Don’t most UHD titles come with a Blu Ray disc already?
Well that’s the thing …
If we’re talking a multi-disc release with the SE and unaltered on separate discs, do they include two more regular blu-rays? Even if they did, the price would be significantly higher. I could almost see them forgoing the “combo” approach and making you choose.
… Or, they keep it to just the most recent version remastered in 4k, leaving the OOT and the '97 version completely off the table, and debut it on both formats (regular and 4k blu) to go along with TFA and RO. Then they could include a regular blu (which would still look better than the 2011 discs) in the package as well. They could even put out the PT on the new format the same day. Being stuck in 2k hasn’t stopped all these other movies from reaching UHD.
Honestly, we’re getting ahead of ourselves until we know anything is happening at all this year.
I’d like to think they would finally do justice to the unaltereds this year. I just can’t see anyone caring about yet another release of the SE, even if there are more changes to sift through, even if it’s from a new 4k master you can watch at full res with hdr.
But a remastered OOT? People will put their money where their mouth has been all these years and buy it day one. A multi-disc package that doesn’t include regular 1080p versions might even sell a guy like me a UHD player just so I don’t have to double-dip later on.
Even if they only release it on regular blu, the people who’ve upgraded all their hardware to 4k will begrudgingly purchase it. Like I said, this would still piss those people off and Disney would be smart to let Fox put it out in 4k.
Who knows what the hell will happen. We’ll see.
