The next action-packed chapter of the Star Wars saga – Star Wars: The Last Jedi – welcomes the return of original characters as well as in-depth looks of the saga’s newest members. This release will include a feature-length documentary from Director Rian Johnson that takes fans on an intimate journey into the creation of Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The release will also include two exclusive scenes featuring Andy Serkis as Snoke prior to his digital makeover, scene breakdowns, deleted scenes, audio commentary and more.
The Star Wars saga continues in The Last Jedi as the heroes and galactic legends go on an epic adventure unlocking mysteries of the Force and shocking revelations of the past. My husband and son saw this at the theater, but watching the Blu-ray was my first time. I would suggest watching The Force Awakens again to get prepped for this movie! In this installment of the Star Wars franchise, Rey is on a mission to get Luke to join the resistance but the old master is reluctant to get back into the fight. While Rey is with Luke, the others are plotting to infiltrate the First Order.
We are introduced to some new characters in this film, the adorable Porgs, Rose, Holdo, DJ and more. My husband actually compared CJ to Lando Calrissian and said we will probably see him in future films. Holdo was an amazing character who gave the ultimate sacrifice. We also see our favorites; Rey, Finn and Poe all develop more as characters in this film. While beloved classics, Chewie, Luke, Leia and Yoda make appearances.
At one point in the film, Luke was speaking to Leia (about Kylo Ren) and he said no one is truly gone forever. It was pretty poetic as the actress who played Leia has since passed. The conflict between light and dark continues to battle in this film. You will have to watch it to see if light continues to win the battle!
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.

Director Rian Johnson takes fans on an intimate journey into the creation of Star Wars: The Last Jedi in a feature-length documentary, explaining his unique interpretation of the Force, detailing the painstaking process of creating Snoke, and deconstructing action-packed scenes from the film such as the epic space battle and the final confrontation. Johnson also reveals two exclusive scenes, featuring Andy Serkis as Snoke prior to his digital makeover, as well as 14 never-before-seen deleted scenes, in addition to his audio commentary.
