Story of the Week #2 – Star Wars comes to BluRay!!!

In what will no doubt become internet discussion for the next 12 months, George Lucas came out recently and officially announced the release of the Star Wars saga on high definition BluRay next year. All six films, as well as various behind-the-scenes footage and a previously unseen scene (from Return of The Jedi) are due to be released in the US in October of 2011, and we can only assume a same day release schedule will occur here in Australia.

Confirmed details:

• The versions of the Original Trilogy (A New Hope, Empire and Jedi) will be the Special Editions from 1997/2006, not the original theatrically released versions.
• That’s it so far.

More to come.

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
