Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be released on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray March 27, 2018, according to a press release issued recently by Lucasfilm Ltd and Walt Disney Studios. The movie is the eighth installment in the "Skywalker Saga" which is the triple-trilogy that began in 1977 with the release of Star Wars. It opened in theaters on December 15, 2017, keeping the #1 spot in the Weekly Box Office report for three weeks, and staying in the Top 10 until late-January. It was the top-grossing movie of 2017, according to the press release and other sources.

It follows the events of Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, where audiences met a scavenger girl named Rey as she becomes involved in the resistance efforts against the Empire version 2: The New Order. In this movie, she learns more about her origins, her abilities with the Force, and the resistance continues its struggle against the New Order as well as its very existence.

The saga concludes in 2019 with the release of Star Wars: Episode IX.
