You are here: The timer has finished counting down, and it looks as though the Star Wars Galaxies news has nothing to do with video games. That won't stop you from watching the films on your PlayStation 3, since the entire collection is being released on Blu-ray for the first time.
The nine-disc set includes all six movies, as well as bonus discs containing footage from various spoofs, new documentaries, and more. The set will be available Sept. 12 internationally and Sept. 16 in North America. Those extra four days shouldn't kill you, since you've already seen these movies about a million times already. Right? It carries a suggested retail price of $139.99 swg credits , so start saving.
Original story:
Tomorrow is May 4, an opportunity that many punsters out there have taken advantage of for years to use the phrase "May the Fourth be with you." Hilarious, right? Dumb joke aside, the studio behind Star Wars is using this date to announce something big about its beloved franchise.
Several GI editors (along with numerous other sources around the web) received the following image in our e-mail inboxes this afternoon. The address listed above points toward a countdown showing that an announcement is set to happen in just over 12 hours.
Given the prominent placement of the Blu-ray logo and the "swg credits: The Complete Saga" name, the most popular theory floating around the web right now is that the announcement will concern the upcoming rerelease of the Star Wars movies in Blu-ray format -- perhaps a reveal of the exact contents of the Blu-ray packs? Others think it will be an official announcement of rumored 3D theatrical rereleases of the Star Wars films.
Curiously, though, we were actually sent the image by LucasArts, the video game publishing branch of Lucasfilm, making some of us wonder if there might be a game-related announcement coming. Then again, maybe it was just crossed wires. It's still too early to tell, but we'll be watching the countdown and digging for any other information we can find. Look for an update here as soon as we know more.
