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.

Its True, the Hype, the Praise, All of It. Its All True.
(This is a review by my son, Matthew Corrigan)
Spoilers ahead…Be Warned :)…
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”
-Han Solo
That’s what many fans were saying as they shook their heads months before the release. Despite the positive reception of the trailers and the applauded casting and directing choices, many fans still doubted whether this new Star Wars adventure was going to live up to the hype set by the previous entries because, let’s face it, Star Wars is the greatest franchise of all time. Not only is it immensely successful, but nearly every movie has been critically praised, the story is considered timeless, and the franchise has developed a cult following so strong that Star Wars is as much a culture as it is a movie series, leading to even religions being formed based off of it. If you don’t believe me, google “Jedi Religion” and see what pops up.
That being said, “The Force Awakens” lives up to the hype and then some. With strong performances by the old as well as the new characters, beyond eye-catching visual effects, a classic story worthy of the franchise, and thousands of references to the previous movies, “The Force Awakens” bursts through the line that it was expected to meet and delivers in every cinematic promise that long-awaited sequels are heir to.
Best Scene:
There are dozens of fantastic scenes, and practically every scene in this film is magnificent. However, if I had to pick one scene that surpasses them all, it is Han Solo’s death scene (I told you there are spoilers). The writing and acting are both perfect, and the viewer can see the emotional complexities in the character’s expressions and the enriching dialogue. Even as Han Solo is stabbed, which could have been his doing, the viewer can see Han Solo being both forgiving and sympathetic to his lost son, who it is clear he loves, regardless of the circumstances. Chewie’s screaming as Han Solo falls to his death displays every viewer’s reaction: shocked, angry, and sad, all at once. It’s the perfect combination.
Best Line:
This was a hard one. The film is full of great lines, from light hearted jokes to forcefully tear-jerking ones (no pun intended). However this one, delivered by Han Solo on board the Millenium Falcon, takes the cake:
“I used to wonder about that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. A magical power holding together good and evil…the dark side and the light. Crazy thing is…it’s true. The Force. The Jedi. All of it. It’s all true.”
-Han Solo
Best Part About the Movie:
Harrison Ford. It’s always Harrison Ford. End of discussion.
Overall Impression:
Just in case I have not made this clear, this movie is as perfect as a film can get while still being charismatic and entertaining enough to enchant viewers young and old. I highly recommend it to everyone. Here’s to Star Wars:
“May the Force be with you, always.”
-Ben Kenobi, “A New Hope”

