Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray Review of Changes

The internet has been abuzz with the confirmation that George Lucas has seen fit to tinker even further with the beloved original trilogy. In my opinion the change that is the worst is the decision to have Darth Vader yell "Noooooooooo" when he picks up the Emperor to save his son Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi. What was once the most powerful and important scene in the whole series has now been ruined and will give most any fan horrible flashbacks to the same "NOOOOOOOOO" that was used in Revenge of the Sith.

In regards to the other changes the Obi-wan Krayt Dragon scream is a disappointing change but not the worst. The Ewoks blinking is barely noticeable and not worth getting bent out of shape. My favorite addition is the CGI Yoda in The Phantom Menace due to the fact that I never felt the puppet looked as good or realistic in the original trilogy. Please understand that I by no means mean to disregard against Frank Oz and his fine work.

I feel to speak any further until I receive the actual discs and have time to review all 6 films fully would be disrespectful to my readers and the crew that has worked on the Blu-ray release.

BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR



The Soaring Midnight Movie Sensation of 2010 Swoops Down Onto Blu-ray and DVD on February 22, 2011, Carrying a Load of Must-See Bonus Material in Its Talons



“A high-flying cult hit!” – The New York Times



“A cult classic – the best worst movie of all time!” – CBS News



New York, NY – It is a tender love story. A graphic horror shocker. An urgent ecological warning. And around the world, it became the must-see midnight movie sensation of the year. From writer/producer/director/visionary James Nguyen – The Master of the Romantic Thriller – comes BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR, perching onto Blu-ray and DVD from Severin Films on February 22, 2011, with an SRP of $29.98 and $24.98, respectively.



An outrageous homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR caught the attention of such mighty media powers as CBS News and The New York Times when Severin Films released it in more than 50 cities, where it enjoyed sold-out midnight showings. Judged an instant cult classic and hailed for its chutzpah as much as its cinematic ingenuity, the movie is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.



Alan Bagh stars as Rod, a Bay Area software salesman (named in apparent tribute to The Birds star Rod Taylor) who has just made a million-dollar deal. Riding high on his success, Rod snags a date with Nathalie (Whitney Moore), his former high school classmate who has become a knockout lingerie model. They hit if off immediately but awake from their first night together in a quaint seaside town to the horror of eagles and vultures swooping down and attacking the locals, turning this picturesque locale into an avian hell on earth.



Hollywood legend Tippi Hedren of Hitchcock’s 1963 classic makes a special appearance in the global cult movie phenomenon that Videogum says “might end up being the greatest film of all time!”



In addition to equally high praise from The New York Times and CBS, BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR was called “our crazy new movie obsession!” by Entertainment Weekly, and Bloody-Disgusting.com described seeing it as “the greatest night of your life.”



The much-anticipated arrival of the movie on DVD and Blu-ray comes as the sequel, Birdemic II: The Resurrection, is being readied for theatrical release in 2011.



Both the Blu-ray and DVD of BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR are filled with an abundance of hilarious special features. Additionally, two songs, “This Is Birdemic” and “Hangin’ Out With My Family,” are being released to coincide with the movie’s DVD/Blu-ray release.
