The “Star Wars films” are coming to home video … for what feels like the 30th time.

The home-video releases must conquer a threat more menacing than Darth Maul’s double-bladed lightsaber or the Death Star.

The films, arriving Oct. 13 on Blu-ray via commemorative steelbook editions, face the seemingly impossibly high expectations of Hollywood executives.

The “Star Wars” franchise isn’t alone in its lofty dreams of selling discs by the truckload and making billions in the process. For years, the studios have relied on home-video sales to boost the bottom line.
