“A tremendous amount of love and care goes into crafting every new Star Wars story,” Lucasfilm said in announcing the release, highlighting the artists and technicians responsible for the costumes, creature effects, practical models, and visual effects that shaped the film
The studio added that the digital and physical editions will allow viewers to go “behind the scenes with exclusive new featurettes and audio commentary from Director Jon Favreau.”
Alongside standard 4K and Blu-ray editions, fans will be able to pick up a SteelBook release and a U.S.-exclusive Beskar Collector’s Edition featuring premium packaging, metal posters, and digital access
