Another beautiful Ghibli animation with an ok plot

Once again Studio Ghibli delivers another great film with their amazing animation and lighthearted story telling. Out of all of their movies I've seen, I'd say this probably looks the best. There's plenty of scenes that provide a variety of themes and details. A few bits also included a mix of 3D to assist the animation which came out surprisingly well. The only thing about the movie that suffers is the plot. While it's easy to stay interested in what's happening, a number of things seem to happen without clear explanation. While watching, it left me generally confused as to why or what things were happening, and I still feel confused afterwards. Despite this problem, I feel my time watching this was well spent. For anyone who is a fan of Ghibli movies or just simply interested, I think they'll be satisfied!

I'm just going to avoid a movie review because that can be gotten anywhere. The real reason why anyone is here is because this is a steelbook release.
You get a steel case of the movie with its beautiful cover art. Front side being the protagonist and the back side with a reflecting antagonist version. The printing uses a glossy layer which helps prevent any noticeable scratches of the paint. The inside also has a neat shot of the speeders from the battle of Crait. Over that is the disc holders with space above each other so they don't touch. The content includes a blu-ray version of the movie, a 4k blu-ray version, a HD digital copy, and a blu-ray bonus disc.
I think anyone with an interest in this steelbook with be satisfied with it!
