The force was strong with Star Wars fans at this weekend's Celebration V convention in Orlando. Though not entirely unexpected, George Lucas announced that the entire Star Wars saga will be released on Blu-ray in 2011. That's all six movies on six discs loaded with extras including new documentaries, deleted scenes, and interviews from the Lucas archives.Blu-ray won the HD battle over HD-DVD fairly early on, so why the hold up? The bloated beard stated that, "We've been wanting to do it as soon as we possibly could, but we just wanted to do it when enough people would be able to buy it and see it." Lucas' decision to hold off until Blu-ray had thoroughly saturated the market may be a financially sound gameplan, but let's face it. Nerds want it now.
In a street interview, one nerd (who wished to remain anonymous) commented on the announcement saying, "I really liked Star Wars when I was a kid, but as I got older I just sort of realized how bad they really are. Ewoks, Jar-Jar, Hayden Christensen, seriously? Come on."
Regardless of what Kyle Farnell (the anonymous nerd) thinks, look for the entire Star Wars saga on Blu-ray next year. And just for kicks, here's the deleted scene of Luke assembling his lightsaber before entering Jabba's palace.
Seriously, why was this deleted?
