Glad to help. I can only hope they put out the full series on home video, not because it's particularly great, but so that there's not yet another Star Wars video production that isn't available on physical media.
You are a hero for picking all these up as soon as they come out. You go the extra mile. I mean 200 bucks in one go for things you basically own already? Don't get me wrong. It's amazing and I envy and marvel at your collection. It's just that I'm not as dedicated as you are, though I wash I could be. Of course you do it for your personal collection as well as the show which it does wonders for. I can always rely on you to be on top of all new releases. At least U.S releases and more often than not now, U.K. releases as well. Thank you for bleeding out your wallet and sharing your collection with us. There is no other channel or website that talks as broadly about this very specific hobby as your show and your book do. Just thank you. You are truly helping fellow collectors out with these.
It's possible it was part of the licensing deal to let the two companies work together on this release, since that would've allowed the new slipcover to be considered WDSHE product, the FOD DVD to be considered a bonus freebie, and yet the rest to still be an old stock (old SKU) for the actual product inside.
Definitely a steal at that price, if you can still find it. One of our Walmarts nearby here never got them, another sold out fast, and the third still has most (but not TFA). The Walmart website still doesn't list them.
Ashley the great thing about those digital copy codes is no matter how many duplicates of a movie you have you can still put them all in the Disney movie reward points system and you'll get all the points
That actually isn't true, at least in the U.S. Once you put a product in for DMR points, it has a record of you putting in that product. If you try to do it again, it will reject the code and not let you do it. Keep in mind, though, that this is a product by product thing, so the DVD of TFA is a different product from the 3D Collector's Edition, BD/DVD/Digital combo, etc. Essentially as long as it is considered a different product by Disney, then you're fine. But if it's considered the same (such as this DVD reissue and the one from April 2016 for TFA), it won't allow point duplication. You'd have to have a separate DMR account to do another redemption, which won't allow you to accumulate them under a single account for later use.
Like you channel and the detail you go into on the products, do you have any info or vid on the digital versions "Star Wars Movies: Digital Collection" that are not available compared with the blue-ray versions.
More junk you don't really need folks save your money $$$ and buy something else for the holiday's I am happy with the 1982 VHS Star Wars home video release along with the 1997 Special Edition that we had to buy in the trilogy box set the same way with the 2004 DVD release and 2011 Blu Ray The Complete Saga and I did buy the 2006 Walmart DVD comic book single releases to get the original 1977 ' 1980 'and 1983 original trilogy theater versions . I know there is a lot of money that both Disney and Lucas can make by tricking fans to buy this repackage junk over and over again but how many copies of 1977 Star Wars do you need ? .... Its nice that we have Star Wars fan critics out there like Mr. Butler to let us know whats new for Star Wars video releases and keep up the good work Nathan ' congrats on your new book.... What I am saying like most Star Wars fans out there would asked themselves why should we buy this again ? different slipcase or repackage box sets even if they throw in a bonus disc that someday will be sold alone with bonus stuff that you did not get with this bonus disc like what was said here never say never like I have said there is a lot of money to be made over this .... May The Force Be With You All and Merry Christmas ......
But What if I wanna get something for my moneys worth the repackaging of the 6 movie collection? With Vader cover or the lil kid in Desert 6 movie 6 set?
RIP Nathan’s wallet lol I do find it interesting that a Disney produced product (Forces of Destiny) is packaged with the Fox films. I think this makes the buyout even more likely.
Yup. The only previous cooperation of the sort was with ANH digital, and even then, it wasn't allowed on Disney Movies Anywhere prior to becoming Movies Anywhere. Seems a good indicator.
Any idea where I can get a copy of the gold "holiday" versions (on Blu-Ray and DVD) of The Force Awakens from 2016 at this point? I totally missed these for my home video collection.
It is just this episode: ua-cam.com/video/1yRP1ao1DUE/v-deo.html No menu, no bonus features, and no language options except to turn on English subtitles. You pop it in, it plays the ep automatically, and that's it. Hitting menu bottons does nothing, not even restarting the loop of that episode.
6 years later here WBD seems to still own The Clone Wars film outright, but Disney at least has the streaming rights, as evident by its 5 year existence on Disney+
First, that hadn't happened yet. (See the date the video was posted.) Second, that still hasn't actually happened. (See below.) Third, that's a misrepresentation of what's actually in process. (See below.) These were released in the first week of December. The deal confirmed less than 1 week ago as of today. In other words, these releases and this video preceded the deal, so of course it wasn't mentioned. It didn't exist at the time. The deal has not gone officially gone through yet, as it requires approval by federal regulators, though both parties (Disney and Fox) at this point are in agreement and seeking that approval. That means it will not actually happen for at least a few months at best. Moreover, it isn't Disney buying Fox. Fox still exists as an entity. Disney is buying (if it all goes as planned) all of Fox's TV and movie assets, while leaving the rest of Fox intact (Fox Sports, Fox News, their various print interests, etc.). For details on my thoughts on this deal once it actually existed, see ep. 20 of my vlog, recorded once there was such a deal confirmed (or even rumored in credible sources): ua-cam.com/video/erXDMaJaRy8/v-deo.html Kinda ridiculous to claim something was "forgotten" that didn't exist at the time, unless we want to go back and start claiming that the Founding Fathers forgot to mention the internet in the Constitution or that a history book written in 1960 forgot to mention 9/11, etc.
