Disney+ in the UK will celebrate Star Wars day by adding The Rise Of Skywalker to the streaming service from May 4th. Well, here’s a surprise. Just last week, Disney released the disc editions of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, across DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra HD 4K Blu-ray too. A posh boxset was also released. But now, it’s announced that it’s bringing the final chapter of the Skywalker saga to the Disney+ streaming service in the UK, two months ahead of schedule. The film will be added to the service on Star Wars day, May 4th. The plan had originally been to add the film in July, but as you can see from the below trailer, there’s been something of a change of planb… We’d assume that the film will also be available in 4K on the service too. May the force be with you etc. — Thank you for visiting! If you’d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
