You even read the names upside down to give us the best look possible at the concept art. 100% the best box set review so far
Oh, thank you so much. I tried!
@@ElliotCoen A trick a lot of reviewers do is film the opening and reviews as you normally would (so that it's upside down when you record it) Then just flip the video so it looks like the camera is where your head is. Love the videos! I bought the Harmy Despecialized trilogy so I probably won't be picking this up, but maybe if it's still available when my Disney+ Subscription runs out.
Yeah, I respect how Elliot goes above and beyond for us with the openings, eventhough it's his money spent on the set he still opens it for us😁
00:47 Its not a waste of packaging for something as good as this, extra packaging protects the inside of the main item during transit. If your received the item all dented then people will soon complain.
Good reply...I prefer over packaged rather than dents & damaged box sets...and it's all recyclable.
I remember when the blu rays box set game out, and thinking that was the greatest thing ever. Well in look at it now
I know. That was one of the first blu-ray sets I ever bought, waaaaay before I got into cinema and Criterion etc.
Same! I got it for my birthday, and it is still one of the best birthday gift I have ever gotten
I got this too but couldn’t resist getting the 4K steelbooks too 😎
Hi Elliot, I am not a fan of Star Wars but I think Star Wars is a milestone in the Cinema history. Enjoy this beautiful box set.
Hi Juan, thank you so much for watching, my friend!
Ugh, no I HATE discs being housed in cardboard "pages"! It makes me so nervous every time I pull it out that I will scratch or damage the disc. Therefore, I have started taking those discs out of that awful packaging and just keeping the actual discs in separate protective sleeves, while the packaging still looks nice on its own.
Yeah. When I get this set later on, I’m going to put the discs into separate jewel cases that are used for CDs… AFTER SPENDING 20 MINUTES CAREFULLY GETTING EVERY DISC OUT. 😂😩
I put the disc in an anti-static protective sleeve and slide them back into the cardboard slot. This is the best solution for me :0)

Get the regular blu ray versions they come in far superior packaging
@@ZeloraYT Although they are definitely not perfect, I still think the 4K editions are better than the Blu Rays. The Blu Rays are INSANELY oversaturated and look like (for example) R2D2 has blue neon lights whereas in the 4K it actually looks like blue metal again. They are a bit dark, but I didn't find it *nearly* as much of an issue as a couple other 4K's known for being "overly dark". I still want the superior format, unless the 4K edition was REALLY messed up to the point that the Blu Ray is somehow better (i.e. Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl and T2)
BluRay discs are scratchproof.
3:18 it nice when the informational and legal bs is a separate piece keeping the actual art clean
What a beautiful set! My favorite Star Wars films are Attack Of The Clones & Revenge Of The Sith.
I’m new to your channel but loving your videos mate and great films you have. always great to find another CZcams movie fan. Thanks for showing this
Thank you so much! We'll have to talk movies sometime soon!
Great vid. I saw an upload of someone actually taking the ends off & then stating it was flimsy 🤦🏻♂️
Oh no, that makes me feel uneasy! Thanks for watching :)
Great stuff :-D I had actually decided not to get this because I'm one of those people who dosn't like cardboard sleeves :-D Plus I would have liked it if Solo and Rogue One was included, even though they arn't part of the Skywalker saga. But seeing this video I'm beginning to have second thoughts :-D
Best film imo. Empire Strikes Back
I know, the card sleeves can be a deal breaker! I'm very glad we agree on The Empire Strikes Back. Cheers for watching, Allan!
Yes empire strikes back is my all time favourite film ever. Its a masterpiece
I personally love the Last Jedi and it brought something new to the saga and I don’t have a problem with it
Same here
This is gorgeous! I am a little jealous of this set, and will certainly have to set my blasters on this. What a nice message from Mark Hamill too, and I couldn't agree with you more on cardboard vs. actual plastic holding it in place. Great presentation and video Elliot!
I definitely feel you with wanting to open the packaging/remove the shrink wrap very carefully. It's hard as a vinyl record collector too, because the cardboard jackets that vinyl comes in can be quite flimsy and very easily damaged! (though most of my records are originals where the shrink wrap was removed decades ago, but I do occasionally buy new/re-pressings)
I really hope they release the individual 4k films with slipcovers in the UK like they have in the US. While it's a lovely looking set, I am just not a fan of that style of packaging, even though it would make a good display piece.
