Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers invaded Panasonic’s booth at CES 2011 and have made the following announcement. Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox will be releasing the complete Star Wars saga, that is all 6 Star Wars films, to BluRay in September 2011. This will be billed as the 35th anniversary collection, since the first film was originally released on May 25, 1977. You might think that the six films will come on six BluRay disks. You would be wrong. Instead it will come on nine disks and feature more than 30 hours of extras. The cost for the entire six films is $139.99. The cost for either the original trilogy or the prequel trilogy is about $70. Right now on Amazon they have the original trilogy on BluRay for $44.99 with the prequel trilogy at the same price. Amazon has the complete saga for $89.99.

Don’t forget, that in 2012 we will also be treated to seeing Star Wars in 3-D at the movie theaters. The first film to be released will be Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.

The Blue Sky Disney blog is reporting the George Lucas is not content with just having the Star Wars Trilogy released in 3-D. Lucas also wants to release the Indiana Jones series in 3-D as well. The first and the third movies I would buy, but do not expect me to ever buy numbers two and four.

Next month, Lucasfilm will announce that they’re converting the Indiana Jones Saga to 3D as well. The films will be converted and released in a similar fashion as the Star Wars films with “Raiders of the Lost Ark” the first out of the gate.

Lucas has been bitten by the 3D bug since “Avatar” showed the possible/promise of the technology, so other parts of the Lucasfilm catalog could be on the horizon as well…
