lawrence Kasden, and director Irvin Kershner. We also hear from director Steven Spielberg, the then 20th Century Fox Studio Head Alan Ladd Jr, and many others who were involved in the filmmaking.

However, Empire Of Dreams is not just talking heads, it's packed with behind-the-scenes footage, file footage of the original premieres, and some out-takes from the three films. Despite being a die-hard Star Wars nut (of the almost a complete nerd variety), I actually learned some new things in watching this documentary. There are also many funny moments, such as the TV commercials for Kenner Toy's original Star Wars action figures. Lucas was originally unable to interest any company in the merchandising for Star Wars, except one small toy company that only agreed to make the action figures so that they could add a "space range" to their toy line. They were not ready or able to meet the subsequent demand, and in Xmas 1977, they sold empty boxes of the figures, which only contained a piece of paper with a promise that the figures would be shipped to the customer as soon as they were made. I also laughed at the Studio memos complaining that "the wookie has no pants".

I also didn't realise that as part of the marketing, and to get Sci-Fi fans on-side, in 1976 a novelised version of the script was published a year before the film was released, and sold well. In addition, a Stan Lee/Marvel Comics version of the Star Wars story was also published. Alan Ladd Jr, who at the time was 20th Century Fox Studio Head, also discusses the originally poor booking by exhibitors, and how they could only get the movie booked into 37 cinemas in the US on its initial release, as no one originally wanted it. This is despite 20th Century Fox's heavy-handed tactics to force cinemas to screen it! He adds that of those 37 cinemas, 36 broke their all-time box office records, and that within three weeks of release Fox's stock price doubled, as Star Wars went on to become the (then) all-time box-office champion.

One of the great treasures of this disc is that it includes a lot of the original shooting footage from the three movies (i.e. before post-production). To see the original scenes of Darth Vader, with David Prowse providing the dialogue in his high-pitched, Scottish accent (before James Earl Jones' voice was dubbed over it) is absolutely hilarious -- it's almost like watching a good Monty Python sketch.

Of course a fair proportion of the documentary looks at the truly groundbreaking SFX, including the use of models, blue-screen, matte painting, and stop-motion animation, before the world of CGI stepped in. Interestingly, while I knew Lucas founded ILM in 1975, I wasn't aware that he also founded Pixar Animation in the 1980s to develop 3D animation, before this division was spun off as a separate company. A number of stills of original sketches, design and costume art, story-boards, and conceptual and promotional art is also included.

For me, another highlight of this documentary are the original screen tests, shot on black and white video. Apart from the original auditions of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford, we also get to see a number of other 'big name' screen tests, including Kurt Russell auditioning for the part of Han Solo, William Katt auditioning for the part of Luke Skywalker, and Cindy Williams auditioning for the part of Princess Leia.

While the overall feel of the documentary is fun and light, it does have its serious moments, such as looking at some of the obstacles in shooting, ranging from problems with the schedule, problems with the budget, problems with the studio, and problems with the post-production. Furthermore, Visual Effects supervisor John Dykstra and chief model maker Paul Huston also speak frankly about their falling out with Lucas during the production, and how they could never seem to satisfy him with their work. Editor Paul Hirsch also discusses some of the problems with editing Episode IV, based on the speedy shooting, and the resulting limited footage.

While the documentary focuses on the original films, in its dying moments there is a look at 1997, and why Lucas chose to "revisit" (okay change) them, when digital SFX "caught up with his original vision". Episodes I and II are touched on briefly at the end.

Cleverly, the title of the documentary comes from the great irony that Lucas, the world's most successful independent filmmaker, a writer/producer/director who as a young film student started Lucasfilm in order to rebel against the controlling Hollywood studio system (an important theme of the Star Wars Trilogy), ended up presiding over a global Empire of his own, albeit an "Empire of Dreams".

Err.... acredito que se compre novas edições DVD porque sejam diferentes, mais completas ou sei lá, mas não acredito que alguém vá recomprar os episodios 1 e 2 só porque a capa é dourada!! Onde já se viu voltar a comprar uma edição só porque tem uma capa diferente? Desculpem lá, mas se isso sequer vos passa pela cabeça, só há uma palavra: otários.

Sim, mas isso nem pensar, já aprendi, ótario só é quem quer !!

Já tenho as edições dos Ep I e II, compradas logo quando sairam, vou agora comprar esta box com os Ep IV, V, e VI, e faço tenções de comprar o Ep III quando sair em DVD também, possivelmente uma edição especial de 2 discos, tal como a dos 2 1ºs.

Agora mais caixas e caixinhas com todos os filmes, ou com mais versões dos filmes, isso já me vai passar ao lado.

Já fiz isso com alguns DVDs, mas já não vou fazer mais:

- A Irmandade Do Anel - comprei a 1ª edição de 2 discos, e depois a Extended Edition de 4 discos

- Seven - comprei a edição do Publico, depois desfiz-me dela para comprar a edição especial do livro de notas de Jonh Doe, em promoção a 14€

- Reservoir Dogs; Pulp Fiction; Jackie Brown - comprei as edições que sairam respesctivamente com a revista DVD preview; DN; e Publico, para mais recentemente substituia-las pelas edições especiais do Tarantino

Mas foram justamente estas ultimas que me fizeram abrir os olhos. Então o tipo (Tarantino) esta-me a dizer para comprar estes 3 novos DVDs, que estes é que são bons, estão mais completos e tudo mais, e depois diz-me para comprar uma edição no minimo mediocre do Kill Bill, quando logo a seguir vai fazer uma outra bem melhor com os dois filmes e mais extras. Ai é que me apercebi do que realmente se passava com o negócio do DVD.

Resultado, certas edições que realmente quero comprar a mais completa, como o Kill Bill, Panic Room, etc, simplesmente, abstenho-me de comprar a 1ª edição que apresentam, espero pela que realmente quero. Outras, que já tenho, em edições minimamente satisfatórias, como a saga Matrix (Matrix, Animatrix, Reloaded(SE-2DVD), e Revolutions(SE-2DVD)), recuso-me a fomentar a exploração e comprar novamente o que já tenho, em novas luxuosas edições com 10 discos, em que o conteudo dificilmente irá acrescentar algo de realmente significativo.
