Are you waiting for the Star Wars films to come to Blu-ray? Well, prepare to keep waiting.

Remember how it seemed to take forever for the original Star Wars trilogy to come to DVD?  It seems that George Lucas, creator of the film series, wanted to wait until DVD players were in nearly household, and it seems he wants to do the same thing before the famous movies come to Blu-ray.

According to the Australian edition of Gizmodo, 20th Century Fox Managing Director Chris Dunn spoke at a Blu-ray launch event this week, and when directly asked about the current status of the Star Wars films, he simply said that was a question for George Lucas.  Or translation: Yep, just like DVD, we’re all going to have to wait a while before we get to see the highest grossing sci-fi film series ever in glorious high definition.

The only reason this is odd is because sci-fi and action/adventure films are the best selling films on Blu-ray currently because those are the typical film choices of the current Blu-ray customers: early adopters.  As a rabid fan of the series, I can’t wait to see the movies in true HD, but I understand Mr. Lucas’ viewpoint also.

Of course, once they are released, then the question is will we get the theatrical cuts, or will have to suffer through Greedo shooting first once they do appear on Blu-ray?