Nathan what is your view of Forces of Destiny? I watched some of season 1 and 2 and don't really see a purpose, especially season 2. Disney seems to be using it to rewrite Star Wars history! Like Season 2 Episode 6, where it is made to seem that Leia meets Maz way back between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. With Maz being the one that comes up with the bounty hunter disguise, like Leia could not come up with that idea? So did Maz come up with Lando's disguise as well! I don't like being skeptical, but it seems like Disney is trying to change Star Wars history everywhere they can. I am not big on kids cartoons being canon.
They're alright. Some are terrible, most are just passable, and there a few that I think were decent. Bear in mind that it's not "rewriting history" to introduce something that hasn't been explained before. In Legends, we got our explanation for Leia's Boussh disguise in ROTJ in Shadows of the Empire, but since that doesnt' exist within Canon, we hadn't gotten an explanation of where the disguise came from until now, just like we don't have the Tamtel Skreej backstory from Legends for Lando's armor like it was in Legends, so Solo was able to give us that background as armor used during the Kessel mission in Solo. There's a big difference between changing something in the same continuity as a previous version of that thing, as opposed to simply presenting a different approach to something in a different continuity than where the original idea appeared. As far as FoD, I have a bit more to watch before I've wrapped it all up, and I think I need to summarize about 20 episodes still for the final edition of The Star Wars Timeline Gold, then I'll hammer out audio commentaries for Patreon of FoD Vol. 3 and 4 and probably never bother to watch them again.
Technically you are right it is not rewriting history. I, however, do view it as a type of change in history. It is changing how we see the history of the Star Wars Universe. Disney is taking things from their new creations and moving them throughout the time line as they see fix to alter the way we see it or just to scatter their own characters throughout. Changing things or adding things that are not necessary. I understand if you disagree and that is fine. Ten people can see the same car accident and they can all have a different viewpoint or telling of what happened.
Thing is, you're speaking as if there's ONE Star Wars continuity. There isn't. There are two main ones and a bunch of tangential side ones like, say, the alternate ending of The Force Unleasehd or the Infinities: ANH storyline, etc. You're basically saying, "How dare they actually develop this new continuity at all by actually publishing books, comics, movies, etc. that aren't exactly like the previous continuity?" That's ridiculous.
No I am not, but if you feel that way, that is your choice. I am talking about Star Wars Canon. The thing with Star Wars Canon now days that is different from other things like Batman, Marvel, and even Star Wars prior to Disney is that current Canon is set it stone to a point. Once it is put in Comic, Books, Cartoons, or Movies it is set in stone. It is no longer changeable. They have to find spaces in between to add something that will give more insight, or explain it better. For example, Luke is dead, he cannot come back to life. They cannot or will not make another move that undoes what happened in The Last Jedi. In Batman there are so many variations, timelines, etc. that they do not undo each other, but are just different. The EU had different stories that did not always mesh well together, but it was accepted that way. Now, as I said Disney has Canon. The 8 Star Wars movies are Canon, the new Marvel comics are canon, books are canon, and they are all one timeline. That is what I am talking about, not all the tangential things you mentioned.
JL leichter Fox logos! The new fanfares only affect Digital Movie Collection versions of 1-3, 5 and 6, like on iTunes or Google Play. All physical media so far has been the 2011 Fox versions of every movie.
Yes, unless you somehow can get your hands on one of the exclusive bonus items from 2011, and those weren't ever video content. Otherwise, yup. It's definitely better than the 2015 set, since that's exactly what it is but with the extra disc.
No animation re-releases this time at all, just the initial release of Forces of Destiny, Vol. 1. I have to wonder if that's coming after Rebels ends and we (very likely) get not just a Season 4 set but a full series set. That'd be a perfect (and expensive) time for them to do a re-release of TCW on home video, either coordinated or through Walt Disney Home Video if the rights have transferred. (I don't think they have, but half the time, that kind of thing isn't announced, just noticed later through releases changing hands.)
the past two videos are quieter than usual. can't hear as well. and yes volume turned all the way up and same device I've watched all your other videos on.
Dan L. Beeman Hmm. I will run some tests before recording next time. I am betting Skype is screwing with my sound settings each time it runs like it used to. The effects can linger even when it is not running.
If they do . . . yeah, probably so, though if they own 20th Century Fox, one has to wonder if they'll go with the truncated fanfares from the digital version, or keep the 20th Century Fox fanfare, since that would be their own company.
