Summary
The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 will be released on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray, making history as the first Star Wars live-action series to have a physical release.
More Star Wars series are expected to follow suit and be released physically in the future, following the success and pioneering role of The Mandalorian. Having the series in physical format enables viewers to fully experience the acclaimed content and exclusive bonus features, thereby cementing its significance in history.
History is being made as The Mandalorian, the Star Wars series that follows the adventures of Din Djarin and his adopted son Din Grogu, is set to be released on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray. This series initially made history as the first live-action series in the Star Wars franchise and one of the first original Disney+ series. It premiered on Disney+ in 2019 and has since continued to break records and set precedents for all subsequent Star Wars live-action shows. Up until now, the show has only been available to stream on Disney+, where viewers have eagerly tuned in for all three seasons.
Disney has recently announced that both seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian will be released on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray this winter. Each season will come with its own steelbook packaging and concept art cards. Fans can start pre-ordering these seasons on August 28, and the simultaneous release is set for December 12. This marks an exciting milestone as The Mandalorian becomes the first Star Wars live-action series to transition from the digital Disney+ platform to a physical release. The physical release will include never-before-seen bonus content and features. Take a look at the covers and included materials below.
Will Disney Release Other Star Wars TV Shows On 4K & Blu-Ray?
With The Mandalorian paving the way as a trendsetter for future Star Wars live-action series, it's highly likely that other shows will also receive physical releases eventually. This announcement comes almost three years after the completion of The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2, suggesting that similar announcements will be made for Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, and Andor, all of which are expected to have 4K UHD and Blu-ray editions. Moreover, if Disney decides to release The Mandalorian season 3 physically, it becomes even more crucial for The Book of Boba Fett to receive the same treatment, if only to maintain story consistency.
The announcement of the physical release of The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 is a thrilling development, not only for fans but also for the future of Star Wars. In today's era of streaming services and intense competition, it is reassuring to have the opportunity to own this highly acclaimed content in a tangible format that will endure. Additionally, viewers will have the chance to explore exclusive bonus features that have yet to be revealed, similar to the behind-the-scenes content of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian. This iconic Star Wars series continues to blaze new trails, and its debut in 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray will solidify its place in history.
