Blu-ray sales for ‘Star Wars’ top $84 million - https://variety.com/2011/film/news/blu-ray-sales-for-star-wars-top-84-million-1118043276

‘Star Wars’ breaks Blu-ray sales records - https://www.cnet.com/home/smart-home/star-wars-breaks-blu-ray-sales-records
 

Surprisingly, the 2011 Saga blu ray didn’t appear to sell anywhere near the amount of 2004 OT DVD release - https://money.cnn.com/2004/09/23/news/midcaps/starwars/index.htm (thanks to Keyan Farlander for the link)

^ $84 million in the first week for the 2011 Saga blu ray set ($79.99 per unit), but $100+million on the first day for the 2004 OT DVD set ($42 per unit).
