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.

~ Limited Steelbook Edition is “Phantastic”, 3D boxset is Black leather like slipcase, beautiful! ~
Having watched Episode VII in the theater back in December like everyone else for the most part, I really enjoyed the movie. I have been a long time fan ever since the beginning on May 25, 1977. Today, I bought the Limited Steelbook Edition from another retailer.
I found the packaging very well done and much like the recent steelbook editions for I – VI.
You get all the formats in one package, 1 DVD edition of the movie located on left side when you open it, 2 Blu-rays on right side. One is the film, the other is the Special Features or Bonus Features, then the digital download copy insert.
The Blu-ray looks fantastic on the Ultra 4K 55″! The sound is awesome at English 7.1 DTS HD, plus other languages at 5.1 DTS HD.
******** ALL STAR WARS BLURAYS PLAY 2160p if you have a 4K TV of any make and an UPSCALING 4K BLURAY PLAYER *********
NO NEED TO WAIT FOR A PHYSICAL 4K DISC OR PAY SEVERAL HUNDRED FOR A 4K PLAYER.
ALL VII are STUNNING !! (I have a Sony 3D 4K upscaling Bluray player, 2016 model, bought at about $90 at local retailer)
**The following may contain “spoilers” if you have not seen it by now **
It is basically 30 years after the Battle of Endor and remnants of the Old Empire have regrouped and formed “The First Order”.
Luke is in hiding and the “Resistance” is led by General Leia among others. A new “enemy” has emerged as well for the “Dark Side”, Kylo Ren, but he is no Sith, not yet anyway. Old favorites are back from the original series as well as the droids from all 6 prior movies. A new droid makes it’s appearance, BB-8 and is really a good character. “Rey”, a scavenger, may just yet find that she has “Force” abilities she may or may not be completely aware of until the very end.
There are familiar situations, etc. that “take you back” to the past, for certain. That didn’t bother me, really.
Hey, as long as I didn’t see JarJar Binks in this one, I am a much happier SW fan. lol
If you really want a nice package for your Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Movie, you really should get the Steelbook Edition and to compliment your other 6, if you have them.
I have attached the photos to my review below!
The back cover to the steelbook is a picture of Captain Phasma. Kylo Ren and his red lightsaber are on the front…
Inside is a battle scene of the Millenium Falcon flying and getting shot at from a pair of Tie Fighters.
** NOTE ** ALL Special Features in this set are on the BLU-RAY second disc, “Bonus Features”.
** There are NO Special Features on the DVD edition, just the movie itself with a decent menu.
** Special Features are described in the “Details section” for this movie here on Amazon. Loved them all.
** 3D version is exceptional!
** 3D VERSION ** since Amazon can’t separate the reviews for the standard/steelbook/3D packages of this movie, I have to add it to mine here already.
I love the 3D packaging, very nicely done. Black leather like slipcase. A worthy collector’s item certainly.
I have attached the photos of mine to this review. I love the slipcase and the feel of it, everything. Good to own this one.

The Force is strong with this one
Star Wars: Episode VII, easily one of, if not, the most anticipated film in my lifetime, and the crown jewel of the 2015 blockbusters. Like many fans, I had high, cautiously optimistic expectations. I was not disappointed. The same magic J.J. Abrams worked into 2009’s Star Trek by contemporizing the series with a “same-but-different” approach may have instigated controversy by being too derivative of the original trilogy, but revisiting the foundational story elements does serve a purpose in introducing the series to newer audiences, and so that the film can withstand on it’s own without relying heavily on its predecessors for context. And now, it on blu-ray.
Disney has done a very serviceable job with this initial release. Although not the 3D version, the video quality is pristine, very vivid and detailed, with perhaps the strongest and most varied palette in the saga. Details like the Jakku villagers’ clothing and skin textures on aliens like Maz look natural and defined. Like some other reviewers, I noticed some black crush (image aspects like faces seeming to fade into shadows) in some evening scenes, but it’s not terribly distracting. Overall, the kind of caliber expected from a modern release.
Although not Atmos, we get a perfectly robust DTS-HD 7.1 surround setup. Being a Star Wars film, there is plenty of action to go around. Blasters zipping, engines humming, ships flying, John Williams’ score and the dialogue are also evenly balanced and do not suffer from drown-outs.
Extras are very good for a standard release, although lacking a commentary, we do get “Secrets of ‘The Force Awakens’: A Cinematic Journey”, a four-part, hour-long, making-of documentary focusing on the most notable, new aspects of the Star Wars universe that this film introduces; such as the LucasFilm-Disney merger, developing the new characters, dramatic story choices, and the return of the original core cast. Several other featurettes running under 10 minutes focus specifically on their eponymous subjects: “Crafting Creatures,” “Building BB-8,” “Blueprint of a Battle: The Snow Fight,” “ILM: The Visual Magic of the Force,” and “John Williams: The Seventh Symphony.” The most fascinating out of all of these was “The Story Awakens: The Table Read” – Although running four minutes, it’s a moving retrospective of the first script reading in London, 2014; a moment J.J. Abrams and the cast and crew recognized as iconic in the franchise’s history. Fans may recognize the footage from a photograph of the table read that surfaced online a couple years ago. There is also a neat featurette called “Force for Change,” which even though has kind of an infomercial-quality, discusses some very noble charity work and initiatives the cast and crew supported leading up to the release of the film.
We also get several deleted scenes, most of them run under a minute and they’re not very interesting (mainly character beats), of note though are “Jakku Message”, which is an alternative introduction to Leia by her reaction to Poe’s disappearance, and it’s neat to see Carrie Fisher portray the “no-bull” aspect of Leia’s leadership quality. Also, “Snow Speeder Chase”, a chase scene with Finn and Rey on the surface of Starkiller Base that’s reminiscent of the speeder bike chase from Return of the Jedi.
As far as the DVD, both the image and sound quality are impeccable for standard definition and lossy fidelity, but there are absolutely no special features whatsoever.
Compared to most current releases, I really should rate this 4 stars, as I’m also not crazy about the packaging (stacked discs annoy me, but I can live with it). However, quality over quantity is a driving factor of this release. The film itself is a great new step forward in the franchise; it’s a properly-executed passing-of-the-torch to a new generation, but most importantly, a new beginning with opportunity for stories to head into a different direction.

