Its interesting that the only Jedi pictured on the covers is Yoda and not Luke Skywalker. The good news for those of you who don’t need to own these new collectible covers is that the Blu-rays don’t feature any new special features which means you won’t have to repurchase the films. Here is the official Star Wars steelbook press release:
Each Film Presented in Unique, Collectible Character Steelbook Packaging available November 10th
Also Available Newly repackaged Star Wars: The Complete Saga to be released on October 13th
Each film from the Saga is presented with new character packaging allowing fans to choose their favorite or collect all six for a limited time. Characters include: The Phantom Menace – Darth Maul; Attack of the Clones – Yoda; Revenge of the Sith – General Grievous; A New Hope – Darth Vader; The Empire Strikes Back – Imperial Stormtrooper; and Return of the Jedi – Emperor Palpatine.
In addition to the collectible steelbook packaging, each single disc Blu-ray includes existing audio commentary with George Lucas and the film crew as well as audio commentary from archival interviews with the cast and crew.
The newly repackaged Saga includes all six feature films on Blu-ray, along with three additional discs containing more than 40 hours of previously released extensive special features.
