I imagine there would be a physical media release eventually?

I reserve physical media purchases for things I’ve already seen and know I like, or perhaps something I feel I’m extremely likely to enjoy. I don’t have enough faith in any franchise beginning with “Star” at this point to blind-buy media.

Do you blind buy any media though? Not many do.

I used to quite frequently after I gave up on theaters (too expensive, crowded, and noisy) and stopped caring about being current, but once 4K became more prevalent, I pretty much stopped buying Blu-rays because I don’t have a 4K display yet and didn’t want to waste money on old media I’d probably replace (or jump into 4K early and end up replacing those because early releases on DVD and Blu-ray were often shit).

I’ve found 1080p streaming, while not as good as Blu-ray, to be adequate in the meantime, especially since I watch more TV than movies these days and care a bit less about A/V quality for TV shows.
