Ah it€™s that time again€The new Star Wars VHS/DVD/CD/Soundtrack/toys are about to be released and we, the loving fans (who PAID for the Prequel trilogy!) are being asked to shell out our hard earned shekels for another version of the two trilogies that inspired god knows how much cos-play. Of course, this isn€™t just any old release with a dust busted image and Han acting in self defence, no sir. These are the BLU RAYS. Yes, I capitalised, just as I suspect George Lucas would want, an appropriate level of Rancor. The Star Wars trilogies on Blu Ray, at long last, provided you didn€™t download the 1080p torrents. All those new behind the scenes extras! All those revelatory interviews! Hitherto unknown secrets about the making of the films finally being revealed!
