Star Wars: The Last Jedi Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Sometimes the technology of 4K can be problematic with special effects especially in older films but that is not the case here. The 2160p resolution of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is fantastic, especially when viewing the final fight scene.
