Disney and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive UHD SteelBook release for the classic 1977 film 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Disney has released Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope as part of its line of "Disney 100" UHD SteelBook re-releases. The front and rear
panels are smooth and predominantly silver, which is reflective and attractive. These areas will
show a little bit of fingerprinting. Center is a small, vertically oriented rectangular image featuring R2-D2 in front of a white background. Above,
center, is a debossed "Disney 100" logo. Below is the film's title, again with "Disney" accompaniment, but it is neither embossed nor
debossed. The rear panel is entirely silver with the exception of a small debossed red Rebel Alliance logo, centered. The spine is very cool. It, too, is
silver, with
the film's title center, a Disney Blu-ray logo at the top, and a Disney 100 logo at the bottom. The Disney 100 logo is also spaced throughout the length
of the spine in a light gray accent color.
Inside, the digital copy code floats; there are no tabs. The three discs, one UHD and two Blu-ray, are situated thusly: one on the left on its own hub and
two on the right in staggered-stacked formation, also on their own hub. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features a classic shot from the film
featuring the escape pod carrying C-3PO and R2-D2, along with the Death Star plans, to Tatooine.

There's a simplicity to the Disney 100 SteelBooks, and the basic design that has been, and will be, seen in the fuller line is on full display here. The packaging blends together the Disney 100 layout and some Star Wars specific elements that make this a very attractive, and very collectible, SteelBook. Highly recommended!
