ComingSoon.net shares a press release from Lucasfilm, and (surprise!) it looks like the "Revenge of the Sith" DVD will be on the shelves in plenty of time for the holiday season.
Streeting on November 1st, "the DVD will include a brand-new full-length documentary produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. as well as two new featurettes — one that explores the prophecy of Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One, and the other that looks at the movie’s amazing stunts. A 15-part collection of Lucasfilm’s groundbreaking web documentary series, Making Episode III, will also be included in the set. A two-level playable demo of Star Wars Battlefront II is also included on the DVD." (And since Episodes 1 & 2 also included audio commentaries on their DVD releases, I’d expect the same, even though the press release doesn’t seem to mention it.)
Lucasfilm’s Jim Ward had this to say about the impending release: ""’Revenge of the Sith" gave audiences an extraordinary experience, and we want this DVD to do the same … From the beginning of production, George (Lucas) wanted to be sure we chronicled everything that went into the making of ‘Episode III’ specifically to create an incredible DVD experience. This DVD has literally been three years in the making, and it’s going to be a fantastic way to complete the Star Wars saga at home."
Video game nuts will be happy to know that "Battlefront 2" will also be available on 11/1.
