Stars Wars on Blu-ray…. about time!
Early yesterday at Star Wars Celebration V, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox announced some glorious news that has been long awaited by patient (and not so patient) fans. The incredibly popular Star Wars is coming to Blu-ray in 2011 which will be on the 34th year after its release in 1977.
Yes that’s right… it won’t be releasing until fall of next year but from the looks of it, the wait will be worth it. The Blu-ray Star Wars box set will consist of all six movies and they will be shown in the best quality of video and audio format! They will come complete with a slew of special features including documentaries, unseen footage from the Lucasfilm archives, retrospectives, interviews, and rare behind-the-scenes moments!
During this celebration Mr. Star Wars himself George Lucas stood up and said “Blu-ray is the absolute best way to experience Star Wars at home – in pristine high definition. The films have never looked or sounded better.”
As of right now there isn’t any clear-cut details if the box set with all six movies is the only thing coming out next fall, if there will be other sets, or if you’ll be able to purchase the individual movies.
