Finally!!! Long Awaited in HD, Let Alone UHD.
This is by far one of my favorite movies of all time. The real/practical effects dominate even today’s CGI, IMO, & this is from 1981. I was 14 when this came out. I was blown away then, & I am blown away again, what with its masterful restoration. Why it took so long to go beyond its initial DVD release is beyond me. Maybe it was a Rights issue, being a rare collaboration twixt Disney & Paramount.
If you’re into fantasy settings/stories, then this is for you. Great actors? Check. Great sets? Check. Great story? Check. Great effects? Check. Great wardrobe? Check.
I’ve had the DVD for years. Therefore, when I saw it’s been released on 1080p Blu-ray, I grabbed one, like that *snaps fingers*, & I also grabbed this 4k steelbook version at the same time, & I don’t even have a 4k player yet (but I can play it on my PS5 for now). Seeing as the 4k UHD didn’t come with a Blu-ray packed in, too, I grabbed both before they sold out.
Only the Blu-rays are left in February 2024, so grab one before one has to wait another 20 years, and before physical media is no longer sold here.

Blast from the past.
The 4k on this is amazing, the color and the picture is alot better from previous formats. If you're a fan of the film it's a must pick up.

Man this was a very cool movie, awesome practical effects and an appearance from Emperor Palpatine himself!
