Hey there, time traveller!

The two Star Wars trilogies are making their Blu-ray debut in North America on Sept 16, as separate trilogy collections (Episodes I-III and Episodes IV-VI) and as one complete nine-disc collection: Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
Presented in high definition and 6.1 DTS Surround Sound, the film package will include more than 40 hours of extras, including never-before-seen content, according to a press release from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
The extras will include a 91-minute doc on Star Wars spoofs featuring snippets of parodies from Family Guy, The Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother and “Weird Al” Yankovic’s music video tribute to The Phantom Menace, sung to the tune of Don McLean’s American Pie.
Apparently, the Blu-ray edition will not feature the original trilogy (Episodes IV to VI) as they appeared theatrically, but the versions digitally “enhanced” by George Lucas following the release of Episodes I to III.
