I shouldn't get my hopes up, but... is it happening? Finally?

If this does actually happen, Disney is going to charge out the ass for this, no doubt. I'm pretty sure they put out a Toy Story trilogy on Blu Ray for $100 a few years back.

The first ever Blu Ray release of the theatrical Star Wars trilogy? Probably the most highly demanded Blu Ray release of all time? I'd expect $150 - $200 for all three films, at least. Should be a fantastic set, at least. Disney does a great job with these kinds of things.

A release leading up to Episode VII would be amazing.

I bought the SE trilogy on Laserdisc box set at the time around 98 for £120....uk version wasn't even ac3 sound either

 Digging around, it looks like the Definitive Collection Laserdisc set retailed for $250 USD back in 1993. That's incredible. That's before inflation, too.

I have to imagine that wasn't for mainstream audiences. Does anyone know how well it sold? Was it considered a success back then?

Since then, the hardcore Star Wars community has only grown in size. I know I'd drop $250-$300 for an original, unaltered trilogy box set done right, but would Disney actually put something out with that kind of price tag today?
