Plus, what happens when Lucas decides to re-re-re-re-edit the first three films to make Jabba a powerful girl boss, or to replace all the lightsabers with walkie-talkies, or any other unnecessary stuff? If we only have a digital copy in a locker and they decide to change the film, we don't have an option to de-specialize those changes do we?

Another thing to consider is the equipment you're using. A $300 55in LCD from Wal-Mart isn't going to hold a candle to a $1500 55in OLED. In the case of budget equipment, 4K streaming isn't going to look much worse than a 4K disc, but that's because of the equipment being used.
AQ on the other hand is a major downgrade, it's not even close!
I agree that your equipment/setup plays a significant role with this.
Like your display example, some fancy Atmos soundbar does not give you anything close to what Atmos is capable of.
To be fair it's not designed to, it's just simulated.
Which is not true unless your internet is bad or you are using a bad streaming device.
But you'll never convince them otherwise. Which is fine.
Well. unless you're using a soundbar but that's a whole different topic!

DVDs generally top out at 448kbps and Netflix uses 640kbps DD+, so in this case Netflix is actually better both in terms of sound quality and supporting more than 5.1 surround. Now are any streaming services using uncompressed Dolby TrueHD? No, of course not, but I would argue most people don't have the equipment to tell a difference; so I do agree that sound is highly dependent on equipment utilized.
I'd rather watch a pile of "didn't quite work out" be interesting ideas over wooden acting against green screens and Jar Jar Binks any day..

I'm not aware of them having a paid streaming platform you can buy content.
He is right and wrong. Right with the fact that the disc is of a much better quality than streaming. The bitrate leap is gigantic on disk. The audio is where I notice it the most however with channel separation and dynamic range much much better. But for a ;quick watch on a laptop, streaming is quite good and easy to use.
So that's something to consider.