Yes, I would imagine those slipcovers will surface over here at some point. Disney know how people go crazy for their various slipcovers, so I'm sure they'll want to make an extra penny or two!
I'm in US and I agree with you. I went out and bought all of them individually on UHD all because of the slipcovers they look great. Hopefully they become available to you.
Such a sweet box set. I already own all of the Star Wars movies on bluray, so I’m probably not gonna pick up this set up even though I adore the original trilogy and have nostalgia for the prequels. Enjoyed the unboxing man! -Chris
The 4K Blu Ray discs look MUCH better than the Blu Rays from 2011, especially the Original Trilogy! The standard Blu Ray discs that are included are also remastered from the 4K scans, so that’s a plus! 👍
@@tvguy61 Yes
@@tvguy61 No prob
Now it goes on the shelf never to come out again lol
Rogue one is my favourite. But in the Skywalker saga, Empire is my favourite. I recently went to the cinema to see the 40th anniversary of it.
Good video ! To answer your question, the Naboo Starfighter is concept art ... Somewhere I have a widescreen vhs special edition of the Phantom Menace that had an extensive booklet with concept art and that very image was in there !
Ah! Yes, I did realise when I was editing this that it makes sense they're all concept art. I could hang that on my wall!
Elliot Coen dont laugh at me, but before I was a cinephile, in 1999, I thought Phantom Menace was the coolest. I was also 6.
Great unboxing video! The set looks so amazing. I’m so tempted to get this. My finger is hovering over the buy now button on amazon!
can't wait to get the complete skywalker saga collection box set in the next 2 weeks here in Australia great video mate my favourite movie is return of the Jedi and empire strikes back
Excellent, I'm excited for you! Those are great choices for favourites too :)
Good stuff Elliot, patiently awaiting mine to be delivered!
Cheers, Rob! I loved your video on this :)
I don’t know if this has been pointed out but Mark’s letter is most likely printed on a material referred to as vellum paper.
I love physical media but I'm not a collector. I like to own DVDs and Blu Rays but I don't get excited by special presentation packs, steel books etc. so maybe I'm not the best person to comment. But this feels like the films themselves are a bit of an after-thought. Those horrible cardboard sleeves that the discs are shoved into are a very poor way to store them in my opinion. Anyway, just my opinion and I get why collectors might love this. Enjoying the channel - keep up the good work!
Great review, Elliot, thanks.
I was on the fence, but after seeing your review, I'll pull the trigger once work gets back to normal. I too would've like to have seen Rogue One and Solo also included. As for my favourite of the series, definitely The Empire Strikes Back. Best soundtrack, too.
I agree. Empire strikes Back is the best Star Wars film. Great video 👌
My favorite is episode 6
bit of advice mate, slice the sides first, and then you can lift the cardboard piece and cut along without worrying about slicing underneath into the box :)
Good bit of advice there, cheers Anser!
Very nice set. Had to cancel mine. Bastard COVID 19.
Yeah I was probably going to blindly OBEY Disney and plunk down for this but err.. yeah. Not anymore :)
Another Great Video Elliot 👍 Such a gorgeous set Can’t wait to get my hands on my own copy soon, hoping there’s some extra special features that aren’t on the standard releases included in this.
Cheers Daniel! I haven't had a look at any of the special features yet, so I can't say, but I'm excited to spend some proper time with this set.
The letter from Mark Hamill is also on the blu ray box set. I didn't even know it was on 4k till I saw this. I'm going to get it now.
Great Work, man! I loved the commentary and the way you show cased it. I still don't have it, but i will buy it soon. Goodbye!
Thank you, my friend! I hope you enjoy it when you receive it :)
@@ElliotCoen Thank YOU, Elliot. I bought it yesterday and i'm waiting that it arrives. I hope that it comes soon, Goodbye!
Wow awesome unboxing Elliott, might have to get my hand in my pocket for this set 😍
I very highly agree with you on saying The Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie cause it is!!!! It’s the Star Wars movie I’ve seen the most and not only that it’s also my favorite movie of all time!!!! I have a 1 hour review for it on my channel lol
Great job 👏🏽 !!!!
