STAR WARS - Blu-Ray and Studio Scale

[SSR]

Was just reading this article over at The Digital Bits:

The Digital Bits - The 2011 Star Wars Saga Blu-rays - First Insights

The article is a preview held over the weekend for some members of the media for the pending release of the entire saga on Blu-Ray.

One of the people attending the media event on behalf of Lucasfilm was Dennis Muren. There is an extras disk in the set that includes dozens of what are referred to as "Model Turnarounds" - that allow you to see filming miniatures from a variety of angles.

A comment attributed to Dennis in the article states "fans who like to build replica models of Star Wars vehicles will really appreciate the high level of detail you get to see"

Have a read.

I ve seen a few on the iPad preview app. Can't wait to get my hands on the disk. There's also a tour of the archives that should prove interesting.

Yeah I saw that article today. Sounds like there's some good stuff about the models in the extras!

If Dennis Muren is happy about the model turnarounds, I hope that means that they didn't try to cover up incomplete parts of the models with digital copies of the the hero views. I also hope they got the Escape pod in there!!!!!!
