Arguably, there's almost no question that Gareth Edwards's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story delivered something pretty cool back in December as a one-off from the Star Wars canon, telling of a story of ragtag rebels who set out to influence the major battle ahead for the Rebel Alliance against the Empire. Indeed, more can be expected in the forthcoming book installation, Inferno Squad, which hits shelves this July while we await the story to be told of one of the saga's biggest and most pivotal figures in next year's Han Solo spin-off film from directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
In the meantime, the official Star Wars website has offered any and all you need to know regarding the respective and exclusive commercial releases of Edwards's movie on Digital HD, DVD and Blu-Ray. Hit the press release below and feel free to pre-order the movie at Amazon as well!
