All Six Star Wars Movies Will Be Re-Released In Steelbook This Fall!

2015 is the year to be a fan of Star Wars and if the nearly 50-year old franchise is completely alien to you, you really, really need to get out more. Incidentally, you're also in luck, as timeless as George Lucas's popular film franchise has been since breaking ground in 1977 and with a multitude of games, television shows, novels and comic books therein. Indeed, there are dozens of ways to celebrate this iconic saga, BUT, as if there weren't enough, Lucasfilm, Fox and Walt Disney Co. have announced new Blu-Ray steelbook and repackaged versions of all six movies thus far to arrive between October and November.

Bear these in mind with the forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December, and guaranteed it'll be a great entry into 2016, and hopefully we will learn more about the progress upcoming spin-offs as well as the eighth film. And considering the announcement, maybe there is something to all those rumors about Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson making a return to their earlier prequel roles...just maybe. Rumors, at best, but just maybe.

Los Angeles, CA (August 5, 2015) – As the galaxy prepares for the next generation of Star Wars, the six epic films will each release as commemorative Blu-ray steelbooks on November 10th. These highly collectible films will be available for a limited time only and can be pre-ordered beginning August 7th. In addition, Star Wars: The Complete Saga will be released in newly repackaged artwork on October 13th. The announcements were made today by The Walt Disney Studios, Lucasfilm Ltd., and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
