We’ve been anxiously awaiting a release date for ‘Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’ 9-Film Collection from Disney, not necessarily because of the home media release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker but rather because it will be the first time most of the Star Wars franchise films have ever been available on 4k Blu-ray. [Update: The collection will hit Best Buy stores on March 31st, 2020.]
The $249 collection is a Best Buy exclusive here in the US. In the United Kingdom, it’s an exclusive edition on Amazon.co.uk (and actually a bit cheaper).
Best Buy has just swapped out an earlier image of ‘The Skywalker Saga’ product shot with a more inclusive image that shows the disc art, inside concept book art, and the surprise of a letter from Star Wars legend Mark Hamill. The letter is signed, of course, with “May the force be with you, always.” See a detail of the discs below or full-size product image here.
‘The Skywalker Saga’ features all 9 movies from the main Star Wars storyline packaged in a handsome widescreen format black box featuring the Death Star on the cover. The 27-disc collection includes copies on 4k Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and Digital via Movies Anywhere.
As far as specs, all 9 Star Wars saga movies are provided on 4K UHD (2160p) and Blu-ray (1080p), with Bonus discs only on Blu-ray. We assume HDR on the 4k discs but this detail has not been officially announced. [Update: All discs will include HDR10 – not Dolby Vision, although the single edition of ‘The Last Jedi’ does include both HDR10 & DV.] And, as confirmed by the UK product description all 9 episodes provide audio in Dolby Atmos 7.1.4.
The 9 Star Wars films in the collection include Episode I: Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of The Clones, Episode III: Revenge of The Sith, Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Episode VI: Return of The Jedi, Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Episode VIII: The Last Jedi and Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

Ugh, call me when I can get 4,5,6 on 4k BR without making a car payment
Good call. There was perfection in the original trilogy. The newest trilogy is just garbage when you remove the special effects. The prequel trilogy is garbage but at least had some good back stories. The newest trilogy just repeats the original trilogy. Terrible writing.
