Lucasfilm will be making an announcement concerning Star Wars on Blu-ray at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. They’ve already announced this, and all signs point to Fall 2011 for the release, so it’s hard to tell what this special announcement may be. Early predictions lean towards some tie-in with 3D, but no one seems sure.
Seeing that Lucas & Co. already announced that the Star Wars series would be coming to Blu-ray we’re not exactly sure what will be announced on Thursday at Panasonic’s CES booth — please, please, please don’t say it’s another Avatar-style two year pack-in exclusive — but the invite promises it will be most impressive.
I think we’d all like to see an original trilogy Blu-ray containing the original, unaltered theatrical releases alongside the special editions, but that’s unlikely. Either way, I’m always excited when there’s an original trilogy announcement.
