Solo: A Star Wars Story's 4K Blu-ray/DVD Release Date And Bonus Content Announced

Though many fans believe Solo: A Star Wars Story is inessential in the franchise, Disney and Lucasfilm thought Han Solo's origin was worth the effort. Although it may not be the highest-rated Star Wars movie, those that loved watching Young Solo acquire the Millenium Falcon will be able to do so at home beginning in September, which is when Solo: A Star Wars Story will be released digitally and physically.

According to a press release, the digital version--which will be purchasable in both HD and 4K Ultra HD (UHD) formats--will release on September 14, while the physical version--which will be purchasable on Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray 4K UHD, DVD, and On-Demand--will release on September 25.

Our Solo review said, "Solo wasn't an essential story to tell, and some of this might have been better left to the imagination. It's valid for some fans to wish Disney would devote resources to telling fresher tales that don't rely so heavily on nostalgia and existing plots and characters. But Solo: A Star Wars Story is what we have right now, and if it's simply an enjoyably well-crafted side story, well, is that really so bad?"
