Head on over to Blu-ray.com for their in-depth review of the 4K Blu-ray release for director J.J. Abrams’ The Rise of Skywalker (out now). I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – nobody provides a better and more comprehensive Blu-ray review than these guys. Definitely see what they have to say about the 4K UHD release for Episode IX at the provided source link.
The Rise of Skywalker, the ninth and final film in what has become known as “The Skywalker Saga,” returns the franchise from an off-course outing in fairly spectacular fashion. Beyond simply ending the nine-film, four-plus decade journey into and through a galaxy far, far away, the film is in many ways about reconnecting with core Star Wars audiences by correcting some of the structural and narrative wrongs from The Last Jedi. More on those later, but suffice it say that Writer/Director J.J. Abrams, who also performed those same duties on the highly regarded The Force Awakens, takes the material seriously, giving fans a more grounded, recognizably structured, cadenced, and characterized film that is strong with the force.
