Hi everyone, Bryan here…
‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story‘ is coming to Blu-ray on April 4th and on Digital HD on March 24th, which is just a week away. I’ve been looking forward to this for quite some time. With a DTS-HD MA 7.1 sound mix and some pretty solid looking extras, I’m betting this Blu-ray is going to get played at least a dozen times a week. Below is all the information you will need to prepare yourself for this release.
