The Walt Disney Co., which owns Lucasfilm Ltd., and 20th Century Fox are releasing a digital collection of all six episodes of the Star Wars series.
Amazon is offering the digital downloads at $19.99 each or all six in a package for $89.99.
Various services will start selling them on Friday. Disney is also releasing added features to the films, including extras from each film and deleted scenes.
Services selling the digital versions include Apple’s iTunes, Google Play, M-Go and Amazon.com Inc., among others.

“Brings a newfound appreciation to an old franchise. It’s a good way to refresh yourself in preparation for the new movies, too!”
May the Force be with us all …