I own this colloction myself, I bought 3 6 disc blu ray empty cases to put ylrhem in cause I hated hoemw they was packaged in this collection housing wise for discs
I think it's meant to be like the doors on the death star.
The money is crazy
OOOO BOY THIS VIDEO IS 👌
Cheers, Aaron!!
"bear hands" nice.
You're a man of fine comedy, David! Thanks for watching.
Your voice is much more calming than ASMR Videos, it's not just the tone of it. You sound smart, sympathetic, wise and humourous all forged together. Also loved your comments about each film. Empire is my favorite aswell. Probably and arguably the most entertaining and best unboxing/showcase I've ever seen and that's thanks to your character. Cheers!
Cool video. My favorite one is A New Hope.
Thank you, David! A New Hope is still so much fun to watch. I can't wait to put the 4K disc in and give it a whirl.
I picked this up cheap here in Australia late last year for $200 great unboxing mate
How is the box quality? Are you happy with it, or would you recommend getting them seperate on 4K?
@@Mike_v_E if you don’t like the way it is presented I would recommend getting the cases version or the steel books from zavvi
Great job Elliott, I think I will wait a while for price to drop, or you never know big roll over tonight!
I hate the sleeve cases but I will be buying the Blu Ray Version.

I’m very iffy on this set. The packaging looks fantastic and I’m honestly not bothered by the lack of trays to store the discs. I just can’t bring myself to buy it yet. I have all all but one of the films on Blu-Ray and I’m honestly not too keen on the newest trilogy.... that’s one third of the price tag ya know? I really want to dig into those special features though, and the note from Mark Hamill is very nice! Really great breakdown of the set!
Oh and my personal favorite is Return of the Jedi, but I’d say that Empire is a superior film :)
@@lukemick You can get the films individually on 4K, so you don’t have to get the Sequel Trilogy.
10:31 - my OCD couldn't take the finger prints on the disc like that lol
Haha, I know, but not much can be done with this packaging, I'm afraid. The discs will get a nice clean with a microfiber cloth!
Coming 2025 the new deluxe star wars saga collection with all 9 original movies reboxed but now including Rogue one and Solo 💰💰💰💰
If the original theatrical cuts of the original trilogy and The Phantom Menace were included, the set would be complete. The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite, but Attack of the Clones is my least favorite.
That looks cool to have, UK gets the best releases.
Very very nice box!!ps,,,, nice video.
AWWWWW SNAPP great video man!!!
Excellent mate, have them all.on blu so don't know I could justify the whole set again but a beautiful piece for the collection. 😀
I hear ya, mate! Thanks so much for watching anyway :)
Hi Elliot. my favourite is a tie between new hope and empire
Also where is the arrow easter sale haull!!!!
Those are some good favourites, Anton! Oh, the sale video is now up!
Hi mate,
Looks amazing. Very impressed 👍
Terry
Cheers, Terry :)
The Empire Strikes Back defo the best
Hey Elliot
I also ordered this too from Amazon, weirdly i only got the inner box as packaging, so VERY lucky there was no damage.
The Skywalker Saga is presented superbly here, as you say the quality of the box itself feels great, the letter from Mark and the overall presentation is awesome, my only gripe is the housing of the discs, but not sure how they could have otherwise accomplished the aesthetics of the set. I think i will purchase 3 x 10 way cases and pull them all out, as they are VERY tightly held in place, so you just end up with fingerprints over them, so you're cleaning them each time.
Watched the first two films already, certainly an improvement over the existing blu-rays, i know some were 2K DI anyway, so just an upscale, but it is a professional one and the HDR makes the difference, looking forward to seeing A New Hope as i hear the 4K is especially well done on that.
My favourite is also Empire, which sadly i hear isn't as great a 4K job, but still an improvement regardless.
Thanks for sharing, and may the force be with you...always.
