Do we know for sure this, and the rest of the OG Trilogy, is part of the new Disney 100 collection? Based on the revealed designs so far, that would be disappointing considering the atrocious art choices. I literally just decided yesterday to pre-order these hoping for something different.

 

Might be the fastest pre-order cancellation in history if this is true lol.

It's almost guaranteed this will be a low effort piece.

 

Though, I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I'm inclined to agree with you at this juncture. They have already shown up on the D100 page on Best Buy's website with corresponding SKUs for that product range. Just discovered this fact a little while ago. So...that's not encouraging.

I know Disney owns the SW saga, but I would never think of the original trilogy as three  “Disney movies”.   Seems odd to include them in a D100 commemorative series.  I guess the younger generation probably does think of them as Diz movies.  Makes no sense to me though.  They really should buy Space balls to complete the saga.

Makes no sense we haven't had a gazillion Star Wars premium releases like we've had for Marvel films.

 

Disney must be afraid of making more money.

Not exactly 100% confirmed. It's listed under the 100 collection on Best Buy but we shall see, hope not.

Nils, what the f**k is that? 😄

 

Is Disney really that deluded to think people are going to spend money on that shite?

Disney showing their artistic skill.

Terrible artwork.

[willdebeast]

Well that's an easy skip for me. Such a shame because I don't have steels yet for the OT trilogy, as I've become a collector after all the good ones have sold out and I don't want to go down the eBay route (yet). 

 

All of these "100" Disney steels are quite ugly. No offense to those who are planning on getting them but these designs are just lazy and uninspired.

What a way to wake up! Looked at my phone, and this artwork reveal made me run straight for the toilet...

 

But I had a feeling Disney would give these the same treatment. And when you really stop to think about 100 years of Disney, Star Wars shouldn't really be in that conversation. So many things Disney could have done with this.... Yet another epic failure.

 

The Disney 100 Blu-ray releases look to have slipcovers. Those full-cover character designs would have been MUCH better on the steelbooks, while also providing some continuity between the two release lines.

 

Oh well...hopefully the massive influx of Best Buy order cancellations is giving those execs a headache....

This is absolutely hysterical 🤣🤣🤣

Compared to this, last year’s Dr. No steel is grail material.

That release is head and shoulders above this sh*t.

Only way they could sell this garbage is if one of those discs was the original theatrical release

 

[Casiusco]

When Disney bought Luscasfilm we made a lot of jokes about whether Disney would end up putting Mickey in StarWars.

 

We've been further away.

Not sure I could do it even for that lol. But I'd have to think about it...

No one will buy this. A ploy from disney to show the numbers that physical media is dead and streaming is the way forward so no more steelbooks being released
