The wait is over! Bring home the adventure and share Star Wars™ with your whole family – when STAR WARS: THE COMPLETE SAGA comes to Blu-ray Disc from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment! To be released beginning on September 12 internationally and on September 16 in North America, the nine-disc collection brings the wonder of the entire Saga direct to your living room, where you can revisit all of your favorite Star Wars moments – in gorgeous high definition and with pristine, DTS-HD Master Audio 6.1. Dive deeper into the universe with an unprecedented 40+ hours of special features, highlighted by never-before-seen content sourced from the Lucasfilm archives. UPDATE: Box art added and the outer slipcase/box will be a lenticular shifting between a young Anakin and Luke.
UPDATE 2: Jimmy Mac from theforce.net confirmed with Lucasfilm that the box for the Complete Saga will NOT be lenticular.
PROS: We knew we were going to get this figure as soon as we saw him in solicitation imagery for the Season 3 debut, and after a not-quite-right trial run in the ARC Troopers Battle Pack, Hasbro delivers on a great figure and it’s pretty close to the onscreen version in terms of deco and the skull-face helmet deco is too cool. Lots of accessories and plenty of articulation, too.
CONS: The blueish-gray used for the accent color seems to be a bit off when compared to the character art, but still a fine figure and not a reason to pass on him.
