Irrelevant But Awesome

Half of Comic-con is left but I'm not sure that any teasers revealed there are going to be as exciting to me as this. I was at Celebration last year when the Star Wars Blu Ray's were announced and we got to see the deleted scene from Return of the Jedi. Like then, watching this teaser was an almost surreal experience. I've watched the Star Wars movies so many times, that I'm familiar with every single action from every single character, just as I'm sure many of you are. Every step, every line, every raised eyebrow. Now there is footage of these characters, characters I know so well, doing things and being in situations I've never seen before. Take a look below. Its a rare movie series, where the deleted scenes merit a trailer of their own but if any series deserves the distinction, I think it's safe to say that Star Wars is that series.

Because yesterday was May the 4th (as in May the fourth be with you) Lucasfilm took the opportunity to reveal some rather big news about the upcoming Star Wars Blue Ray releases, namely the Cover Art. Three images were released, One for the Original Trilogy boxed set, One for the Prequel trilogy, and one for the Complete Saga. The two trilogy packs, as seen below, feature artwork with giant heads of some of the main characters, Darth Vader (for the original trilogy) and Yoda (for the prequel trilogy.) These both remind me a bit of the "big head" boxed set that came out back in the 90s. The Complete Saga art on the other hand surprised me a bit. Take a look. First of all, the art is much more simple than we're used to. Most of the DVD releases in the past have featured very busy pictures featuring several characters, as well as some action scenes or explosions for good measure. In contrast, this picture only has the two main characters one from each trilogy, and a very bar...
