George Lucas announced today that every one six live-action Star Wars movies might be released on Blu-ray in Fall 2011. Together with seeing every strand of Chewbacca’s hair and Princess Leia look pretty in HD, the box set may even include documentary features and previously unseen footage. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet.
But why did it take so long? Lucas says that they’ve been anticipating Blu-ray to take off:
” We’ve been desirous to do it as soon as we possibly could, but we just wanted to do it when enough people could be in a position to buy it and notice it”
The true die-hard fans might be sad to hear that the first three movies-Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi-won’t be the original version of the movie, but rather the digitally restored version. But hey! Star Wars on Blu Ray! Nothing else matters. [NY Times]
