Later this week, the entire Star Wars saga hits high-definition Blu-ray for the first time. Even though Lucas has made some tweaks to the original trilogy (again), most true fans are going to pick up a copy because it’s high-def and there’s a small galaxy worth of never-before-seen behind the scenes footage and deleted scenes from all six films.
One very cool thing that is included is a look behind the scenes at the origin and creation of the AT-ATs for Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, which you can see some of in the clips below!
