Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been released to a special 3D Collector’s Edition from Buena Vista Home Entertainment.
The 4-disc edition features the movie in 3D, which was previously unavailable on Blu-ray Disc, as well as 2D Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD copies all packaged in the collectible case seen above. Disney also added plenty of extra bonus material that hasn’t been seen before.
New bonus material in the Blu-ray 3D Collector’s Edition includes additional deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes conversations with cast and crew, and revealing, never-before released audio commentary from director J.J. Abrams.
The Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D Collector’s Edition sells for $29.99 from Amazon and Best Buy.
What we’re missing, still, is a 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray release of the film.
Here’s a breakdown of the bonus features:
