STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

 

Writer/Director Rian Johnson takes fans behind the scenes, revealing production secrets

 and never-before-seen footage and deleted scenes

 

I have been a fan of the Star Wars films since I saw the Star Wars  in the theater at the age of 8.  I can remember so clearly how my little mind was blown away by the different worlds, creatures and characters.  My love affair with sci-fi and fantasy films started with that movie I believe!

Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi—the next action-packed chapter of the Star Wars saga— Earned critical acclaim and the No. 1 spot atop 2017’s list of highest-grossing films. The visually stunning film welcomes the return of original characters, including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Yoda, R2-D2 and C-3PO and further explores the deepening journey of the saga’s new members, Rey, Finn, Poe, and Kylo Ren. Now families can bring home the movie digitally in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ and via Movies Anywhere on March 13, two weeks before the 4K Ultra HD™ Blu-ray, and Blu-ray™ disc on March 27.  This release also marks Disney’s first title available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc in both Dolby Vision™ HDR and Dolby Atmos® immersive audio, delivering consumers a transformative viewing experience.
