Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) An excellent home release trailer: Releases digitally stateside on March 13th and physically on March 27th; still waiting on a UK release date. It will be the first time that a Star Wars films has been released in 4K. The home release of the film will be backed with bonus content (which The Force Awakens home release was very sorely lacking), the most notable being a feature length directorial documentary and 14 deleted scenes. A complete list of the home release bonus content: • The Director and the Jedi – Go deep behind the scenes with writer-director Rian Johnson on an intimate and personal journey through the production of the movie—and experience what it’s like to helm a global franchise and cultural phenomenon. • Balance of the Force – Explore the mythology of the Force and why Rian Johnson chose to interpret its role in such a unique way. • Scene Breakdowns - Lighting the Spark: Creating the Space Battle – Get a close-up look at the epic space battle, from the sounds that help propel the action, through the practical and visual effects, to the characters who bring it all to life. - Snoke and Mirrors – Motion capture and Star Wars collide as the filmmakers take us through the detailed process of creating the movie’s malevolent master villain. - Showdown on Crait – Break down everything that went into creating the stunning world seen in the movie’s final confrontation, including the interplay between real-word locations and visual effects, reimagining the walkers, designing the crystal foxes, and much more. • Andy Serkis Live! (One Night Only) – Writer-director Rian Johnson presents two exclusive sequences from the movie featuring Andy Serkis’ riveting, raw on-set performance before his digital makeover into Snoke. • Deleted Scenes – With an introduction and optional commentary by writer-director Rian Johnson. • Audio Commentary – View the movie with in-depth feature audio commentary by writer-director Rian Johnson.

Posted February 26, 2018 Ended up a lacklustre nuisance. True, but they can't put that on the back of the DVD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) The film will be releasing for all four current major media formats — 4K (notably the first Star Wars film to be releasing for this format), Blu-Ray, DVD and digitally — in the UK on Monday 9th April. Like with TFA, there will be two sleeve variants for the Blu-Ray release; this time around, it’s First Order and Resistance. Personally, I’m preferring the look of the Resistance sleeve this time around. Kylo looks pretty lonely with only Phasma...where are Snoke and Hux? Despite seeing the film in cinemas quite a lot times within a relatively short window, I’ve had a real itch to watch it again lately (probably because Rebels is ending later on... ), so I can’t wait to see the film again, let alone watch all of the bonus feature content! I definitely need to look into getting the novelisation of the film too. They’ve gone with the much cheaper route of putting out a canonical Director’s Cut (Rian Johnson worked with the author to include many things not included in the film), so it’ll be interesting to see if any of the deleted scenes turn up in the novel and are thus considered canon.
