On April 30, Disney Home Entertainment will release on physical media two more of its Star Wars streaming series.
“Star Wars: Andor — The Complete First Season,” and “Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi — The Complete Series,” will be released individually on 4K UHD and Blu-ray in collectible packaging.
The news comes after Disney announced plans in February to offload its manufacturing, distribution and marketing of physical media to Sony Pictures Entertainment. Though disc sales have steadily declined industry-wide year by year, the overlap between collectors of 4k and Blu-ray discs and fans of fantasy, sci-fi and superhero genres remains significant. It’s this demographic Disney Home Entertainment is targeting, with new box art, concept art cards and steelbook packaging for these titles.
Neither “Andor” nor “Obi-Wan Kenobi” include deleted material, but they will include a series of featurettes explore the world-building of the former, while a director’s commentary by Deborah Chow caps off making-of materials on the latter.
These titles mark Disney Home Entertainment’s second series of collectors editions, after the 2023 release of seasons one and two of “The Mandalorian.” Both are currently available on the studio’s streaming service, Disney+, but given that future seasons or follow-ups aren’t due for a while (“Andor: Season 2” premieres in 2025, and “The Mandalorian” will next be seen on the big screen) or not at all (“Obi-Wan Kenobi”), the sets and their extras are meant to provide their fans with a stopgap to tide them over.
