SOLO: A Star Wars Story is now available on Digital HD and arrives on Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™, DVD and On-Demand starting tomorrow, September 25th. I was lucky enough to receive an early copy of the Blu-ray and really enjoyed all of the deleted scenes and bonus material included in a separate second disc with the movie. I’ve even included links to some of those scenes later on in the article!
I really enjoyed SOLO: A Star Wars Story when it came out in theaters and I was excited to relive all of the action again at home. As a Star Wars fan (and also married to a Star Wars nerd) I was excited to see the untold back story of Han Solo, one of my favorite characters. The movie in my opinion does not disappoint in delivering strong character backgrounds and exciting plot twists. But being able to see how those characters are brought to life might be even more enjoyable.
“Solo: A Star Wars Story” bonus content takes fans behind the scenes to experience compelling discussions with the star-studded cast and screenwriters Jonathan Kasdan & Lawrence Kasdan (writer of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi); a revealing feature on Chewie and his enduring friendship with Han; a close-up look at the original version of the Millennium Falcon and Han’s first time piloting the infamous ship; the creation of the film’s otherworldly settings and pulse-pounding action sequences; and eight never-before-seen deleted and extended scenes.