Dean
Hey Dean! I think that is a good idea, using different casing for these discs. If you're going to be watching these films a lot, this packaging could be tiresome. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel :)
Hey Dean,
Do you have amazon prime? I had the same problem where I didn’t receive the outer prime packaging, and unfortunately it was damaged twice. I have returned the item and ordered item again with prime, hopefully it arrives with no damages
Leonardo Bialek Yes I have Prime, maybe knowing it was being hand delivered meant they got away with it? Luckily there was no damage!
Great presentation. Can you mention the included audio and subtitle languages of the uk version?
This set would be good if it was just the restored original theatrical cuts for Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi with special features, empire of dreams, from star wars to jedi etc . Id pay double what you paid for that. Seeing those other films in the box set devalues it in my opinion.
Elliot said, “I’m dropping dollar BILLS during quarantine!” 😂 This set looks amazing. I just don’t have the room for it!
does anyone knows if it includes english subtitles??? plz help me
I wish that I had had this one 😭 but the USA book
Wow, what a lovely box-set! I am glad I have no interest in this, since my wife would probably leave me if I paid what they're asking for this.. I'll aim to get the CC Fellini box-set instead, when it goes on sale..
Thank you for this unboxing video. The packaging is cool. But personally, I could never buy this box set, because that would mean that I would give Disney money for the abominations that are episodes 7-9. No way. If they packaged 1-6 with Rogue One, then I might consider it.
It’s a shame the UK edition doesn’t come with Digital downloads
That is true, a shame!
Is there any portuguese subtitles in all movies?
Could someone confirm that all the movie in 4K have French language and subtitles ? Thanks in advance.
Hi Benoit, yes they do all have French language and subtitles :)
@@ElliotCoen Thanks for the answer.
P. S.
Return Of The Jedi for me.
A classic choice, for a distinguished gentleman.
Me rise of Skywalker
no digital code?
I would buy this but it's so expensive at the moment. I'm hoping they'll drop the price on Black Friday or in any future sale. How many copies is it limited to?
hi french audio on the 9 bluray 4k? Thanks
Hello! Yes, it says French audio and French subtitles for every film on 4K :)
@@ElliotCoen thanks !!!
Damn cardboard sleeves, guess I'll just buy them separately. On the plus side though I don't have to buy 7-9. 👍
Does anyone know the dimensions of this boxset, in particular the length? I've ordered it and now wondering if it'll fit on my blu ray display shelf? Thanks in advance for anyone that can help answer.
Presentation on the exterior is nice, but yeah those sleeves are not built to last. Inevitably will ruin (some of) that great artwork. Shame. I'll stick with my Harmy despecialized editions!! My favourite has always been Return of the Jedi, probably because it was the first one i saw as a kid on VHS. But undoubtedly Empire is the *best* film on every conceivable level.
Thanks for uploading this dude!
i cant look at that and not feel poor, that must’ve cost so much money 😆
Absolutely beautiful case and presentation. Such a shame it includes the sequels. If there was a 4k box set with just the prequels and originals I'd be all over it. Just my opinion.
This is quite the amazing set. I have the complete saga (1-6) on blu ray but this is looking mighty tempting right now.
Can i ask you please where do you get your shelving from, and is it still available thank you love your channel
Since you bought the UK version, which is region free I think, could you please tell me what language and subtitle options the discs have? I would GREATLY appreciate it! The U.S. version only has English, Spanish, and French for language and subtitle options I think.
LooseyLuz it is the exact same for the UK edition except there’s horrible age ratings on every disc and packaging and there is no digital download
Excellent. Episode 9 is the worst of the lot. The ending to Mandalorian S02 E08 is what fans want to see, and (spoiler alert) really should be part of the "Skywalker Saga". Nonetheless, excellent looking collection you have there.
What format were the bonus discs?
When is this available
Nice to have them on 4k blu rays, but holy fuck i hate the packaging, you can store it nowhere, you have to flip through stuff to find what you want, nightmare, sorry to be a downer but i had to get it out
Did you like the rise of Skywalker
Disney Is laughing all the way the the bank, there is always someone who will buy anything they out regardless of price.
That's pretty sweet, is this limited run? I can't find it anywhere.
We bought it on Amazon UK and it is still available there. Thanks for watching!
@@ElliotCoen no problem, thanks for the unboxing. I checked Amazon here in the US, didn't see it but looks like I found it at a local Best Buy here in Tampa, FL. Think I'll snag this. Will be awesome to have all the films in 4k!
