We heard earlier in the month that the Star Wars saga would be coming to Blu-ray. Initially, all we knew was that it would be available sometime in September of 2011. However, it now looks like the launch date may be the 27th of September.
A number of online retailers had it listed up for pre-order with a delivery date of September, but now Amazon has updated their site and is showing the launch date as the 27th of September.
As we mentioned previously, it looks like there will be three different box sets available: Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which will include all six movies; Star Wars: Original Trilogy, which will include the three original movies; and Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy, which will include the latest three movies.
The Complete Saga Box Set
The Complete Saga box set is expected to be a treasure trove for Star Wars fans. Not only will it include all six movies, but it will also feature a plethora of bonus content. This could range from behind-the-scenes footage, director’s commentary, deleted scenes, and perhaps even some never-before-seen material. For those who have followed the franchise from its inception, this box set promises to be a comprehensive collection that captures the essence of the Star Wars universe.
Original and Prequel Trilogy Box Sets
For fans who may prefer specific eras of the Star Wars saga, the Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy box sets offer a more focused experience. The Original Trilogy box set will include “A New Hope,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” and “Return of the Jedi.” These films are often hailed as the cornerstone of the Star Wars franchise, introducing iconic characters like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader.
On the other hand, the Prequel Trilogy box set will feature “The Phantom Menace,” “Attack of the Clones,” and “Revenge of the Sith.” These films delve into the backstory of characters such as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, providing a deeper understanding of the events that led to the rise of the Galactic Empire.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
One of the most exciting aspects of the Blu-ray release is the enhanced viewing experience it promises. Blu-ray technology offers superior picture and sound quality compared to previous formats. This means that fans will be able to enjoy the Star Wars saga in high definition, with crystal-clear visuals and immersive audio. The space battles, lightsaber duels, and intricate details of the Star Wars universe will be more vivid and engaging than ever before.
Special Features and Collectibles
In addition to the movies themselves, these box sets are likely to include a range of special features and collectibles. Fans can expect to find exclusive interviews with the cast and crew, in-depth documentaries about the making of the films, and perhaps even some collectible items such as posters, booklets, or replica props. These extras add significant value to the box sets, making them a must-have for any serious Star Wars enthusiast.
Pre-Order and Availability
Given the immense popularity of the Star Wars franchise, it’s advisable for fans to pre-order their preferred box set to ensure they don’t miss out. With the launch date now confirmed as the 27th of September, anticipation is building, and demand is expected to be high. Retailers like Amazon are already taking pre-orders, and it’s likely that other major retailers will follow suit.
The upcoming Blu-ray release of the Star Wars saga is shaping up to be a landmark event for fans of the franchise. Whether you’re a long-time devotee or a newcomer to the Star Wars universe, these box sets offer a unique opportunity to experience the epic story in unparalleled quality. Mark your calendars for the 27th of September and get ready to embark on a journey to a galaxy far, far away.
