This morning brings official information on the upcoming home entertainment release of The Rise of Skywalker including what bonus features to expect!

The final film in the Skywalker Saga is coming home next month. Disney announced the home entertainment release of the film this morning, letting eager Star Wars fans know exactly when they can begin their couch marathons/rewatches! The digital version of The Rise of Skywalker will arrive on March 17th, with the physical 4K UHD/blu-ray hitting on March 31st. 

Even better, the bonus features will also have a feature-length making of documentary to enjoy as well. Curiously, though, there’s no mention of deleted scenes: 

Bonus material includes a feature-length, making-of documentary, which goes behind the scenes with the cast and filmmakers from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and explores the legacy of the Skywalker saga. Bonus features also dig into the film’s Pasaana desert scenes, including the thrilling landspeeder chase, and the ship in which Rey discovers family secrets as well as a new little droid named D-O. Plus, fans will hear from Warwick Davis, who reprises his role as Wicket the Ewok, as well as the creature effects team that created a record 584 creatures and droids for the film. Digital consumers will receive an exclusive feature highlighting legendary composer John Williams, who has scored every episode in the Skywalker saga.
