Williams' music is brilliant in that scene as well. Just listening to the part where Kylo impales Han gives me chills.

I'm not loving any of these as covers, though the BB-8 one looks the best so far.

The only reason I really like the Kylo cover is that it bears some resemblance to the pre-existing steelbooks and I like continuity. The BB-8 cover just feels wrong, where's Daisy, Adam, the actors being represented that actually carried the film. Rey should at least be on one of them.

It looks like these are the bonus features. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=196634801&postcount=5737
Sorry, I saw that, that was my response to it. I want MORE. I'm selfish.
Maybe they'll add up, but it looks about par for the course relative to the prequel DVD releases. (which were mostly okay, just skimpy compared to the monstrous LOTR releases)

You know they're going to sit on 'special features' for the eventual special edition rerelease once Episode VIII comes out

I can't see us ever getting that much unfortunately. No commentary's a bit disappointing. I expect the sequel trilogy box set will be a bit more substantial , though not by much.
It's cool that they have them match up. I've got the two separate Blu-Ray trilogies because I'm not a fan of cardboard packaging regardless of how nice of how many bonuses it comes with, and don't like steelbooks as they stick up in my collection.
I do wish they would move "The Force Awakens" from the middle of Star Wars like that now though, it was nice to be different and all but with physical media it isn't matching their previous releases.
Personally I would prefer the poster front, normal Star Wars logo, subtitle underneath and the episode number like all the other films use in their releases.
So are things actually pointing to no commentary track at all? How hard is it to sit JJ on his ass for two hours and talk about the damn movie? Hell, just put John and Daisy in a room, or some random crew members, I don't care. Something. Maybe some folks are more knowledgeable than I am, but commentary tracks always struck me as the easiest bonus features to put together. All it takes is two hours and a microphone.

Well no commentaries are mentioned in that Swedish website's write up but there's no real confirmation yet.

And it'll be called "The Beginning, Part II"
Looks like Target put up a page for their exclusive version. Mentions 4/5/16 release date again like Amazon did before. Guessing some sort of official announcement today?
From their description "Only at Target: Collectible packaging, plus 20 minutes of exclusive bonus content, including a never-before-seen interview with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, and a deeper look at the movie’s weaponry."

The Kylo Ren steelbook is plain as fuck yet apparently will still be the best one because of it. That Target one is horrendous.

So that Amazon "leak" on the Blu Ray release date back in January was right on the money. Still was hoping it might get bumped up to March, but only about a month from now isn't too bad.

That makes more sense.
Now is the time to decide on which bluray package to get. I'm leaning Target.
No reason to buy the digital copy separately if the bluray is only dropping a few days later.
Edit: Actually, the basic packaging is more appealing than any of the special packaging currently leaked.

Someone actually managed to top the hideous Matrix Revolutions cover?
Good, I was worried I was gonna have to compulsively get the digital just so I could watch it before the Blu-ray comes out, which would have been stupid because Disney's Blu-ray releases are awesome in that they give you the movie digitally on virtually every service anyways. I think I can hold out 4 extra days.

Every film I love needs the Blade Runner Collector's Edition blu-ray treatment. Every cut of the film, multiple commentaries, a 3 hour making-of doc on top of hours of featurettes and production art and screen tests. I'd never see daylight again if even half the films in my collection had this kind of package.
^ that looks really nice. I was kinda hoping for something like the OST album cover. Reminds me of the original Star Wars vinyl.Now is the time to decide on which bluray package to get. I'm leaning Target.

Does Target have a preorder bonus?

Awesome. Way better than the one below your post..
This is bad enough to make me consider getting digital lol
From the community OT
Someone did a fan-made mock up of a steelbook
(The back kinda looks eh though)

WOW. Makes you realize how safe and unoriginal the covers we currently have are..
Why not make something special? It's not like people aren't going to buy it for looking cooler..
haha, matrix revolutions came to mind for me as well! fuck =/
also, apparently this is the steelbook:
It's like... kinda consistent with the other steelbooks? but not really?
get your shit together steelbook design people
in either case...

Yes, Disney's digital copies cover Google Play, iTunes, Xbox Video, Amazon Video and Vudu.
They had a $5 Gift Card with the regular edition but I don't see it on the page for their exclusive edition, so not sure if they'll add it to that

Love how everyone has something in front of them except for BB-8 who's just chillin'
He's got a sticker in front of him.
She looks cool.
I expected the TVTropes page for the movie to already have a "drinking game" template...
They just need one rule for it in order to make it challenging
"Take a shot for every Original Trilogy call back, be it a score theme, a line, a particular frame or a similiar plot point"
You should be at your 4-5 shot by the time the opening scene is finished...

I think we found the true steel book cover we all deserve
