For physical media fans, streaming titles might just be the bane of their existence. While some TV shows and movies do receive Blu-ray releases, the majority don't, and that includes Lucasfilm's Star Wars offerings on Disney+.
However, that's finally changed as Disney has today announced plans for The Mandalorian season 1 and season 2 to hit Collector's Edition 4K UHD and Blu-ray. Those will feature Steelbook packaging, concept art cards, and some never-before-seen bonus features.
No special features have been announced, but both sets are currently a few months away from being released in stores. However, based on Loki's upcoming home entertainment debut, we can look forward to at least a few new deleted scenes and featurettes.
Star Wars The Mandalorian: The Complete First Season is heading our way on December 12, while Star Wars The Mandalorian: The Complete Second Season arrives the same day.
It's currently unclear whether the plan moving forward is for all of Disney+'s Star Wars streaming titles to be released in this manner.
There's been no mention of The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi today, and we'd bet the streamer will wait a good 2+ years between streaming debuts and subsequent physical media launches. The Mandalorian season 3 has to be a given down the line, though, right?
For some fans, the show's third season was a tad underwhelming; however, it was an important next step for Din Djarin and Grogu, with the stage ultimately set for the duo to get back to weekly adventures which aren't bogged down by the wider Star Wars mythos.
Here's hoping the prequel and original Star Wars trilogies eventually get SteelBook releases as well! For now, you can take a closer look at these releases below.
