'Star Wars' movies to be released online

"Since the debut of the first film nearly 40 years ago, 'Star Wars' has become a worldwide phenomenon with legions of fans from every generation," said Walt Disney Studios head Alan Bergman in a statement late Monday.
"It's only fitting that audiences enjoy this legendary saga and its many fascinating behind-the-scenes stories on a wide variety of platforms, and we're very excited to finally bring all six films to Digital HD for the first time."
A new episode in the franchise, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," is due for release on December 18 this year in the United States.
