LucasFilm has announced that all six Star Wars movies will be available in Digital HD on April 10. They will be available on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Instant Video, PlayStation Video, Xbox Video and more.

 

Ooh, sweet! Maybe now I won't have to eventually dump a hundred dollars on the blu ray collection!

Already have the Blu Ray set with all six movies, so I won't be needing this. I'm surprised they're actually releasing these digitally, though. I never thought they would.

It's probably to help build hype for Ep. VII. Plus Disney has been decent about digital releases- you can rent or buy a ton of classics and Pixar movies on Amazon, for example.

That could be it. It's still surprising, though. They've had the option for years, and they're just now releasing the movies in a digital format.

I dream of the day that Disney decides to release the theatrical versions of each films on Blu Ray

but ill still watch the shit out of this (atleast half of it) 

Does the fact that Episodes 5 through 3 are available on Disney Movies Anywhere mean that Disney already has the distribution rights to those films or do they just get to be on there even though Fox has the rights to them until 2020 because of convoluted contract reasons? Shame that Fox has the rights to A New Hope forever though, since that separates it from the rest of the movies in the series that will eventually be under the mouse umbrella. Hopefully after Disney makes billion of bucks from Ep 7 they can buy it from Fox like they did with Paramount's Marvel movies.
