Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Blu-ray
Disney is ready to release theRise of SkywalkerBlu-ray onMarch 31, with a digital release onMarch 17, and I’m sure this is very exciting news to someone out there. I was extremely underwhelmed withRise of Skywalker, but like allStar Warstitles, it has its fans – and they’ll no doubt be eager to snap this up. The home media release comes with the following special features:
Making that John Williams featurette a “digital exclusive” is supremely disappointing, but studios are eager to ditch physical media entirely, and that’s why we’re going to see more and more digital exclusives. And here’s some more jargon for you:
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkeris packaged several ways to ensure fans get the most out of their at-home viewing experience. The Multiscreen Edition includes Blu-ray and a Digital copy, giving viewers the flexibility to watch the film on different devices. Those with 4K Ultra HD capability may opt for a 4K UHD Ultimate Collector’s Edition, including 4K UHD, Blu-ray and a Digital copy. 4K Ultra HD provides four times the resolution of HD paired with fully immersive picture and sound and Dolby Atmos audio, allowing viewers at home to practically feel the Force.
In addition toThe Rise of Skywalker,Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,Star Wars: Attack of the Clones,Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith,Star Wars: A New Hope,Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back,Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,Star Wars: The Force AwakensandRogue One: A Star Wars Storyare getting 4K UHD releases for the first time on March 31(Star Wars: The LastJediandSolo: A Star Wars Storyalready have 4K releases).On top of all that, Best Buy is going to have an exclusive box set.

Sadly, it doesn’t look like this box set will contain the holy grail ofStar Warshome media – the original cuts of the original trilogy. I long for the day when I can purchase the original trilogy void of all the goofy additional CGI George Lucas added. But will that day ever come? I have my doubts.
