Unless you live on the furthest reaches of the Empire, you’ve no doubt heard that the Star Wars Saga, all 6 movies, will be released on Blu-Ray on September 16th. There is a new trailer to whet your appetite while you wait until next month to pick these up.
This new look at the set as a whole delves a bit more into the 40 hours of bonus content that will be featured, which will no doubt be of more interest to the fans than seeing the movies once again. There are scenes showing the younger Obi-Wan in front of a green screen as he strikes down the droids, Harrison Ford kissing a woman that doesn’t look like Carrie Fisher in a candid on set moment, 3D models of the ships, demonstrations on compositing scenes together such as putting the AT-AT models on the snow covered background of Hoth, and other never before seen images and clips.

You may want to keep in mind that if you are looking to see the entire collection of bonus material, you will need to get the complete set, which is all six movies on 9 discs plus a 16 page booklet. This is currently on pre-order at Amazon for $89.99. The two sets that include only the prequel trilogy or original trilogy sold separately do not include this footage. And so Lucas is hoping you’ll go for the whole thing and light up his coffers once more. Given that the films are remastered in 1080p and that added info, the full set is going to make a great Christmas gift this season.
