La Saga complète de Star Wars : 3 disques qui feront mouiller vos pantalons

Hier c’était la journée Star Wars avec le fameux May the 4th be with you et pour cette occasion Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment a annoncé le contenu retrouvé sur les disques 7-8-9 de cette saga.

C’est en janvier dernier que la saga complète en Blu ray de Star Wars fu mentionné à travers tous les médias. Cette saga comporte 9 disques Blu-Ray dont 6 dédiés aux films et 3 pour des « archives ». Ce n’est qu’hier que j’ai reçu le communiqué de presse annonçant le contenu des 3 derniers disques. Je vous dis, cette saga risque de salir plusieurs paires de jeans, de la PrOn pour geeks !

(Roulement de tambours….) – Je vous fais un copié-collé car vous lisez tous l’anglais et il me reste seulement 5 minutes à mon heure du diner.
