George Lucas announced that the entire Star Wars saga was coming to Blu-ray in fall 2011, and this week he made good on that promise. On September 30, 2011 you’ll be able to purchase the Blu-ray collection in one of three ways: (1) The Complete Saga (Episodes I-VI) for $139.99; (2) The Original Trilogy for $69.99; (3) The Prequel Trilogy for $69.99. The Complete Saga set will come bundled with “more than 30 hours of extensive special features including never-before-seen deleted and alternate scenes, an exploration of the exclusive Star Wars archives, and much more.” Full PR after the break.

The three sets are available to preorder at Amazon today at prices lower than the specified MSRP: Complete Saga ($89.99); Original Trilogy ($44.99); Prequel Trilogy ($44.99). See what I did there?

If you’ve purchased a 3DTV then you already know that exciting 3D content is annoyingly absent from the retail space. You can’t even pick up the best 3D feature film Avatar unless you buy it with a Panasonic set. But I’ve got some good news for you, so listen here. Walt Disney Studios has made plans to release “at least” 15 Disney films in 3D this year. The selection includes older classics such as The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast as well as modern hits such as Tangled and Tron: Legacy. Disney promises that the latter two films will release in 3D day-and-date and packaged with the Blu-ray 2D version. Be sure to look after the break for the full PR which lists other Disney hits getting the Blu-ray 3D treatment in 2011.
