LucasFilm has chosen Star Wars Day (May The 4th) to finally reveal additional info in regards to the upcoming Star Wars Blu-ray releases , because of hit shelves September 16th . The 3 editions include The whole Saga with all of the movies included, or the unique trilogy / prequels by themselves. When the counter hit zero the official website has dropped the curtain on… absolutely nothing to date because it’s down, likely crashed by the refreshing of one billion fans around the globe. Thus far we’ve been in a position to suss out the discharge dates (September 12th internationally, 16th within the US) and a catalogue of special features included after the break along side a trailer. Currently the positioning is refreshing to the ordinary Fox page, but from what we saw before it crashed, the plan is for a promotion where fans share the page on social media networks, and access additional artwork, etc. as more people continue to go to inside the page. We’ll tell you if R2-D2 can get the servers back up, until then we will be able to all just imagine what the 3 new documentaries could be like.
