The movie downloads will come with a "curated collection of classic Star Wars extras from each film," as well as new bonus features*, including "Star Wars: Discoveries from Inside and insightful Conversations between key contributors from across this celebrated film franchise."

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy on the Star Wars digital HD release:

We’re thrilled that fans will be able to enjoy the Star Wars Saga on their digital devices wherever they go. These films broke new ground in technology, design, sound, and visual effects, and we’ve created some very special bonus material which delves into the Saga’s rich history, including new and never-before-released conversations between legendary Star Wars artists – the masters who helped George bring his iconic universe to life.
