They do say bonus material will vary by retailer but that you’ll be able to purchase them as a collection or separately, and that they’ll work on “across [your] favorite devices anywhere”. Sadly, there’s no reason to hope the original trilogy will be presented in its original, unmolested form. Georgia Lucas, in that regard, shot last.
I’ve bought every version since the original VHS, so why stop now, right? Star Wars on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV is only a few days away!
