If you're a Star Wars fan, you already know that The Rise of the Skywalker is available for digital download and on BluRay as of March 31, 2020. In addition to seeing it in the theater a few times, we bought the digital download the day it was available. PLUS we were graciously sent a BluRay copy from the studio. (Thank you.)
The Rise of Skywalker is the FINAL movie in the Skywalker Saga. I still refuse to believe the story is over. The ninth and final episode in the Skywalker saga welcomed the return of original characters Luke Skywalker, General Leia Organa, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, Emperor Palpatine and Lando Calrissian, along with the latest generation of heroes and villains, including Rey, Finn, Poe, BB-8, Maz, Rose, General Hux and Kylo Ren. Newcomers include Jannah, a new ally of the Resistance; Allegiant General Pryde of the First Order; and smuggler Zorii Bliss. You can read our theatrical review here.
