STAR WARS Blu On Its Way

Oh, to be a fan of the STAR WARS franchise this week, especially if you are lucky enough to a resident of Los Angeles.  Not only has it been announced the Arclight in Hollywood will be hosting a special screening of EMPIRE STRIKES BACK on May 19th complete with Harrison Ford Q&A, but word on the STAR WARS series on Blu-Ray is beginning to rear its glorious head, as well.  IGN is reporting Steve Sansweet, Director of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm, was on hand at the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (C2E2).  He had this to say about STAR WARS in hi-def:

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.

While Sansweet didn’t have an exact date to announce on when ravenous fanboys (myself included) could get their hands on these, he did say we won’t be waiting too long.

Which brings up an interesting question.  Which scene from all six STAR WARS films are you most looking forward to in beautiful HD?  Let us know by shooting us a comment below.
