Although Star Wars Kinect has already been announced I don't think it's really been revealed yet as I'm pretty sure the announcement teaser was just a prototype, like when The Force Unleashed was first announced. No doubt they'll show the proper game at E3 but they might be showing it first on "Star Wars Day" (May the 4th, get it? ) tomorrow (well, it's "today" now here in the UK as it's past midnight) as there's going to be some kind of surprise Star Wars announcement in about 13 hours. Even if it's not Star Wars Kinect it's no doubt worth checking out for fellow Star Wars fans! Here's the official countdown page:

nice find! Isnt it something about the full saga being released on blu-ray for example?

they are using an awful lot of blue on the page, and the window's title says: Star Wars: the complete saga.

Let's hope for more Kinect info though!

there's a blu-ray logo on their frontpage too, check: http://starwars.com/ together with a link to the timer...

They announced that ages ago and it's been available for pre-order since the announcement. (The only reason I haven't pre-ordered yet is that I've been looking out for deals, lol!) I know that's the same with Star Wars Kinect but they haven't actually shown that beyond the teaser which I think was a prototype anyway. It seems like it's going to be a big announcement and the only things other than Star Wars Kinect that it might be (other than some other unexpected Star Wars related surprise) is revealing the live-action TV show or possibly a new movie. (Or maybe the sequel trilogy! The other "new movie" would be an animated Shadows Of The Empire movie or something like that.)

Oh, yeah, that banner has the countdown link on it. It must be something related to the Blu-Rays (not just the Blu-Rays themselves as they'd already been announced like I said) although I can't think what. Would extra deleted scenes for example really merit a countdown to a big announcement? I guess it's probably not Star Wars Kinect then, unless they happen to show that too. Oh well.

Whatever it is, I hope this will be something big

It's definitely an announcement related to the Blu-Ray versions of the movies:

I wonder what it could be? Maybe it's just something like both the original and special edition versions of the Original Trilogy will be included? I was hoping it was going to be something HUGE but I can't think of anything that hasn't already been announced other than what I just said. I bet they'll have a trailer for Star Wars Kinect included on the Blu-Rays too but I doubt they'd have a countdown to announce that. (It's a shame that the Xbox 360 doesn't use Blu-Rays otherwise they could have included a Star Wars Kinect playable demo like when the Star Wars Saga was released on DVD they had Xbox demos for Star Wars Battlefront and The Clone Wars too I think. (Not to be confused with the recent Clone Wars game based on the CGI show.))

thx for confirming Corellian, let's wait and see

[Corellianrogue]

It's just the full info about what's on the Blu-Rays. Sure, it's interesting but hardly countdown worthy and there's not really anything there that we weren't expecting.

weird to get a countdown for that indeed . Not really a nice way to treat your customers in my view, but okay.

I know. Most people knew about nearly everything that was revealed. I'll make this thread slightly more worthwhile by adding this for anybody who hasn't seen it yet, lol!:

It wasn't a joke, May 4th really has been declared Star Wars Day (at least by Lucasfilm, lol!) and they really did have a "big" reveal but it wasn't about Star Wars Kinect unfortunately, they just revealed the exact details of the Blu-Ray extras.
