Overall though the basic contents sound great. 14 deleted scenes and a feature length making of along with loads of extras. And an audio commentary on the film with Rian and commentary on the deleted scenes.
I’m gonna have to buy a goddamn Blu ray player

I recommend a 4k player. Can play blu-rays as well, just a bit more expensive.

I’ve googled this and can’t find an answer but I don’t think my tv is compatible with either.
It’s got a scart Input and a hdmi input but that’s it.
Be a real pain to buy a 4K player and get it home to find I need a new tv also
*also my tv is only 720x1080 afaik so it probably is totally incompatible with either br or 4k

ABC and FOX (which includes their cable channels, such as ESPN, ABC Family, etc...) use 720p, while most other providers, such as PBS, NBC, CBS, CW, TNT, and most premium services, such as HBO, use 1080i.
Contrary to what many think you can use Blu-ray Disc player with a 720p TV. All Blu-ray disc players can be set to output 480p/720p/1080i/or 1080p via HDMI output connection.»

It’s beyond appalling. No surprises at all they aren’t announcing the female/POC directors and writers they’ve got lined up.
My big question is all these assholes said they were done with Star Wars after the last Jedi. Why still abusing and shit bombing the director?? Just get on with life.

There's a really good chance that ten years from now everyone will think TLJ is the linchpin of the Star Wars saga. Not that everyone will love the movie but I wonder if it won't be looked at as the most crucial part of the entire story.
The first two prequels have so much less to do with Anakin than I remembered. They really are far more Jedi stories (Qui Gonn and Obi-Wan). Actually, you could almost entirely cut Anakin from the first two films and they'd remain just as valuable and important to the overall narrative. Other than his accidental heroics in TPM and Palpatine's manipulations of him in AotC (which is admittedly a big fucking deal), he's kind of unnecessary, really.
I wonder how long it took George to convince himself that these were Anakin's stories.
My point being, TLJ really pulls all the old, dangling Jedi threads together in a fascinating way. The prequels are far more Jedi tales than the story of Anakin Skywalker. And TLJ does so much to finally bring all of it together and concentrate those vital themes.
