Attention all Jedi and Sith: Disney will be re-releasing the original, unaltered cut of the first “Star Wars” trilogy on Blu-ray.
Fans of the Lucas franchise will soon be able to get an HD look at Luke’s home planet, Tatooine and gaze into the wonder that is the Death Star — without all of those edits and special edition SFX.
According to comicbook.com, “The project has been under way for quite some time, but it’s been challenging because of some damage to the original negatives they are utilizing.”
A release date has not yet been set, but the studio’s goal is to have it ready before the next Episode hits theaters in 2015.
