The STAR WARS Saga Gets The Blu-ray Steelbook Treatment This November
Though there's no new bonus material, all previous Star Wars movies will be re-released in Blu-ray Steelbook form this November. Even if you already own these on Blu-ray, it might be useless to resist the stunning Dark Side-heavy packaging. Click on for a look at the all six steelbooks...
As we all prepare for Force to awaken this December, StarWars.com has announced that the six previous films in the saga will be re-released one month before in the form of these admittedly rather lovely new Blu-ray Steelbooks. All will be available for a limited time on November 10, with pre-orders beginning on August 7.
The new character packaging features Darth Maul for The Phantom Menace, Yoda for Attack of the Clones, General Grievous for Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader for A New Hope, an Imperial stormtrooper for The Empire Strikes Back, and Emperor Palpatine for Return of the Jedi. They sure do like their bad guys! Star Wars: The Complete Saga will also be released in newly-repackaged artwork on October 13.
Those hoping for something new in the way of bonus content will be disappointed, though each disc does feature existing audio commentary from George Lucas and the film crew, as well as audio commentary from archival interviews with the cast and crew. The Complete Saga includes three additional discs containing more than 40 hours of previously-released extensive special features.
