We can only hope, not just for fans, but the future dominance of Blu-ray that the Star Wars Saga be released on Blu-ray soon. It's for sure that we will see Star Wars on Blu-ray because 20th Century Fox is one of the backers of the format, but the question is when. I have seen what Star Wars can look like in HD after seeing it on HBO HD. I know lots of hard core fans would go out and buy a Blu-ray player to have the ultimate collection in High Definition. I can see 20th Century Fox putting a hefty $199 price tag on a 6 - 7 disc set and I can see lots of fans forking out the dough to have the ultimate collection even though most of them have spent hundreds of dollars on previous VHS, Laser Disc, DVD collections. Here are a couple of the requirements to entice these potential buyers: 1. Episodes 4, 5, and 6 to be released with both the remastered with no special edition additions (meaning we would like to have Dolby Digital sound, excellent picture quality and be THX approved) and also the special edition version to satisfy both fans and George Lucas. 2: A seventh disc with all of the special features that have been put on any format, being VHS, Laser Disc, or DVD. Sony should get creative with this project by not charging 2oth Century Fox any licensing fees or some kind of incentive to get them to put in on Blu-ray as soon as possible. I don't know what needs to be done, but someone needs to take charge.
