The cover goes over the case. It's one package.

Maz Kanata

told you it was dumb

OldBoy

i might actually opt for the regular release than the SteelBook™. can't believe i am saying this, but i am getting tired of these SteelBook™. now, i did say might, but i am seriously considering it...

Breakdown on the deleted scenes.

http://www.comingsoon.net/dvd/traile...-been#/slide/1

The Force Awakens deleted scenes on the disc will include:

• Stormtrooper Finn’s run-in with a Jakku village woman in the opening attack.
• Han, Finn, and Chewie face down a squadron of stormtroopers in Maz Kanata’s basement.
• Kylo Ren leads snowtroopers to the crashed Millennium Falcon at Starkiller Base, and has an emotional remembrance inside.
• General Leia is introduced earlier in the film, as Major Brance (Emun Elliott) gets a distress signal from BB-8 informing them of the attack on the Jakku village.
• Poe Dameron and the other X-Wings prepare for lightspeed as they head into battle, giving us a chance to see starships in space.
• Finn and Rey escape Starkiller base on a First Order snowspeeder, while another gives chase.
• Rey gets an update on an injured Finn’s condition from Dr. Kalonia (Harriet Walton).

Why So Blu?

In terms of the tech-specs - it's not demo all the way through - the audio portion is not reference.

i'm just glad we are getting a good amount of extras in this release. that over hour doc sounds great...

Throwing Copper

Hoping it's good. Granted, I'd buy a bare bones release. I just really enjoyed the movie.

Decker

Directed by Laurent Bouzereau? Fuck yeah. His stuff is fantastic -- even his Making-of documentary about 1941 was entertaining.

Weird that the digital copy of this film, of all films didn't come out early when just about every movie has a digital-exclusive purchase window of a few weeks prior to BR release.

OldBoy

Hey, April 1 is nothing to sniff at

TomOpus

I thought you were all about giving up on physical media and falling in love with Vudu?

hanshotfirst1138

If he's buying physical media, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Just be thankful.

OldBoy

this is Star Wars though!! i'll have the digital copy and will probably watch on subsequent viewings, but c'mon i have to hold this and nurture it...

TomOpus

He was making such a big deal about getting away from physical. That would be like my vegan friend who has a burger because "but, it's In N Out." Hey, if someone wants to do both, by all means go with it. But trying to convince others of the virtues of Vudu and not putting their money where their mouth is, is a tad hypocritical.

Anyway, Happy Easter

OldBoy

i never pushed/convinced my views on anyone. i just said i loved Vudu all of a sudden. i didn't say i was quitting cold turkey buying physical media, ever! i think you totally misread any of my posts about the subject...

hanshotfirst1138

I think he was just ragging on you.

Well, according to those specs, it looks like the read through is a 4 minute piece, which is disappointing.

clappj

I can't remember where, but I read somewhere that particular deleted scene will only be available online or to download. Very odd!

I wonder if it was a true read-through or more a marketing thing, having the whole cast together. It was a cool photo that got released and sure got nerd boners popping.

hdnmickey

According to the articles I have read, It was a full read through. Since Hammill didn't have any lines they had him read the stage directions.

OldBoy

that full read through would have been awesome!

E Unit

Probably would have been 3-5 hours of hey recorded the whole thing. I doubt they read straight through it and not stopped at places from time to time. 4 minutes is good, I'm sure it'll have some good stuff.

Or maybe they'll have the whole thing on the upcoming 3D release. Wouldn't that be comical.

TomOpus

Hopefully some of that made it to the 4-min doc.
