A four-disc 3D version of The Force Awakens has been announced. It's being released at the end of October in some European territories, with a US release coming on November 15th.

The set has some new exclusive features, including a commentary track from director and co-writer J.J. Abrams and some new deleted scenes.

Additional features include:

- A look at how sound technicians blend action with audio effects in the featurette Foley: A Sonic Tale.

- Sounds of the Resistance, another audio themed doc showing how the sound designers blended real recordings into otherworldly effects in the film.

- Deleted Scenes – While there were a handful of deleted footage on the original Blu-ray, this one promises even more “never-before-shared” scenes.

- Dressing the Galaxy – A look at how wardrobe designs from the original trilogy were retooled by costume designer Michael Kaplan to fit the galaxy three decades later.

- Daisy Ridley and John Boyega share a conversation in The Scavenger and the Stormtrooper, a featurette that was released only on the previous disc as an exclusive at Target stores.

- Inside the Armory – A tour of the various weapons and battle gear in the battle between the Resistance and The First Order.

Sweet was waiting for the 3d version before I bought one.

 

[canoli2006]

Not sure I need the 3D version but very cool.

 

[Tom Nook]

Here comes the Double Dipping.

 

[SeanC]

Unless it's a new cut or something, I'm happy with what I have. Commentary is nice but not necessary and the box art isn't amazing enough for me to get it for that reason either. If 3D is your thang then go for it.

 

[mcfrank]

Can I buy just the commentary track? 3D can fuck directly off.

It's funny how we had loads of people complaining about not having a 3D release in the previous Blu-ray thread.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Can I buy just the commentary track? 3D can fuck directly off.

I'd prefer this as well + the deleted scenes. No interest in 3D.

 

[Lifejumper]

Shit.. I have to buy it again.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Disney:

 

[PeskyToaster]

eugh 3d

 

[entremet]

do they still make and sell 3d tvs?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Fuckyooooooo Disney! Thought it would take longer so I went ahead and got the first print.

 

[Sojgat]

Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm never changes.

 

[GitarooMan]

I want a 4K release at this point

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Waiting for the 4K uhd Blu Ray version to dip.
Hopefully they also release the theatrical cuts of the original trilogy next year for the 40th anniversary.

 

[awilliams213]

Here we go...that's fine I'll give my current Force Awakens blu-ray to a family friend.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Nice to see the Star Wars tradition of re-releasing versions of the films is extending to the new films as well. Excited for the next re-release with an exclusive first look at Episode 8 as well.

 

[golem]

Cool, I remember the 3d looking alright in the theaters, should be even better at home

 

[The Elite]

BOOM!

Finally.

 

[Lifejumper]

It will also include the 2D version right?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Finally!

I avoided purchasing the movie earlier for this release.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Don't have a 3D tv, so that's lame as fuck for it to have an exclusive commentary. Also, please get in the 4K bluray game, Disney. I'll pay whatever price you deem necessary.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Finally! I've been waiting for this version before picking up Force Awakens.

I hope it includes a digital copy too.

 

[Cross-Section]

It will also include the 2D version right?

At four discs included, I would assume that the 2D version is indeed in there

 

[btrboyev]

Never change hollywood/Disney/lucasfilm.

Keep getting that money.

 

[-griffy-]

Before people complain too much, just remember that they said a 3D release was coming later when the original Blu-ray was announced.

 

[adamantypants]

I wonder if they're pulling an Avatar Blu-ray release schedule. IIRC, Avatar had a TV/Blu-ray player exclusive disc, movie only disc, collectors disc with commentary, 3D disk, then finally an all encompassing 3D/commentary/standard disc, also maybe an extended cut? I can't remember.

 

[btrboyev]

Before people complain too much, just remember that they said a 3D release was coming later when the original Blu-ray was announced.

I'm not complaining that a 3D version is coming, it's all the shit they purposely left out of the first release to sell another Sku.

 

[Rodney McKay]

USA Today says it will have a digital copy included too. http://amp.usatoday.com/story/88524276/

Definitely going to pick this up, I didn't see it in 3D in theater and want to now my TV supports it.

 

[Slime]

Commentary?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

I have no interest in 3D, but I regret not waiting for this.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Commetary track is going to be JJ pointing out all the homages to the OG trilogy.

 

[Matticers]

Saw this in theaters in both 3D and 2D but even though the 3D didn't add that much, it'll still be nice to have this. And that cover will look sick if it's lenticular.

 

[Elitist1945]

Finally. Was waiting for 3D.

 

[GSG Flash]

Fucking finally, almost a year after the original release :/

 

[CreepingFear]

Will buy for commentary and added deleted scenes.

 

[Masterspeed]

Any word on a 4k version?

 

[JB1981]

The deleted scenes included in the original release were universally terrible, hopefully this edition has some of the cut material people actually wanted to see

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Yep. They got my double dip.

 

[JB1981]

Any word on a 4k version?

That will come next year in the Ultimate Collector's edition where they will unearth even more never before seen deleted scenes

 

[Einchy]

- Deleted Scenes – While there were a handful of deleted footage on the original Blu-ray, this one promises even more “never-before-shared” scenes.

I KNEW IT

THESE MODAFUCKAS

 

[-griffy-]

Any word on a 4k version?

40th Anniversary of the franchise next year would be an opportune time to do a big box set with 4K remasters of the OT and 4K release of Force Awakens and Rogue One and a 4K upscale (I guess?) of the PT.

 

[Space Runaway]

Fuck, finally. Will buy.

 

[Jason Frost]

40th Anniversary of the franchise next year would be an opportune time to do a big box set with 4K remasters of the OT and 4K release of Force Awakens and Rogue One and a 4K upscale (I guess?) of the PT.

On May the 4th.

 

[robotrock]

Unless it's a new cut or something, I'm happy with what I have.

I can't believe people actually want new cuts of Star Wars movies

 

[WadiumArcadium]

On May the 4th.

At 4 o'clock.

 

[LiK]

Motherfuckers

 

[SURGEdude]

Surprised we're still seeing 3D releases at all. It was an HD-DVD level flameout in home theater.

Hopefully the extras make it to the rest of us.

 

[Lord Morairty007]

Should have the dvd commentary in the first release.

 

[darscot]

Finally, too bad the release date is so far away. I hate this stupid shit, just let me give you my money.
