At Celebration V, George Lucas announced that all six of the Star Wars movies will be coming to Blu-ray.
Okay, so there are some people out there who already have 1080p versions of the entire saga, but that’s besides the point. Â This is the first official HD Star Wars version to be offered, and it’s not just the quality everyone is waiting for.
Lucas screened a deleted scene from Return of the Jedi at Celebration V, hinting that other deleted scenes and bonus material might be included on the Blu-Ray versions of the Episodes I-VI.
For those who didn’t sit through the hours and hours of behind the scenes footage and featurettes on the DVDs (which I did), here’s the recap: Star Wars does extras like no one else–all out.
Extras, extras, extras… but deleted scenes?  The official press release says that documentaries, vintage behind-the-scenes moments, interviews, retrospectives, and never-before-seen footage from the Lucasfilm archives will be included on the Blu-Rays.
As for the release date, Lucas was less specific. Â ”I wish I could say it was coming out this year, but it will come out next year.”
The official release also states the Star Wars Blu-Rays will be available Fall 2011… so we can expect lines to begin forming soon.
