All of our nerd dreams have come true. Lord Lucas has finally deigned to bring his coveted six-film Star Wars opus to Blu-ray, according to reports of an announcement just made by Lucasfilm representative Steve Sansweet from a panel at the C2E2 comic book convention in Chicago.
While an actual quote has yet top be published, twitter reports began arriving within moments of Sansweet’s announcement:
-
@loquaciousmuse – “Star Wars Blu Ray of all 6 movies w/ tons of newly found extra material coming soon, no date yet.”
@NebsTV - “Star Wars Blu-ray pack with all 6 movies is in the works, loaded with new extras.”
Rest assured, when more info pours in, we’ll update the story. In the meantime, I have to say, while new information hasn’t really been revealed here (Still no date, still no details), it’s always nice to hear the confirmation that the studio is actively working on getting these films released on Blu-ray. I’m curious to know what this “newly found extra material” is, though. I’m personally hoping for nothing beyond the inclusion of the original cuts of the first trilogy. You might be tired of hearing it but Greedo should never shoot first!
UPDATE: Here the actual quote from Sansweet, thanks to IGN:
-
“We have been at work for a couple of years working on – I won’t call it the Ultimate Set because we keep finding stuff – but, a very full set of all six movies on Blu-ray with lots of extra material. We’re finding all kinds of scenes from dailies that have never been seen before. Beyond all of those things that you know about… there are some real treasures.”

If this does not include the original theatrical releases from 1977-1983 of the trilogy fully restored, i am not interested. They can keep their greedo shoots first, hayden and jar jar cgi garbage.
