We’re pretty lucky here at Big Picture Big Sound, often among the first kids on our block to receive a glimpse of upcoming Blu-rays. But what about the every-fan who can’t wait until September 16 to see a bit of the 40+ hours of bonus content coming on the Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray set?
Not coincidentally on the eve of the San Diego Comic-Con 2011, Fox Mobile Entertainment has announced the availability of the Star Wars Blu-ray: Early Access App as a free download for the iPad/iPad 2 at the Apple iTunes Store on July 20th, with support for all iDevices (iPhone, iPod touch) coming next month.
Behind a brilliantly designed touchscreen motion/audio interface lies a cross-section of the upcoming supplements, organized by each of the six films. Stand by for individually downloadable cast-and-crew interview and commentary clips, 360-degree prop/maquette/costume turnarounds that we can control, and plenty of never-before-seen still photos and artwork with detailed annotations. We can also link to the fan community–at StarWars.com, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube–directly from the app.
Of course, if you’re among the enviable throng actually in San Diego this week for Comic-Con, you’re invited to visit Booth #3528 for an even longer peek at the extras, and an in-person look at this amazing, unprecedented app.
Is it September 16 yet?
UPDATE:
Why should Comic-Con attendees have all the fun? Before it ends, we can all check out some of the deleted scenes from the upcoming Star Wars Saga on Blu-ray Disc, as just revealed to folks on hand for the Star Wars Fan Movie Award event:
