Apart from greeting you with the usual "May the 4th be with you", this year's Star Wars Day comes with the complete list of special features that will be included in the much anticipated 9-disc Blu-ray set.
And yes, Greedo shot first, as we are stuck with the special editions. Tough luck.
Just to extend the euphoria a little, feast your eyes on the above image (courtesy of Boing Boing), which is "an on-set shot of Carrie Fisher in her iconic "bikini Leia" mode, along with her stunt double, catching some rays during the filming of Return of the Jedi".
While loyal haters of the atrocious prequel trilogies can just purchase the original trilogy set instead, the "Complete Saga" box-set has been cleverly packaged to coax fans into buying all six films as that is the only you can get your hands on the three additional discs of bonus material. These extra features more than 40 hours of entertainment for fans, from behind-the-scenes documentaries, deleted scenes, to pop culture parodies of the international phenomenon.
These packages in Blu-ray will be released on September 16th. Hit the jump to check out the official press release, complete with a listing of all the special features.
Bring home the adventure and share Star Wars™ with your whole family – when STAR WARS: THE COMPLETE SAGA comes to Blu-ray Disc from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment! To be released beginning on September 12 internationally and on September 16 in North America, the nine-disc collection brings the wonder of the entire Saga direct to your living room, where you can revisit all of your favorite Star Wars moments – in gorgeous high definition and with pristine, 6.1 DTS Surround Sound.
