Disney+ launched in the US this morning and will exclusively boast every single Star Wars movie to date, according to Business Insider. Not only will the whole back catalogue be available, they’ve all been remastered in 4K with Dolby Vision and Atmos support, Engadget report. This marks the first time the original trilogy and prequels have been been released in 4K.

This might still happen, but until then they’re exclusive to Disney+.
It’s huge news for several of the films which have never been available in 4K, although The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story are already on in 4K on Blu-ray.