Nathan Butler what if they shock the world with 4K unaltered OT sets the world may actually end at that point, it would be like millions of voices crying out in joy only to instantly be silenced
I think they would remove the fanfares for brand consistency with the new films. But if they were to ever release the unaltered trilogy, they would leave them for historical purposes.
I wonder what Rogue would have looked like had it been released on VHS, had the format not died back in the early 2000's.
I'm surprised they stored the bonus disc in a paper sleeve feels unprofessional to me.
Thanks Nathan. If not for this video, I would not have known about the Forces of Destiny release.
Glad to help. I can only hope they put out the full series on home video, not because it's particularly great, but so that there's not yet another Star Wars video production that isn't available on physical media.
You are a hero for picking all these up as soon as they come out.
You go the extra mile.
I mean 200 bucks in one go for things you basically own already?
Don't get me wrong. It's amazing and I envy and marvel at your collection.
It's just that I'm not as dedicated as you are, though I wash I could be.
Of course you do it for your personal collection as well as the show which it does wonders for.
I can always rely on you to be on top of all new releases.
At least U.S releases and more often than not now, U.K. releases as well.
Thank you for bleeding out your wallet and sharing your collection with us.
There is no other channel or website that talks as broadly about this very specific hobby as your show and your book do.
Just thank you.
You are truly helping fellow collectors out with these.
A slip cover in a slip cover? One word: Laziness.
It's possible it was part of the licensing deal to let the two companies work together on this release, since that would've allowed the new slipcover to be considered WDSHE product, the FOD DVD to be considered a bonus freebie, and yet the rest to still be an old stock (old SKU) for the actual product inside.
@@ChronoRadio I know, I was just wanting to make a joke. It was still an interesting idea on their part,regardless
I actually want this new Complete Saga reissue. I like the slipcover.
Never owned the Complete Saga before. So that, a bonus DVD, and a price cut to $60? Shut up and take my money!
Definitely a steal at that price, if you can still find it. One of our Walmarts nearby here never got them, another sold out fast, and the third still has most (but not TFA). The Walmart website still doesn't list them.
Nathan Butler I managed to find and purchase a copy.

One more question if you please - The gold "holiday" Force Awakens covers - Are those Walmart exclusives?
The Toy Box The Toy Box Yes, apparently so.

Musa Realist 2017. If not 2017 then 2011. 2015 is most common now.
RIP Nathan’s wallet lol

My only suggestion would be eBay.
I was afraid of that. No luck.
You just made me think about what Disney Family Guy would be like
You mean, "Family Channel Guy"?
Can you do a video actually showing what is on the forces of destiny dvd?
It is just this episode: ua-cam.com/video/1yRP1ao1DUE/v-deo.html
No menu, no bonus features, and no language options except to turn on English subtitles. You pop it in, it plays the ep automatically, and that's it. Hitting menu bottons does nothing, not even restarting the loop of that episode.
Does Disney own The Clone Wars, or is it still at Warner Bros.?
Warner Brothers still has it, as far as I know.
6 years later here
WBD seems to still own The Clone Wars film outright, but Disney at least has the streaming rights, as evident by its 5 year existence on Disney+
You forgot that Fox was bought by Disney
First, that hadn't happened yet. (See the date the video was posted.)
Second, that still hasn't actually happened. (See below.)

Probably a different distribution contract for Japan than for the U.S.
If you had to pick a favorite Star Wars Home Video release, what would it be?
to many Star Wars relates ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
disney fox give us the theatrical cuts already ugggggggg
shehs Nathan how many copies do you own now
the past two videos are quieter than usual. can't hear as well. and yes volume turned all the way up and same device I've watched all your other videos on.
Dan L. Beeman Hmm. I will run some tests before recording next time. I am betting Skype is screwing with my sound settings each time it runs like it used to. The effects can linger even when it is not running.
enough with the reissues already how many do they expect you to bu enough already
Is there a place to order these exclusives online?
Unless you finally can on walmart.com, I don't think so. Last time I looked, they weren't up on there either.
Nathan Butler I looked I don’t see it thanks keep up the good videos
Oh dear God with Disney buying Fox assets we're gonna have re issues of the Lucas SW films next year arent we. Ffs
If they do . . . yeah, probably so, though if they own 20th Century Fox, one has to wonder if they'll go with the truncated fanfares from the digital version, or keep the 20th Century Fox fanfare, since that would be their own company.
Nathan Butler what if they shock the world with 4K unaltered OT sets the world may actually end at that point, it would be like millions of voices crying out in joy only to instantly be silenced
I think they would remove the fanfares for brand consistency with the new films. But if they were to ever release the unaltered trilogy, they would leave them for historical purposes.
So they play a Star Wars Lego Commercial B4 your Video! UR Official man ...
Not 2 Mention the shameless plug.
nice try Guys already own all of those not buying them again until the unaltered versions come out
5:32 LMAO
