Today at Star Wars Celebration V, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment announced that the complete Star Wars Saga will come to Blu-ray Disc with a worldwide release in Fall 2011. The Star Wars Blu-ray Box Set will feature all six live-action Star Wars feature films utilizing the highest possible picture and audio presentation, along with extensive special features – including documentaries, vintage behind-the-scenes moments, interviews, retrospectives and never-before-seen footage from the Lucasfilm archives.
“Blu-ray is the absolute best way to experience Star Wars at home – in pristine high definition,” said George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars Saga. “The films have never looked or sounded better.”
Additionally, Mark Hamill was also on hand and reportedly introduced a never-before-seen Deleted Scene from Return of the Jedi that featured Darth Vader reaching out to Luke Skywalker through the Force and Luke working on his new lightsabre. I hope that the set features both the original and Special Edition versions of the original trilogy. And I can’t help but wonder how much tweaking and editing will be done to all six films for this set. At any rate, this will be the set to get next Fall!
