Disney quietly dropped Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker onto digital home video a bit early.

It became available late Friday, March 13, when it was supposed to be released Tuesday, March 17. Skywalker will be available for rental and on DVD, 4K and Blu-ray on March 31 (if not sooner, given the shifting schedule). The original trilogy and prequels will also be released on 4K Blu-ray on the same date.
