From our friends at ADVFilms, here's the information on the upcoming Starburst Edition set for release on August 9th:

FARSCAPE: STARBURST EDITION 2.2
Fifth Volume Of The Deluxe Starburst Series

ADV Films is pleased to announce the fifth installment of its wildly
successful Farscape: Starburst Edition series, with an expanded and updated volume that takes us through the midpoint in the second season of the classic sci-fi series. Farscape: Starburst Edition 2.2 will be available everywhere DVDs are sold on August 9.

Farscape is an adventure as broad and weird as the universe – full of strange creatures, bizarre twists, irreverent humor, raucous action, passion, and romance! Produced in Australia by The Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment, Farscape has been called "The Best Sci-Fi on TV," by TV Guide, and hailed as "TV's Best Space Series" by USA Today. Farscape also received the Saturn Award for Best Syndicated/Cable Series three years in a row (2001, 2002, 2003).

Farscape: Starburst Edition 2.2 (SRP $24.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release including seven episodes presented in both English 5.1 and 2.0. This collection is packed with goldmine of exclusive extras – a real "drenload" if you know your Farscape lingo!

First off, there's "Building Zhaan," an in-depth interview with Virginia Hey (Zhaan), filmed exclusively for the Starburst Edition.
Ms. Hey covers the gamut in this 30+ minute interview, discussing her childhood, thoughts on spirituality, and how her personal background informed her characterization of the inimitable blue priestess, Zhaan.

Next, with the kind permission of the Jim Henson Company, we dip back into the archives to present segments from never-before-seen directors cuts of two unforgettable episodes from Season 1 – "The Flax" and "Through the Looking Glass." Seeing these episodes in their unfinished, "raw" form will give you new insight into the complexities of producing Farscape.

Then, we have another Starburst Edition exclusive: "Listening In" with Composer Guy Gross. Join us as we visit the celebrated Farscape composer in his Sydney studio to explore his score for "My Three Crichtons." There are also deleted scenes and a hilarious Season 2 blooper reel. Brush up on your Farscape lingo by playing the interactive FarSpeak Game, this time covering the delectable topic "The Moya Menu."

There are brand new installments of the Starburst staples "The Farscape Chronicles" by Paul Simpson (Farscape: The Illustrated Companion), "Alien Encounters," and "Cool Farscape Facts." Rounding out this powerhouse collection are Actor Biographies for Anthony Simcoe (D'Argo) and Virginia Hey (Zhaan), Character backstories for D'Argo and Zhann, an Alien Races Multimedia glossary, and an extensive Production Design Gallery. Super extras and seven great episodes make this collection a must-have for every Farscape fan!
