the Force will be with you – everywhere!
As anticipation builds for the December release of Star
Wars: The Force Awakens, the first new film in the Star Wars Saga in a decade, The Walt Disney
Studios, Lucasfilm Ltd., and 20th
Century Fox today announced the upcoming release of The Star Wars Digital Movie Collection. For the
first time ever, all six epic films in the Saga, from The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi, will be available on Digital HD
throughout the galaxy – or at least here on Earth – globally beginning Friday,
April 10.
“Since the debut of the first film nearly 40 years
ago, Star Wars
has become a worldwide phenomenon with legions of fans from every generation,”
said Alan Bergman, President, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s only fitting that
audiences enjoy this legendary Saga and its many fascinating behind-the-scenes
stories on a wide variety of platforms, and we’re very excited to finally bring
all six films to Digital HD for the first time.”
“We’re thrilled that fans will be able to enjoy the Star
Wars Saga on their
digital devices wherever they go,” commented Lucasfilm President Kathleen
Kennedy. “These films broke new ground in technology, design, sound, and
visual effects, and we’ve created some very special bonus material which delves
into the Saga’s rich history, including new and never-before-released
conversations between legendary Star Wars artists – the masters who helped George bring his
iconic universe to life.”
With Star Wars: Episodes I-VI available for purchase as a complete
digital movie collection and individually, viewers will have the Rebel forces
at their beck and call across their favorite devices anywhere – sunbathing at
the beach, relaxing in their living room with friends, or waiting to board a
flight to Endor (or elsewhere).
Enhancing the movie collection are a host of
never-before-seen special features including Star Wars: Discoveries from
Inside and
insightful Conversations between key contributors from across this celebrated film franchise,
plus a curated collection of classic Star Wars extras from each film. These are
