The Star Wars The Force Awakens Blu-ray combo gives you Episode VII three ways: the film on Blu-ray, a dedicated Blu-ray disc of bonus features, and a DVD copy for any other player in the house. It is the Lucasfilm release that launched the sequel trilogy, and it set US first-week sales records on both Blu-ray and DVD.
This is a brand-new copy of the April 2016 Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment release. It plays in standard US Blu-ray and DVD players.
The Blu-ray presents the film in 1080p at its 2.40:1 theatrical widescreen ratio, with an English DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 soundtrack. If you have a surround system, this is the track to hear John Williams' score and the TIE fighter dogfights the way they were mixed for cinemas. French and Spanish 5.1 tracks and an English descriptive audio track are also included, with English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles.
The DVD has the same widescreen framing with English, French and Spanish 5.1 audio, which makes it handy for a kids' room or a car player.
Three decades after Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker has vanished and the First Order has risen from the remains of the Empire. A desert scavenger named Rey (Daisy Ridley) and a stormtrooper who walks away from the fight, Finn (John Boyega), are pulled into the search for Luke, alongside Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Chewbacca and Leia (Carrie Fisher). Adam Driver's Kylo Ren gives the saga its most conflicted villain yet. J.J. Abrams directs.
The film became the highest-grossing release of all time at the US and Canadian box office and earned five Academy Award nominations, including Best Original Score and Best Visual Effects.
All extras are on the Blu-ray bonus disc. The centerpiece is a feature-length documentary:
There is no audio commentary on this release, and the DVD contains the film only.
No. This is the standard 2D Blu-ray combo. The 3D Blu-ray was a separate collector's release later in 2016. If you are choosing between formats, our DVD vs Blu-ray guide explains what the upgrade in picture and sound really means.
Pair The Force Awakens Blu-ray with the original six films in Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray, and see everything we stock on our Star Wars Blu-ray and DVD page. More space adventures are waiting in our sci-fi collection.

The Perfect Comeback
I like this movie. I don’t love it, but I don’t need to. The Force Awakens wasn’t really meant for someone like me.
Let me explain by starting with who I am in regard to Star Wars. One of my first conscious memories is watching The Empire Strikes Back in the theater during its 1982 re-release. I’ve seen the original trilogy’s entries dozens of times. I know all the lines. I know all the sound effects. I can recite the script and every sound effect to John Williams’ score. I have a lot of action figures. I know the names of most characters, ships and locations. I’m a Star Wars nerd. I got it bad.
Star Wars is our modern mythology. Mine, anyway. It defined my childhood, present — and future. Back in 1983, media buzz was that George Lucas ascended from the franchise, waiting “15 years” for technology to catch up, before his second coming would deliver new chapters. And Lo, Lucas returned, beginning with the trilogy’s Special Edition.
I was a hopeless, late-teens fanboy. Yet all the extra stuff, all the changes to the story and dialogue and pacing, all the bigger and brighter computer-driven special effects . . . something was wrong. But what? I got my answer in 1999, when the opening prequel film released — the first Star Wars feature for which George Lucas had the first and final words on everything, and all the resources in the world. I don’t know how else to describe it other than the opera scene in Citizen Kane: the camera pans upward from Dorothy Comingore’s very un-operatic character to a couple of stagehands, one who holds fingers to his nose. Not even unlimited power can make a stinker not a stinker.
I gave up after Episode I. By the time 2005’s Revenge of the Sith got churned out, movie-goers returned in smaller and smaller numbers — so did consumers and retailers. “New Star Wars movie” meant bad acting and indulgent CGI. The only people paying attention for longer than a matinee showing were people who would take Star Wars however they could get it. Star Wars wasn’t a factor in entertainment or culture any longer.
That’s why The Force Awakens isn’t for nerds like me. It’s for every other person in the theater who hasn’t seriously paid attention to Star Wars for 20 years. Or who never has seen Star Wars. They don’t mind if the movie is so derivative that it pays homage to its own series, because they connect with characters and have emotional investment in the story being told. If every Disney movie is like The Force Awakens, that might be problem — but Disney had to convince the world that Star Wars was worth watching again, first. That meant going back to, and repeating, the basics.
It worked. Enjoy The Force Awakens for what it is. And if you can’t, be happy for the many, many others around you who can.
