The Force Awakens TFA Out On Blu-Ray April 5th, 2016

[CapedCrusader14]

I think I'll just watch the deleted scenes online.

 

[TheVileOne]

Really disappointed they pulled this, but oh well.

Is there anything you can do if you don't have a 3D TV for the audio commentary?

 

[spiderman2]

I don't tend to buy thing I already have again in less there are new special features but even then I don't want to spend to much and I don't have a 3d tv. Is the comiantray only going to be on the 3d disk? Or is it going to be on the 2d disk? What about the other new stuff? Why no news about the movie in 4k?

 

[Thundercrack85]

I'm holding out for a complete set with all 9 movies, with a theatrical cut for the first three. Sometime in 2030.

The commentary will be on the 2D disc.

 

[Filmfan93]

I don't have a 3D TV (and I already own it on Blu-ray), but the cover for this is simply stunning. Hope the deleted scenes leak as I really want to see them.

I am wondering how many editions the new episodes will have by the time IX hits Blu-Ray?

 

[Serpico Jones]

The commentary will be on the 2D disc.

That was confirmed?

 

[Marvolo]

That was confirmed?

No audio commentary on any blu-ray has ever been exclusive to a 3D disc. It's always on the 2D disc. They leave special features off 3D discs because the 3D film takes up a lot of data space and because special features aren't shot or produced in 3D.

 

[Marvolo]

Amazon has it up for preorder now:

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-VII-The-Force-Awakens-3D-Blu-ray/dp/B01JURU6WU?SubscriptionId=AKIAIY4YSQJMFDJATNBA&tag=bluray-032-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01JURU6WU&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

The price will fluctuate between now and the release date, but if you preorder it and the price drops between now and release your preorder price will automatically change to the lower price and if the price goes up you'll be locked into the lower price.

Higher res pic of the packaging:

The U.S. release includes a DVD copy of the film. The UK release does not

 

[Solidus]

I love that cover. Reminds me of this:

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yep, it invokes the original Star Wars poster, just like that RotJ poster. Love it.

 

[Bim]

I feel so happy i didnt buy the previous version, cause there's no way i was going to double dip for TFA. I held off on it after seeing the lame bonus features, so this works for me, yay!

 

[Solidus]

Actually all of it's Bonus Features were incredible, not as many as I would have liked but superb documentaries. This has more for sure. But I'm sure we will get more editions we will all buy in the future.

Don't know why you're so disappointed. Should've known it was coming. You didn't have to buy the previous release. You could've waited.

The audio commentary and special features will be on the 2d discs.

No audio commentary on any blu-ray has ever been exclusive to a 3D disc. It's always on the 2D disc. They leave special features off 3D discs because a 3D film takes up a lot of data space and because special features aren't shot or produced in 3D.

So no need to worry. Youll be able to enjoy all the special features with a 2D tv.

 

[Kyle]

Can't wait! Been waiting a very long time for this! Feels like Christmas is coming early just hearing wait for it is almost over.

They didnt feel like much to me, to be honest. I was hoping for more in depth stuff, and yeah, longer documentaries lol. I'm just buying this version, so if they release a third one with more stuff, i honestly doubt i'll get it. I have the vhs se of the ot, the dvd for the pt and ot and the blu ray boxset. I dont cave in as easily to buying multiple versions, surprisingly enough lol

[DarthSkywalker]

Inside the Armory is the feature I am most excited to see.

 

[Serpico Jones]

Some interesting comments from JJ Abrams' commentary track that I've found online:

-Kylo Ren has never met Rey before TFA but has heard of her.

-Han and Leia had never met Rey before the movie.

-There's an unreleased deleted scene that features Hux dragging an injured Kylo Ren before Snoke before the movie ends.

that's interesting. but it doesn't totally disprove the "Rey is Luke's daughter" theory. It's entirely possible Luke had a daughter that none of the Solos ( Han, Leia, and Ben/Kylo ) were aware of.

it could also still be misdirection on the part of Abrams.

of course, it's also entirely possible that Rey isn't a Skywalker after all and she really is some new unrelated character.

so, who knows. guess we'll have to wait till next year.

 

[Marvolo]

Hell, Luke could have a daughter that even he isn't aware of. He wouldn't be the first man to have a child and not know about it. That could create quite the reveal if both Luke and Rey find out at the same time that they are father and daughter. It could be a powerful poignant moment.

 

[Brother Jack]

It's still possible, but because of this and some other things I'm moving away from Rey being Luke's. It's becoming more likely to me that her parents are not noteworthy, and if they are they're people we haven't seen yet.

 

[Serpico Jones]

The fact that Ren has heard of her tells me her parents were people of some significance.

What other things? Notice he never mentions Luke not knowing her? I have been following this closely, and nothing points away from Luke being her father.

They didn't hide Rey's lineage, made a big deal about it, because she isn't of the Skywalker blood. They have also went out of their way to hide Luke's activities during these years, and one of his followers was on the same planet as Rey.