The Force is still strong!
I finally saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Blu-ray with all the Bonus Features. Did I enjoy the film? Yes, I did. Will I watch it again? I honestly don’t know…maybe I will because of the new Jedi, Rey, Hans Solo, Princess Leila, Chewbacca, C-3PO and some of the others from the original cast. Maybe even BB-8. I actually liked the little guy, though I knew he was created for the kids in the audience and to replace R2-D2 during the course of the film.
Did I mention that Spoilers would be in this review? Well, they are. Don’t read any further if you don’t want to be disappointed when viewing the film.
I will agree that that this movie was somewhat similar to the original Star Wars film from the seventies, which I saw at the theater. That didn’t bother me. I understood that after such a long time away from the Star Wars franchise that the new movie would have to include similarities as well as new folder for the viewers. In the Bonus Features, J.J. Abrams mentions this and the desire not to disappoint the original fans of the movie.
I also have to admit that my primary interest in the films have been the Light-saber battles between the Jedi and the Dark Side. I remember thinking after seeing the original Star Wars that Lucas has something going with the Light-sabers, but there simply weren’t enough of them in the final fight sequence. The film was more about the airplane battles and the Death Star. That changed with The Empire Strikes Back and the battle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader at the end. That was an epic battle sequence that left its impression on me till the third movie was finally released. It wasn’t until years later with the fourth film, a prequel, which I once again was blown away in the fight sequence between Darth Maul, Liam Neeson, and Ewan McGregor. That not only surprised me, but had me rooting for the Jedi. Of course, l loved Darth Maul and his stick Light-saber and the cartwheels he did during the fight. That’s about all I can tell you about the three prequels. I remember very little about them other than the fight scenes in the first one.
I had hoped that this new film, The Force Awakens, would have similar attributes, and it did to a certain degree; but, certainly not as much as I wanted.
Everyone should know the general theme of the movie by now. A new Jedi is about to arise to fight the resurgence of the Dark Side. The new Jedi isn’t who we expect. I gave it away at the start of this review so you already know who it is.
Yes, it’s the female scavenger, Rey, who turns out to have the Force inside of her and does battle with Ren, whose grandfather was Darth Vader. I won’t say more than that on this particular subject. Have to leave some surprises. Of course, the secret of who Rey actually is and who she was waiting for on the planet of Jakku is a mystery. I’m wondering if she was Hans and Leila’s daughter, though that was never mentioned.
For some reason I expected more from Ren, who was representing his grandfather in the film. I knew why Darth Vader wore his helmet. It was because of the wounds to his body and breathing regulator inside the helmet. There was no reason given for Ren wearing his own, rather unique-looking helmet, other than that he looked cool and definitely more powerful when in it. Without the helmet on, he appeared to be nothing more than a bratty teenager, which was displayed in his unexpected bursts of anger throughout the movie. Even without training in Light-saber fighting, there was no way I could see Rey not defeating him in the final battle. She was simply too tough of a person to give in to losing a fight. She was certainly tougher than Ren.
No, Hans Solo won’t be coming back. Not after what he experienced at the hands of Ren and then the long drop into the abyss.
Though it appeared that Jinn (the former Storm Trooper) or Oscar Isaac’s character of the cocky fighter pilot for the resistance might be the new Jedi, I knew it had to be Rey. That wasn’t just good guessing on my part. It was because her character was so strong and believed in justice and fairness that I had me drawn to her from the very beginning.
And, that made the ending even more special to me when she offers the original light saber that Obi-Wan Kenobi had possessed to the last Jedi alive from the past. I have to admit that the Jedi’s uniform was immaculate, which made me wonder where the local Dry Cleaner was located on the Island of the Jedi. Still, the scene gave me goose bumps. It said to me, “Here’s your Light-saber. Now, it’s time to kick some butt.”
Certainly, the Special Effects were awesome to see. Those alone will blow the minds of most fans. Everything looked real even though you knew they weren’t. The airplane battles in space were done to perfection, the creatures looked real, the locations were ideal, and the multitude of Storm Troopers appeared to be ready for battle.
During the last five months, this film has received an astronomical amount of positive and negative reviews. I doubt that will affect the filming of the next movie, and there will definitely be another one. The reason is that this movie alone grossed over two billion dollars at the Box Office. This movie may be the most expensive ever done, but now every tent-pole film will be trying to reach the two billion dollar mark when it comes out.
The Bonus Features are to die for. An Behind-the-Scenes look at the making of the film with over two hours of Special Features. This gives you a pretty good idea of why certain decisions were made and others weren’t. I’m not sure why Mark Hamill was given second billing under Harrison Ford when he is only the film for about one minute. I could see a “and Mark Hamill” at the end of the billing for the major characters, but not second. Maybe it had to do with clout and needing him in the film. I think the next film will probably justify it.
So, four or five stars for this review? I would say because of everything involved in the making of the film that five stars is the way to go. Some of the fans will love the movie, while others won’t. I believe every bit of the 250 million dollars can be seen up on the screen. And, there was no Jar Jar Binks in this movie. That alone is worth a 5-Star rating!

Great start for the new trilogy!!!
WOW!!! I have heard sentiments expressed from both ends of the spectrum on this one! Some hardcore Star Wars fans hating it saying let it go enough is enough !!!! Other hardcore Star Wars fans that are overjoyed that new life is being breathed into the franchise!!! There has always been a lot of controversy among the Hardcore fans the moment that the decision was made to change & add scene’s to give the franchise a more fluid continuity to it ! Personally if it takes you over 20 years to get your ideas onto film & you have the advantage to update the quality of your older films why not? Star Wars purest can always ask for faded prints of the originals. But if you think long term this is the right thing to do. I grew up watching the acts 4,5,&6 & had to wait for 1, 2, & 3. My kids Got to watch the series in chronological order & enjoyed it no less than me! After this new trilogy is completed new young viewers are going to benefit from seeing their hero’s age & new hero’s emerge! Star Wars makes money!!! Do you really think the franchise will just be abandoned? When I saw the 1st Star Wars movie back in the 70’s I was a huge Sword & Sorcery fan & that’s what I saw a sword & Sorcery movie set in a Sci-Fi Universe, but all the standard elements remained sword wielding knights ( Jedi’s) Princesses, deadly monsters ( Alien creatures) & magic ( Technology & the Force) & I loved it!!! I also enjoyed this new installment into the franchise, while I may not have liked some aspects & fate of some of the characters I do think that they stayed true to the franchise & just like in real life not everyone acts like you want them to making the storyline believable. When I do reviews I try not to give away spoilers so this review is not going to tell you details about this new installment of the franchise, only that it is so fast paced a second viewing might be helpful if you have any distractions while watching. They did a outstanding job working the old elements of the franchise into the film making for great continuity. Their is a nice variety of characters & the cinematography is beautiful, the acting is great & the conflict between Good & Evil continues. I am eagerly awaiting the next 2 movies of this new trilogy there is a lot of room for some fresh new hero’s to arise & the fate of some of the endearing original hero’s have not yet been told in what could grow into a franchise that may some day rival the James Bond franchise as far as number of movies it contains. who knows maybe some day this movie franchise may be enjoyed by people watching it in Martian Bio Domes. L.O.L. All in all keep in mind this is just a movie franchise not theism or politics… just entertainment!
