In celebration of May 4th (Star Wars Day), Lucas film has released the details of the upcoming Star Wars Blu-Ray set. There are WAY too many extras to post here, but you can read them all (and see the individual trilogy release's cover art) by following this link. However, there are quite a few supplements that do stand out:
- The complete saga contains nine-discs: The special editions of the original 3 Star Wars films, the 3 prequel films, and 3 discs of extras.
- NEW! STAR WARS ARCHIVES: EPISODES IV-VI
Including: deleted, extended and alternate scenes; prop, maquette and costume turnarounds; matte paintings and concept art; supplementary interviews with cast and crew; and more.
- Star Wars Tech (2007, Color, Apx. 46 Minutes) – Exploring the technical aspects of Star Wars vehicles, weapons and gadgetry, Star Wars Tech consults leading scientists in the fields of physics, prosthetics, lasers, engineering and astronomy to examine the plausibility of Star Wars technology based on science as we know it today.
- Star Wars Spoofs (2011, Color, Apx. 91 Minutes) – The farce is strong with this one! Enjoy a hilarious collection of Star Wars spoofs and parodies that have been created over the years, including outrageous clips from Family Guy, The Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother and more — and don’t miss “Weird Al” Yankovic’s one-of-a-kind music video tribute to The Phantom Menace!
- Brand new cover art (It's safe to say that the above complete saga's art is BEAUTIFUL, but I am not a fan at all of the separate trilogy's art work.)
Despite only getting the special editions of the films, I feel the extras more than make up for it.
Whether or not you feel it's a worthy buy, I hope you have a happy Star Wars Day... and remember, beware the Revenge of the 5th,
