Picked up my Target Exclusive earlier and gonna pick up the BB steelbook after work!

That's very good to hear. They had a shit ton of The Force Awakens steelbooks too, so it got discounted all the way to $10. I'm hoping we see some big discounts down the line on this one as well.

I noticed they put all of the old SBs back out as well, but not TFA for some reason.

Obi-Wanma

Those were limited (not super limited, but limited) and have all been clearanced out by now. They aren't making any more.

Same with Rogue One, but those were all gone within the week of release.

The Steelbooks of the original 6 movies are not limited in any way and are everywhere.

Target exclusive was sold out by lunchtime so I just got the 4K.

I picked up the 4K UHD from Best Buy and the Target exclusive. It was the last copy at my local store.

Bestbuy had plenty of the 4K UHD steelbooks. But, they were $7 more and I really have no interest in collecting those.

Because Amazon has made itself useless for Disney titles, I drove to Target for the BD. I saw an exclusive on the shelf but didn't figure I needed it. I thought about laying down the extra $5 in case I get a 4K TV someday but skipped it.

Grabbed the regular UHD version from Target. Might watch the digital version on a long plane ride tomorrow.

Got the BluRay/Digital Combo at Best Buy yesterday (They had a HUGE stand when you first walk it) as it felt like the early 00's when DVD ruled the world.

I posted it in the other thread, but I did not like the movie when I saw it in the theater. It was a different experience last night as I really enjoyed it on a 2nd viewing and look forward to watching it again.

The BD is supposed to include a way to watch a score only version via Movies Anywhere, correct?

I thought this was discussed in the streaming forum somewhere, but my search powers are failing.

I thought that was a digital exclusive.

Rian Johnson said it could be accessed through purchasing the Bluray as well. I forgot to check for it on Movies Anywhere yesterday. Will report back if someone else doesn't first.

E Unit

Digital only.

The score is available by signing up for Movies Anywhere, a free service that allows users to link their different accounts and bring all of their digital purchases under one account. Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, and others can all be combined for one destination.

E Unit

And I misread your post, but yes it’s viewable via MA. Just go into the movie then scroll down to Music & More.

Shooba

The score only version is directly accessible through the iTunes version as well, for those who don't use or don't have access to Movies Anywhere.

The Cow

Got it, I see it now. Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

Couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at this at Walmart and saw 5 different versions of this release: DVD, Blu-Ray + Digital, 2 different Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital releases both with Collectible Packaging (one completely shrink-wrapped, one with the slipcover on the outside), and the 4K + Blu-Ray + Digital. Surprised they didn't have steelbooks there too...

I was hoping the price for the complete saga on Blu-ray would have dropped this week though it is probably the best selling catalog title of all-time.

jjcool

According to https://www.the-numbers.com/alltime-bluray-sales-chart it is number 26, with the original trilogy being 24. By my count only Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy outrank it on the catalog side.

I agree that it was a missed opportunity to run a sale on the saga though.

JeffTheAlpaca

$74.99 is still too high for the Saga.

joltman

Interesting that since the Original Trilogy and Saga numbers are separate, if you combine them, the Original Trilogy would be #3 after just Frozen and Avatar. And that's not even counting those individual steelbooks.

From the official site, alternate Blu ray cover art using figures and LEGO.

Looking at the Movies Anywhere version, there's also a brief (as in two minutes) feature on Rose that's not on the discs.

The Target extra disc contains only a 6-minute feature on creating the porgs that's kind of cute (the most noteworthy part to me was seeing that there was indeed a little person inside of R2 for at least one scene--I thought they had entirely gone away from that in the prequels).

And purchasing the Bluray and redeeming the code does indeed give you access to the digital-only, score-only version.

GreenVulture

Did I overlook something here? I ordered the 4K edition from Amazon and I received a 2-disc set the past weekend: one is the 4K disc, the other is the feature disc on Blu-ray. There is no additional Blu-ray with the bonus features and the packaging is strictly a 2-disc affair. I spoke with a rep and showed them pics from blu-ray.com's review plus their own product listing which listed the special features (and the slipcover mentions the supplements on both the front and back). I was sent a replacement set today but it's the same deal, 2 discs instead of 3.

Spoke again with a rep and this time I arranged for a refund but am I in the wrong here or did Disney send Amazon some kind of stripped-down version?

EDIT: Nevermind, I am an idiot; for whatever reason, the second Blu-ray is literally right underneath the 4K disc, as in they're resting on the same hub. This is my first Disney 4K so I am not sure if that is the norm, but if it is, that is some cheap-ass packaging, Disney.

rjh_54

Yes, Disney's packaging is odd. For Blu-Rays (and apparently 4Ks) that have 3 or 4 discs they are stored in standard sized "two-disc" cases (with hubs on both sides) but the hubs are slightly taller so that you can stack the discs on top of each other, rather than the swinging tray in the middle.
