Lucas Promises Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011

Posted by timothy on from the maybe-one-day-blu-ray-will-grab-me dept.

Several readers have written with word that George Lucas has announced a 2011 release date for the Star Wars series — all six films — on Blu-Ray. Engadget (linked) has an explanation of what to expect, and includes a video of a deleted scene that the Blu-Ray version will include. They warn that this might be a disappointment to anyone who (correctly) believes that Han shot first.

  1. Lucas' Best Film??? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    I stopped reading when you called Episode III Lucas' best film. It was utterly awful. The idea that Darth Vader, was such a whiny little b!7ch made it unwatchable.

    >>Wow, that's pretty amazing. You have a version of SW on DVD which they stopped selling well before DVD's were invented.

    Dear smart-assed anonymous coward:

    Sometime around 2004 Lucas released the Special Edition on DVD, and he included the original, unaltered movies as bonus DVDs. I sold the SE on ebay and kept the bonus discs for myself. THAT's what I was talking about when I said, "Well at least I still got my DVD copies of the original".
