Releasing on November 15, 2016, which is about a month before Rogue One heads to cinemas, it includes not just the 3D Blu-ray, but the film in 2D as well, on Blu-ray. Also included are the DVD and Digital editions. It’s hard to imagine someone that hasn’t bought the movie yet, but I’m sure there are folks that are waiting for the eventual sequel trilogy box set, or the Skywalker Family edition that could eventually see release.
To add a little more incentive to double (or triple) dipping on this film, they’re also adding a large list of new features to this release:
- Audio Commentary with J.J. Abrams – Enter the mind of visionary director J.J. Abrams as he reveals the creative and complex choices made while developing the first film in the new Star Wars trilogy.
- Foley: A Sonic Tale – Foley artists, consisting of old pros and new talent, unite to bring the world of Star Wars: The Force Awakens alive through the matching of sound to action.
- Sounds of the Resistance – Hear how the epic sound design of Star Wars: The Force Awakens moves the Star Wars legacy forward.
- Deleted Scenes – View never-before-shared scenes that didn’t make the film’s final cut.
- Dressing the Galaxy – Costume Designer Michael Kaplan reveals how the costumes of the original Star Wars movies were re-envisioned for a new generation.
- The Scavenger and the Stormtrooper: A Conversation with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega – The two new stars share the thrill of working together on the adventure of a lifetime and becoming part of the Star Wars legacy.
- Inside the Armory – Take a fascinating tour through the design and creation of the weaponry in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
- Classic Bonus Features – These offerings from the April release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, include the complete story behind the making of the film, an unforgettable cast table read, insights from legendary composer John Williams and deleted scenes, as well as features that dig deeper into the creation of new characters such as BB-8, the design of the climactic lightsaber battle between Rey and Kylo Ren, the film’s remarkable digital artistry and the Star Wars: Force for Change global aid initiative.
Still missing from the features list are the excellent trailers and the Star Wars Celebration Reel that really kicked off the excitement for the film in a way that I’ll never forget.
