LucasArts writes,"Featuring cutting-edge animation and a host of special bonus materials, the comprehensive collection explores the farthest reaches of “a galaxy far, far away” with all-new adventures set against the spectacular backdrop of the Star Wars universe."
I honestly can't remember when the original release date was. I think it was sometime in October.
I know I'm going to buy it either way. It's taken me a while (mostly because I haven't been as interested in the show as I should have been) but I'm finally almost through the Season 1 blu-ray. The show is definitely getting better as it goes, and I can say that I'm following it now.
