Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Readies Four Series (Two Star Wars And Two Marvel Studios) For Delivery As 4K Ultra HD Product Offerings On Apr. 30

On the heels of trade press news about Sony Pictures Home Entertainment taking over the physical media distribution of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment’s extensive film and series library, there was an announcement this past week that four of the studio’s streaming series will be heading to the 4K Ultra HD marketplace on Apr. 30.  

Note, all four series will be also available as Blu-ray collections on the same date.

This could — and we say “could” — signal May 1 as the launch date for this newly fashioned distribution agreement (details have been sketchy at best).

Note number two, all of these series have long-sense been targeted by the “Helper” community (aka: pirates, bootleggers) as Blu-ray product offerings for genre fans who likely grew weary of waiting for Disney to act (quality of same is suspect).

What’s in the release mix for 4K?    This would be two Star Wars series and two from Marvel Studios … so let’s get to it.

First is (and this is of course a subjective call) the limited series, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, which will be available as a double-disc set.

Bonus features include commentary by director Deborah Chow on the series finale, plus a trio of featurettes — “Duels of Fate: Obi-Wan vs. Vader,” “The Dark Times: Villains” and “Designing the Galaxy.”

Next is the three-disc presentation of Star Wars: Andor - The Complete First Season.

Bonus goodies here include the two-part featurettes “Ferrix Part 1: Imperial Occupation” and “Ferrix Part 2: Fight the Empire,” plus three additional production featurettes — “Aldhani: Rebel Heist,” “Coruscant: Whispers of Rebeillion” and “Narkina 5: One Way Out.”

Rounding out the 4K Ultra HD selections on Apr. 30 are The Falcon and The Winter Soldier: The Complete First Season and Moon Knight: The Complete First Season.
