just decided that i will never get these because obi-wan's lightsaber is green on the back of the 'clones' steelbook.

You should’ve decided not to get there because of the poor CGI rendering of awkward close-ups on villains faces looks terrible. xD

oh, that too. i was *this* close to getting all six from Filmarena on the 4th instead of going after the best buy steelbooks on eBay, but i managed not to, and the Zavvi line got announced the next day.

The steelbooks are been released over a few months
Each pre order will be separate

I get that, but they'll have the SKUs set-up in advance so it's not inconceivable for a retailer to set-up this type of opt-in pre-order across a set.

Not expecting that to happen but it would be extremely convenient.

you do realise this is zavvi which dont even have a live stocks system and all cancellations have to manually put back in one go?
hence why usually 1 week before the pre-orders come back in.
so how on earth are they going to set that up think the words dream and on apply here

question, did zavvi confirm that the line will consist of all 11 steelbook films? I have not read this anywhere, even on social media. someone can confirm me, so I will avoid buying amaray.

They never confirmed or said this

At least that's what I've heard from a source who has a source, lol.

From u/ZavviOfficial on Reddit:

So these are not going to be one per month.

Looks like its based off this poster

I like the poster but that better not be the steelbook cover.

They really oughta announce the release date for Star Wars before they have another pre-order.

If that's the art, then consider me out! Should've known these would be too good to be true and they'd screw them up somehow.

Was really hoping they'd use my all-time favourite Star Wars poster...

 

[DMD4k]

Yeah, that's a nice teaser but not what we want on the front Zavvi. Get it right.

 

[Lotrek]

Looks that way even though I wanted this one

 

[DMD4k]

I think we all want the Gone with the wind one.

Yes it has to be the official theatrical release posters for the whole series.

Exactly! Makes them pointless if they're all random posters.

 

[choochoonesme]

Even though they've teased it, I really don't think it will be the horrific 70's disco Vader poster.
Even the pic they posted shows it being blurry. They won't use that. I think thats merely a teaser, just as that poster once was.

I'm certain, it will be, as one user above says "The gone with the wind" version.

 

[CivilWar]

I really hope it won't be this poster ...
