    4k is going to be awesome - suggest anyone who doesn't have 4k to upgrade as it's most impressive......

    So lemmie get this straight, the only way I can get a Blu Ray/DVD combo would be to get the Best Buy steelbook edition, cuz it looks like the "Multscreen format" is only blu ray discs. So if I want a DVD and Blu Ray, Best Buy is it?

    (I'm Canadian and Target don't exist no mo up here)

    I can see the point, but this is the only Star Wars steelbook where I've liked the cover. In fact, I wish that they'd used this cover for the main release instead.

    Looking forward to adding it to my collection.

    Also, I find it interesting that the home release trailer outright spoil several things. I know the film has been out for a while and pretty much all of us have seen it but I think of those who haven't yet and see this trailer.

    The TFA Blu-ray trailer also spoiled things (Rey with a lightsaber, Luke). I think the reasoning is "people have seen the film, so let's put all the coolest things that have only been possible to see in the theaters up until now in the home-release trailer - it will make them more hyped to see it again". Or something like that.

    Yeah, the TFA one did spoil some things and that reasoning makes sense, but still, partially showing a couple of character deaths in this one (one undecided though) seem a bit excessive.

    I got a $50 gift card from Amazon for Christmas. I'm going to use that to get this so I don't have to give them any more of 'my' money.

    According to CDON, preliminary release date in Scandinavia is... *drumroll* April 16. [face_phbbbbt]

    Scandinavian covers (in spoiler tags, because huge):

    The steelbook one is really neat.

    Cool to see that there is a 3D + 2D option for Scandinavia.

    I hate how our local Disney distributor forces every single Disney movie to have separate 2D and 3D versions.

    Is the 3d Blu ray an international-only release right now? I didn't see it included in the US options. Or am I blind?

    That's my question. First, is it being released in the US, and second, will any of the international 3D versions play on US Blu Rays? I have a PS4, so I don't know if that makes a difference with region coding, or if any of that impacts things.

    There are listings online for the 3D version saying region free.

    I wonder how difficult it is for Disney to keep the default cover with a single character portrait on the Steelbooks. Why change it for TLJ?

    Just put a big picture of Luke, Snoke or Kylo, and there you go.

    Ugh, I hate it when they do that. I hope it will change, but I doubt there's much hope.

    At least the steelbook looks nice. It will make a fine addition to my collection!

    Make sure to get a TV that can do HDR. That's the REAL jaw dropper!

    You're a strange one. I bought Phantom Menace on VHS back in the day, but I have never bought any of the prequels on DVD or Bluray. I don't buy films I don't like, sounds simple enough, but why buy a film that you hate so vehemently? You can use that gift card to buy something else entirely.

    Yeah, as soon as I get the Blu-ray I've watching these scenes immediately. Then it's onto the other special features.

    Two reasons:

    1. I've only seen it once, and there are some things I need to go back and view again, and
    2. Mark Hamill, in spite of the material he was given, is still Mark Hamil.

    I plan to watch it all the way through one more time. After that? I may never pick it up again. It's $25 and not even my money.

    Do not try to justify how you hate TLJ so much that you found a way to not give money to Disney. That is just stealth bashing.
