Fellow Star Wars home media collectors should have a big smile on their face as they read this latest update. The official site has announced that the Complete Saga will be released in a special commemorative Blu-ray steelbook packaging set on November 10. The article goes on to say that the Saga will also be released in newly-repackaged artwork a bit earlier on October 13. Check out all the details below and be sure to take the source link for images of the various Blu-ray steelbook artwork for each respective film.
Each cover looks like they’ve been airbrushed by a magic wand. The seams, the tattoo patterns, and the little cracks making their down the skull-like forehead tell so much without a single word accompanying them. Imperfections never looked so perfect.
As fans count down the days until the long-awaited seventh episode of the Star Wars saga, they’ll have something else to look forward to as the first six will be released as commemorative Blu-ray steelbooks for a limited time on November 10, with pre-orders beginning on August 7. 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 Blu-ray 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.
The Complete Saga includes all six feature films on Blu-ray, along with three additional discs containing more than 40 hours of previously-released extensive special features.
UPDATE AT 14:55 GMT: In the UK, the commemorative Blu-ray steel books will be available on Monday 9th November, whilst Star Wars: The Complete Saga will be released in newly repackaged artwork on Monday 12th October. Also, note that all episode numbers seem to have been dropped from the films. Click on each of the images for a closer look…
