George Lucas has finally announced the arrival of all 6 Star Wars films on Blu-ray, to be available as a box set and set for a fall 2011 release. The good news is that there will be “extensive special features,” including deleted scenes and documentary featurettes. The bad news is that Episodes IV, V, and VI will not be the original versions. Han shoots first? Not in high def he won’t.

Speaking to the New York Times, Lucas explained his reasoning for not including the originals in the high-def set:

Mr. Lucas said that to release the original versions of these films on Blu-ray was “kind of an oxymoron because the quality of the original is not very good.”

“You have to go through and do a whole restoration on it, and you have to do that digitally,” he added. “It’s a very, very expensive process to do it. So when we did the transfer to digital, we only transferred really the upgraded version.”

Too expensive? Yeah, cause Lucas is really hurting for cash these days.

Lucas made the announcement at the Star Wars Celebration V festival, where he showed off a legendary cut scene showing Luke building a lightsaber and stowing it in R2D2:

We know what will be on a lot of Christmas lists in 2011.

Star Wars fans waiting for the movies to finally come to Blu-ray might not have to wait too much longer. The Digital Bits reports that a Lucasfilm rep at the 2010 comic con in Chicago said the company has been working on the Blu-ray versions of the disks, with one of the delays being the sheer amount of extras the company “keeps finding.” Via The Digital Bits:

Lucasfilm’s Steve Sansweet has reportedly confirmed, during a panel today at the C2E2 comic convention in Chicago, that the company is now working on a Blu-ray Disc box set of all six Star Wars films loaded with extras, for release “in the not too distant future.” We’re awaiting any kind of official statement from Lucasfilm – one MAY appear on Star Wars.com in the coming days. Nonetheless, MANY people who were in the panel began Tweeting reports of the news almost the moment the words left Sansweet’s mouth. IGN has also reported the news with an actual quote from Sansweet: “We have been at work for a couple of years working on – I won’t call it the Ultimate Set because we keep finding stuff – but, a very full set of all six movies on Blu-ray with lots of extra material. We’re finding all kinds of scenes from dailies that have never been seen before. Beyond all of those things that you know about… there are some real treasures.” There is no other official information at this time, but we’ll post additional details when and if they come in.
