Disney is releasing the first six movies in the Star Wars saga again in a limited edition Blu-ray and these are the DVD’s you are looking for. The Force is strong with this release, but so is the Dark Side as most of the covers are heavily weighted towards the Empire. Regardless, the cover artwork on these is simply stunning and the only thing that could make the steelbook packaging any more awesome is if it were made out of Carbonite.
The first six will be released as commemorative Blu-ray steelbooks for a limited time on November 10. Pre-orders beginning on August 7, giving fans something else to look forward to as they count down the days until the long-awaited seventh episode of the Star Wars saga. Each film comes with beautiful new character packaging that include 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. Star Wars: The Complete Saga will also be released in newly-repackaged artwork on October 13.
In addition to the collectible steelbook packaging, each disc features “existing audio commentary with George Lucas and the film crew as well as audio commentary from archival interviews with the cast and crew.” In addition to the six films, the set includes “three additional discs containing more than 40 hours of previously-released extensive special features.”
