The STAR WARS Saga is finally coming to the coveted Blu-ray format, according to Lucasfilms Director of Fan Relations, Steve Sansweet.
Sansweet let the Womp-rat out of the bag at the Chicago comic book convention over the weekend. The set is to be "a very full set of all six movies...with lots of extra material". He also promised lots of material that has "never been seen before". The release "won't be in the too distant future".
Long-time fans are probably hoping that George will finally clean out his closet and let out the much sought-after deleted scenes from A NEW HOPE in a proper format. On the same page, there is (ahem) hope that this set will include the Special Editions along with the Original Theatrical cuts.
The other group of cranky STAR WARS fans may just see this as just another way to line George's pockets with more moolah, as this will be the 3rd or 4th time the Saga has been released for home viewing. Providing the extra material is worthwhile, and the transfer is eye-popping, long-lines can be expected (whenever the release date will be) at stores (I'm assuming December). After all, STAR WARS is one of those films why they invented the glorious Blu-ray format in the first place.
