The home release of TRoS will also feature footage detailing how the film’s desert scenes were shot, as well as the process behind creating Episode 9’s creatures and droids. A featurette exclusive to the digital version will explore the process behind the film’s score, orchestrated by legendary composer John Williams.
Specific details about the movie’s home release can be found over on StarWars.com. Currently, there is no word on when the film will release on Disney Plus, though a summer timeframe seems logical.
Considering Disney’s streaming service has been slowly regaining exclusivity rights to Disney films and television shows, it’s unlikely The Rise of Skywalker will release on other streaming platforms such as Netflix or Hulu.
Directed by J.J. Abrams, The Rise of Skywalker was a divisive conclusion to the storied Skywalker Saga. The film stars Daisey Ridley as Rey, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, John Boyega as Finn, and Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron.
The film released in theaters on December 20, 2019, and grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, splitting its total between both domestic and international audiences. Currently, it is is the 17th highest-grossing Disney film of all time, falling behind both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
