How old were you the first time you saw a Star Wars movie? Where where you at? What did you eat? What character in the Star Wars universe can't you live without? These are questions that nearly everyone is able to answer.
Now the Star Wars Saga is coming to us in a completely new way. Star Wars meets hi-def.
This is perhaps the best thing that could possibly happen to the next generation of Star Wars fanatics (well, okay, a re-release in theaters would be better, but hey, this is as sweet as it gets aside from that).
Let's take a look at some of the things that these Blu-ray discs will offer: They're complete with deleted scenes and extended scenes that we've never gotten to see. They contain a TON of documentaries for the Star Wars lover in all of us. They're in HI-DEF (okay, so I already mentioned this, but it's worthy of a second mention).
This set is one that many of us never thought would be produced. Remember back in the early 90s when word was that the original trilogy VHS boxed set was as far as the series was going to be permitted to go in the world of technology? Remember the excitement when the DVDs first were rumored to be in the works? Now we have one step better, and a step that should last for a good many years to come.
And the best part of all is that we will finally get to give the next generation Star Wars in a format that is much more "traditional" to them (even if it is nearly-new technology for the rest of us). This means another generation of children who simply can not get enough and who will fall in love with the characters as many of us did as children and teens. I for one can't wait to experience the wonder of Star Wars all over again with the next generation.
