I think it’s no surprise that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is one of, if not THE most anticipated film of the year. As to be expected, Disney and 20th Century Fox are re-releasing the original and prequel trilogy, otherwise known as The Complete Saga…soon to be the almost complete saga. First, on October 13th a repackage of The Complete Saga on Blu-ray with Darth Vader front and center on the box.

And for all the collector’s out there, if you wait until November 13th you can get all six films in some very slick Limited Edition Steelbooks.

Now I know many of you are disappointed that these are just repackages of the first Blu-ray release. Believe me, as a fan I am just as disappointed. But, for all we know, something good will happen in the future. For some of us, we still have our VHS and/or LaserDiscs of the unaltered version of the trilogy to look back on.

But, for those who are not bothered by Greedo shooting first or Vader screaming no, these releases are a nice addition to any movie lover’s collection.

May The Force Be With You!
