In honor of the international 'Star Wars Day' on May 4th, a promise of a big announcement was being hyped, even leading to a website counting it down by the second. Fans all over the globe were anticipating what it was, but were ultimately letdown when the website crashed immediately after the countdown ended, and even more so when it turned out to be none other than the details on the Blu-Ray version of the complete saga being released in one set in September. From Online Social Media:

Die hard Star Wars fans were furious about the site crashing and were even more so when they found out about what the big surprise was. It turns out that the revelation was that all 6 movies were being brought out on Blu-ray. The collection will go on sale internationally on 12th September and in North America on 16th September.

Disappointed fans let their anger be known on Twitter, with one user writing “That was announced in January. @StarWars you have failed me.” The let down clearly was unforgivable as another livid fan tweeted “Again, us loyal fans have been cheated with another release of digitally “enhanced” nonsense. At least we can look forward to the return of Star Wars in 3D to our cinemas, lets hope its not the cheap useless version.

What do y'all think about the announcement? Were you expecting and/or hoping for something more revealing (such as the live action TV series that we haven't heard about in a while or maybe even a seventh film)? Anyways, Star Wars: The Complete Saga hits Blu-Ray September 16th, later this year!