Is the non 4K Blu-ray box set for the Skywalker saga using the same master as the 4K/Disney+ transfers just in 1080p or are they using the 2011 masters? I can’t seem to find that information anywhere on the internet
Yes, the standard blu-rays are the new disney transfers in 1080p and not the old 2011 masters.
Elliot Coen Great. Thx for the response
@@itomfan98productions my pleasure. Enjoy!
That's a lot of money for 2 1/2 good movies out of 9
Hi Elliot how did you get the outer packaging? Are you an amazon prime customer
Hi Leonardo, Yes I am. I hope that helps!
Elliot Coen yes it does thanks, that’s why you got better packaging.
Hello, I have juste one question, could you tell me if there are French language or subtitles please? Thanks a lot!
Hello Philippe! Yes, according to the box, all films have French audio and French subtitles :)
I can confirm that France have also released this within their own territory
This collector‘s box is nice. But CD‘s will scratch when you pull it out. It has also the shit episodes 7-9, which I hate. The collector‘s box from 2011 is the best for me, because of the artwork.
Oh shut up.
Dose it have an Arabic subtitle?
I enjoyed watching that so much I expect to soon receive an email from a internet blackmailer advising me they recorded me watching porn. I think opening both sides of the black outer box simultaneously would have replicated the opening text scrawl from Episode IV: A New Hope. I still remember going to watch Episode IV when it first came out in the 1970's and being blown away by the opening scrawl and the the rebel space ship followed by the Star Destroyer filling the screen. I went to see it twice in one week.
Very sad video watching a box being opened. You missed some parts, you should have filmed the box coming out of the UPS delivery van
Thanks for the tip! I'll film it coming out of the van next time I do one of these ;)
Si può sentire in italiano
Yes, Italian audio track and subtitles for each film :)
@@ElliotCoen bene ok dicevo il video che ho visto se si poteva sentire in italiano grazie per la risposta di primA
0:38 wow I thought the UK government banning knifes was just a joke, how sad you have to use screwdrivers now.
I guarantee you that Mark Hamill didn’t right that letter. He is extremely disgusted with what Disney did to the Luke Skywalker character.
So pleased to be able to say: I couldn't care less. THE most wasted opportunity in Hollywood history is the whole sorry, made-for 5-year olds Star Wars idiocy. And to think I love SciFi.. The only movie in this entire ridiculous franchise I truly enjoyed was Star Wars; you know, when A New Hope was simply called Star Wars.. I was eleven and LOVED it; mind-blowing effects, rockets flying, cool lasers.. yeah, even then I thought some of it was a little silly, but overall; awesome! But it was downhill from there; and steeply. The 2nd and 3rd were crap, and then came the prequel trilogy.. OMG SO BAD!
I have very mixed feelings about this release. The packaging is fancy and the inside pictures and Hamill’s letter are nice, but the cardboard sleeves, ugh.
The 4K remasters suffer in some areas, particularly the Original Trilogy. What they’ve done is applied a lot of DNR to remove grain to make it look clean and modern or something? I have no idea. But it makes scenes look waxy and unnatural. Disney have had a history of applying DNR to their movies for Blu-Ray releases (if you’ve seen screenshots of the Blu-Ray of Cinderella, you know exactly what I’m talking about), and unfortunately Star Wars is suffers from Disney DNR. The Phantom Menace is especially the worst looking out of the bunch, but it’s been a problem even before the Lucasfilm buyout. Hell, I’m not the biggest fan of Episode 1, but I still think it deserves more effort and care than this. HDR isn’t mind blowing either like some other recent 4K releases, and there’s the absence of Dolby Vision, which I guess is because Disney just wants to cut costs.
But the redone colour correction for the OG Trilogy look pretty great and are a lot better than the oversaturated colours that first appeared on the DVD release in 2004, that were carried over onto the Blu-Ray release in 2011. And I don’t have a problem with simply upscaling Episodes 2 and 3. Yeah, it’s disappointing that they aren’t true 4K, but they’re the best they’ve ever looked and Episode 3 looks amazing. Atmos tracks are all fantastic.
Yeah, it’s kinda hard to recommend.
