If you have been waiting for the original Star Wars movies to come out as a 4K set and don't mind the cost ($250) Best Buy expects to ship March 31:


 
In terms of the films included, the boxset will be comprised solely of the nine main entries in the Skywalker Saga – The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker – meaning Star Wars spin-offs Rogue One and Solo are not part of this collection.
At about $27/film, if you don't have any of them in UHD, I suppose it's not a bad deal.

However, if Disney+ is any indication, I wouldn't expect much in the way of HDR from the first 6 films.
 
Unfortunately Disney films are expensive. Evidently in preparation for the set they have just released 4K versions of The Force Awakens ($29.99, $39.99 on February 19) and Attack of the Clones ($39.99 since February 19), all on Amazon. So with all of the extras it is not a bad deal.
 
I picked up the set today, you get 2 discs per movie, a 4K UHD Blu-Ray and a regular Blu-Ray.

And for S&G's I have the iMac working on ripping the UHD version of The Force Awakens atm, on Big Sur, let's see if this works.
 
I just need Empire. Last Jedi released in 4K, and I have the Best Buy Steelbook, so I'm good there. Everything else I'm either ambivalent on (Sith, Rise), don't want the current version because it's horrible (looking at you, A New Hope and Return of the Jedi), or is terrible (Menace and Clones). Plus, there's Disney Plus.
