Simultaneously the most popular and the most hated movie of 2017, the latest installment in the ‘Star Wars’ saga will come to Blu-ray and Ultra HD in SteelBook form soon. Be honest, even if you didn’t like the film, your collector’s impulse will still compel you to buy it. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
How will your video shelf look with all the other ‘Star Wars’ movies (even the prequels you never plan to watch again!) lined up in SteelBook cases, yet this one missing? Not good. You won’t be able to abide that omission.
USA
Best Buy gets the North American SteelBook exclusive with Blu-ray and 4k editions. They’re the same case, just a different cardboard backer. Neither includes 3D. The artwork is perhaps a little busy, but I like it.

Across the pond, Zavvi has its own SteelBook case that currently claims different artwork. I think I like the American version better, but this one’s OK. I suspect that there’s a chance this isn’t the final image and the actual release will sync up in all territories, as has happened on other movies before.
If you want 3D, this is the way to go. Disney will not release the 3D version of the movie in North America at all. Sadly, there is no comprehensive Blu-ray/UHD/3D package bundled all together.

I’ve preordered the 3D copy, figuring that it’ll likely to be the hardest to obtain later. I’m sure it will be easy enough to acquire a UHD disc to put in the case if I want.

I definitely dig the BestBuy one more. Kind of makes me wish they went with the same approach for the TFA steelbook instead of Kylo Ren’s face and light saber.

So far I’ve resisted pre-ordering Josh. Not buying it would subvert my expectations and that is most appropriate for this film.
Add Josh, add some porq lo mein and flied lice to my order please.

Josh,
I have yet to order from Zavvi as I am not all that into steel books … but I am still into 3D. Do you have a region free blu ray player or are all the disks from Zavvi region free?
Thanks
Josh Zyber
AuthorIf you want the 3D but don’t care for the SteelBook, you can get a regular case version here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0787G3WKQ/panandscathed-20
You can sign into Amazon UK with your regular Amazon ID and it will automatically carry over all of your account info. The price will also be a little less than listed because Amazon deducts VAT during checkout if you’re ordering from outside the UK.
Region coding is determined by the studio. Most Disney releases are region-free, aside from a select few of their animated movies. I feel pretty confident that this will be region-free.
Warner
Awesome thanks π

Too bad the movie is garbage. First Star Wars release I don’t want to own. Wish they would release Rogue One as Dolby Vision 4K. I’d love to see a Star Wars movie that looks amazing, but can’t stomach another viewing of this.

What’s wrong with ‘The Last Jedi’?
Chaz Dumbaugh
Dont ask that question, too many haters out there that will go down the rabbit hole of how it ruined Luke and everything that came before this movie, its not worth fighting over π
Timcharger
The ultimate hater is Hitler, so might as well hear from him what’s wrong with the Last Jedi.

Actually my collection works well. It goes from STAR WARS to RETURN OF THE JEDI nicely.
Chaz Dumbaugh
Is that the Lucas enhanced special editions? If so, I wouldnt say your collection is working that well π

So I know I have this preordered, I just cannot remember from where. These prices for steelbookss, though, especially from the UK, feel very high to me. I am pretty sure I have it preordered on both 3D and UHD. I just wish I could remember from where.
