Three DVD products of the animated feature Star Wars:  The Clone Wars will street on November 11th.  The three SKUs include a single-disc DVD, a two-disc Special Edition DVD, and a Hi-Def Blu-ray edition, the first time any Star Wars release has been in high definition. 

 

Retailer exclusives include a Best Buy edition in a “steel book” tin, and a Target edition featuring the red-emblazoned Senate guard clone troopers.

 

The standard-definition editions both include feature length audio commentary and the widescreen movie with Dolby 5:1 sound.  The Special Edition and Blu-ray edition include a number of other extras including previews from the first season of The Clone Wars TV series, voice actor features, art gallery, making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, a 90-piece orchestra performing the music, a digital copy of the film for portability, and more.

 

A feature-length conversation audio track is exclusive to the Blu-ray release.

 

The DVD is the last in a nearly year-long sequence of Clone Wars events to launch the new property and TV series (see “The Clone Wars Rolls In”).  Promotional activity is heavy right now, around the premiere of the TV series and leading up to the DVD release (see “Clone Wars Promos Gearing Up”).  Together, the level of activity around this property is providing a major opportunity for Q4 sales.
