IGN has given us the low down on the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 4 on Blu-ray & DVD. All 22 episodes will be featured in 1080p HD (2.35:1 widescreen), mixed in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray, and the DVD will offer an anamorphic transfer with 5.1 Dolby Digital audio. Bonus features include 5 video commentaries with the cast and crew and a collectible poster. Features exclusive to the Blu-ray include the Jedi Temple Archives (An Extensive Database of Early Test Animations), Concept Art and 3-D Turnarounds.
Here is the synopsis:
Executive Producer George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation present Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season Four. The battle to save the galaxy reaches new heights of peril and new depths of darkness. The valiant Jedi Knights and clone troopers defend exotic planets from enemy forces. They wage war underwater, battle across a night-shrouded world, and take on the merciless Death Watch. Our heroes are tested like never before as Anakin is haunted by the realities of his past, Ahsoka fights to free her people and an undercover Obi-Wan braves a deadly bounty hunter tournament. Season Four culminates with the shocking return of a villain from the past: the ruthless Darth Maul, who will stop at nothing to achieve vengeance. The epic action, timeless characters, and sense-shattering sights and sounds of Star Wars surge on in Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season Four.
Both the DVD & Blu-ray will hit stores October 23rd, 2012!
UPDATE: It seems IGN may have jumped the gun on this info has been pulled from their website.
UPDATE #2: It would appear that the reason IGN pulled the article down last night was because they wanted to give us MORE info on the release as well as a trailer (check it out below). IGN has also added details on the five video commentaries we can expect to see on this season's box set. There will be a commentary on each of the main five arcs from this past season (the Mon Cala arc, the Umbara arc, the Slvers arc, the Obi-Wan undercover/Bounty Hunter's arc, and, of course, the Darth Maul returns arc).
Here's what IGN says we can expect in each commentary:
