New Complete Saga Blu-ray Changes Leaked
There are rumors swirling about that rips of the Blu-rays have leaked on to the internet and with that, comes word of new CGI and audio/SFX alterations made to the Original Trilogy (for the better or worse depending on your point of view). None so far seem to be as controversial as swapping Sebastian Shaw’s head for Hayden Christensen’s in Return of the Jedi, or Greedo shooting first in A New Hope, but the changes are changes none the less.
Time to break out those VHS tapes I guess.

Toyguide Update: CW64 R7-D4
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of R7-D4 (CW64) from The Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: This all-new astromech incorporates the successful Build-A-Droid concept from the 2008-2010 Legacy Collection for added playability. Great sculpt and deco and the blue “inards” under the dome is a nice touch. Compatible with the most recent Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter.
CONS: Since this design utilizes a new removable dome, the pop-up periscope feature from prior astromechs has been omitted.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
Toyguide Update: CW65 Jar Jar Binks
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Jar Jar Binks (CW65) from The Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: For those that missed him before, it’s a great opportunity for another shot at the accident-prone Gungan. Great detailing in terms of deco and the likeness is spot on to the character’s 3D model. Nicely articulated. It’s virtually an exact repaint (save for a little difference on the head) so folks can pass on it unless you really need the Galactic Battle game card.
CONS: Paint job is a little sloppy on the eyes which gives him a cross-eyed look on my sample.

CGI Yoda in Episode I Footage
/Film.com has posted an article and video showing off Yoda’s new CGI look for The Phantom Menace Blu-ray release. I must say it’s a great improvement over the awful puppet used in Episode I.
