10. april lanseres de seks Star Wars-filmene som elektronisk kjøpefilm – Digital HD – hos alle de største tilbyderne. Det er Blu-ray-versjonene som utgis.
Tjenester som iTunes (som er mest aktuelt for mange her hjemme), Google Play, Amazon Instant Video, PlayStatiom Store og Xbox Video er blant stedene hvor filmene fås kjøpt, melder Lucasfilm.
De kan kjøpes individuelt eller samlet i Star Wars Digital Movie Collection.
Mye tyder på at prisene blir 89 dollar for alle seks og 20 dollar per film. Med dagens kronekurs blir det hhv. ca. 710 og 160 kroner.
Mange fans av filmserien ønsker seg spesielt de tre første filmene i uredigerte, originalversjoner, men deres ønske er ennå ikke oppfylt.
De nye digitale lanseringene er basert på Blu-ray-utgavene, men har to aldri før sette dokumentarer – Star Wars: Discoveries from Inside and Conversations.
– Vi er veldig opprømte over at vi nå endelig bringer alle de seks Star Wars-filmene til Digital HD for første gang, sier Alan Bergman, Walt Disney Studios President.
