Weird, had to check to make sure you’re right because that’s not what I remember, but yes it’s there (but only for the same reason it’s there in Avengers - the film was still distributed by Disney).
That’s certainly possible. Either way, anyone who doesn’t think Disney will start doing 4K releases of their own at some point is just fooling themselves.
Also my main point ended up being that it’s important to remember that Disney released the Phase One box set even though they only originally distributed one of those films, which is promising for SW.
Oh, I know Disney’s going to start releasing stuff on the format eventually. It’s just super annoying when all of the other major studios (even lionsgate) jumped on within only a few months and yet here we are almost a year later and probably looking at Rogue One being previous-gen format only. Hmmm, where have we seen that before with a Star Wars movie? Hint: I’m not talking about the GOUT, which was actually released several months after hddvd and blu-ray debuted.
Disney is always the last on board. They dragged their feet on DVD for the longest time, initially only licensing out a handful of live action films to Anchor Bay. And here we are in 2017, with some of the animated features still not on Blu Ray, and an appalling lack of anything else from the studios vast back catalog.
