I still prefer the original Dolby Vision HDR - so I won't be getting rid of my original disc, but if I didn't own the one I had, I'd be more than happy with this presentation. The Dolby Vision presentation may offer some benefits, but this HDR10 disc is no slouch where it counts.
Say what you will about story, plot, and some of the character development - this is an amazingly shot film that looks incredible. Another beautiful moment is the soundless hyperdrive sequence against the pure black background as the ship breaks apart. My favorite sequence of the film is when the resistance is on the salt planet of Crait with the bright bold whites, deep dark shadows, and bold red reds - it's a gorgeous sequence and looks stunning here. While it may not enjoy the subtleties in shading and lighting that dynamic metadata has to offer, this HDR10 presentation has a lot to offer fans. As the film was shot on a combination of film and digital - there's a terrific film-like presentation to be enjoyed by both releases. Since the source is the same 4K digital intermediate - the detail presentation is identical. Once the current slate of The Last Jedi 4K discs are sold through, this release with a cohesive artwork scheme will go on the market.Īs a firm Dolby Vision supporter, I was a bit surprised to see that there really isn't a massive difference between this 4K UHD HDR10 presentation and the previously available Dolby Vision presentation. This release is currently unavailable and only found with the Skywalker Saga box set. Vital Disc Stats: The 4K Ultra HD Blu-rayĭisney delivers Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray once again in a three-disc 4K UHD Blu-ray + Blu-ray + Digital set. There wasn't a shepherd and it shows by the time the major plot holes are filled with The Rise of Skywalker. That said, this entire Sequel Trilogy needed a clearer vision for the entire three-film arc regardless of who directed each entry. He needed his own sandbox to play in rather than picking up the toys someone else left behind. Star Wars as a whole had become too comfortable and it needed some shaking up - but a middle entry in a new trilogy of the Skywalker Saga probably wasn't the best place to do that.Īfter burning through The Mandalorian - I feel Johnson's time with Star Wars would have been better suited with a side film that allowed him to explore some other worlds and characters. While I initially fell in the camp that liked what he did overall and celebrated this entry, I now fall somewhere in the middle with it. Looking back at the Sequel Trilogy now that it's complete, I can see how and why Rian Johnson - for better or worse - was left to his own devices with this film. As we've already done coverage for The Last Jedi - I'll refer you to that review.
