Star Wars to Blu-Ray in September

Cos

Like ‘Back to the Future’ and ‘Die Hard’ there are very few movies that I would consider getting on Blu-Ray, simply because I already own then on DVD; Star Wars is another one I will consider. If anything to say that I’ve owned it on VHS (twice–regular and special edition) and on DVD. Adding Blu-Ray to the list would mean that I actually own more Star Wars movies of the same name than any other movie…crazy…