FUN & ENTERTAINING = FORCE AWAKENS
For those that haven’t seen Force Awakens yet (Which rock have you been under?), no need to worry:
**NO MAJOR SPOILERS**
My Score
9.3/10
I initially rated this between 2-3 stars, but after watching a few times, it’s much better than I originally thought. I still think the plot was a rehash of New Hope, but that doesn’t automatically equal “ripoff”. The acting/actors was a HUGE step above the Prequels (we’re ANY of those roles cast correctly, especially Anakin?), and maybe even a bit better than the Original Trilogy. I loved pretty much everything about this movie, ESPECIALLY the lightsabers and Lightsaber battles (yes I realize there were some plot holes regarding the saber skill level of Rey, but I got over it. And who knows, maybe that will be explained in a future film?)
After watching Force Awakens numerous times now, I have really only 1 major gripe: WAY TOO MANY PLOT HOLES!!! Honestly, what the heck happened here!? Was nobody hired to make sure there was continuity? I remember the TV show, “Lost”, and they hired like 20 people who’s only job was to make sure EVERYTHING made sense and that one thing didn’t contradict another. That is NOT the case in Force. Example (and this isn’t so much a “plot hole” as much as a “why?”): So, in New Hope the rebels destroy the Death Star because of a flaw. Ok, makes perfect sense. Return of the Jedi, and the same thing happens: They rebuild the Death Star with yet ANOTHER major flaw that was exploited. Ok fine. Now Force Awakens: Why exactly did they build a 3rd Desth Star (yes I know it’s actually “Starkiller base”) with, wait for it… ANOTHER FATAL FLAW THAT CAN BE EXPLOITED WITH A FEW LASER SHOTS IN THE RIGHT PLACE!! So tell me… WHY does the Empire keep making the dumbest mistake when building a Super-Weapon that probably costs more money than the entire planet Earth has on it? It makes no sense at all!! Everytime, the little guy/Good guy figures out how to destroy it in the simplest of ways, yet the people who built them never figure it out until their dead. Who would spend that much time and money to build something like a Death Star or Starkiller Base, and NOT spend a little extra cash to hire a specialist to make sure there’s no major vulnerabilities? Seems a bit short sighted lol.
That kind of thing really annoys me, and it I feel it’s incredibly lazy film making. There were probably 15-20 times during the movie where I thought to myself “wait, that doesn’t make sense”, or “why would they do THAT when they could have easily just done THIS?”, or “Wow! Those are some dumb people”. Trust me, I am NOT the type of person who enjoys nit picking. Actually, I’m the complete opposite. Usually I’m the last one to figure out any plot holes. I always have to read about them and then say “Oh ya! How did I miss that!? That totally makes no sense!”. But when they are this obvious, it makes me a bit upset. I feel like the film makers/studios think I’m an idiot and that I won’t recognize the problems.
The other plot hole I’ll mention is in regards to Rey’s Jedi skill level. How is it Rey is pretty much a Jedi already without ANY training whatsoever? She’s a better Jedi now than Luke was at the end of Episode 6. Luke (who is/was the chosen one) took forever to learn to control his feelings and move things with his mind. Yet Rey is told “may the force be with you” and all of a sudden she can move things with her mind, resist Kylo’s mind reading AND turn it around on him to read HIS mind, uses the lightsaber as if she’s a Level 7-8 (out of 10) and beats Kylo (who also, for some weird reason, a 7/8 Lightsaber dueler), AND she can already use the verbal persuasion power. There’s nothing she can’t do, and yet she is on a pretty much identical life-course as Luke was in New Hope. Once Rey is told the Force is real, she tries using it in situations and succeeds lol. “Oh! I can use the Force to persuade people to do what I want? Awesome! I’ll just do THAT then when I get in trouble next. No need to ask a Jedi HOW to do it… I’ll just do it knowing absolutely JACK about the Force!” Lol. That’s really how it felt when she was learning her power. What I want to know is: What is left for Luke to teach Rey? I’m pretty sure Episode 8 will focus on Luke training Rey… So what does he need to cover with her? She’s already performed every trick we’ve seen Luke do in the Originals.
Quick Question/Observation
What’s the point of Storm troopers wearing their armor? Does anyone have a single instance where it looked like the armor saved them? Lol That’s yet another plot hole, but it’s not Abrams or Disney’s fault. George Lucas is the one who should have to explain that one haha.
CONCLUSION
At the end of the day, with all its faults and plot holes, the film still accomplishes what it’s supposed to do: I had a ton of FUN watching it, and it made me EXTREMELY excited for Episode 8. Also, it really did FEEL like I was watching Star Wars. It felt like a TRUE continuation of Episode 6. The Prequels NEVER felt like TRUE Star Wars. The amount of CGI used in Force Awakens was PERFECT and extremely well done. The 1st Millennium Falcon battle scene was jaw-dropping awesome! I highly recommend watching this film for everyone. Even my mother loved it! I had to force her to watch it because she’s never liked any Star Wars and really doesn’t like Science Fiction much. She was incredibly happy I made her watch. There’s something there for everyone, especially humor, which never overdoes it.
FINAL SCORE
9.3/10
